Rolling Stone: Sam Smith comes out, says debut is dedicated to unrequited love Smith – a gifted blue-eyed-soulster with Barry Gibb’s flexible falsetto and Mark Ronson’s ear for throwback grooves – got noticed last year for his vocals on house duo Disclosure’s slow jam “Latch.” Soul Singerīritish singer Sam Smith, 21, has written a dissertation on the question with his debut LP. Let's break this thing down.Rolling Stone: Who Is Sam Smith? A Quick Primer on the U.K. You can pick that up here (It's currently on sale, so now is a great time). I picked up the Target Deluxe Edition which comes with 5 extra tracks including LaLaLa, an acoustic version of Latch, and a version of Stay with Me featuring Mary J. I've been counting down the days to this album release since that performance, so I was so excited to get finally my hands on his debut, In The Lonely Hour. It is so evident that he just exudes talent. Along with most of the television audience, I was stunned by his SNL performances. To my surprise, I loved it more every time. Finally, his song 'Nirvana' was my YouTube ad maybe 50 times in one week. Then, he performed 'Money On My Mind' with Taylor Swift when she was in London for her Red Tour, and I got more interested.

All over the place, he is being called the male version of Adele which certainly peaked my interest. Hopefully, you've noticed him on the iTunes top 10 charts where his songs have been living lately (The longest resident being 'Stay With Me'). I'm quite excited about their most recent export, Sam Smith.

It is no secret how much I love all things British, particularly their music.
