Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Sam Smith performed last week on SNL and I fell head over heels for this song on first listen. Here's a lil bio on Sam Smith: Samuel Frederick "Sam" Smith (born 19 May 1992) is an British singer-songwriter. He rose to fame in October 2012 when he featured on Disclosure's breakthrough single "Latch", which peaked at number eleven on the UK chart. His subsequent feature—on Naughty Boy's "La La La"—earned him his first number-one single in May 2013. In December 2013, Smith was nominated for the 2014 BRIT Critics' Choice Award and the BBC's Sound of 2014 poll; both of which he went on to win. He is scheduled to release his debut studio album, In the Lonely Hour, on 26 May 2014 via Capitol Records. The lead single, "Lay Me Down", was released prior to "La La La". The second single, "Money on My Mind", was released on 16 February His third single, "Stay With Me" was released sometime in March. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB-5XG-DbAA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyna ♔ Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 He does have a great voice. It just sounds like he's still figuring out how to use it. I love his writing as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopia Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 He shines when he does covers and sucks when he does originals. The acoustic version of his song with Disclosure is the best thing he has ever done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
