Singer-songwriter Sam Smith released his debut album at the end of May this year and it has been acclaimed by fans and critics alike. Having listened to it for over a week, I can certainly recommend buying it. The Lonely Hour contains sensational hits such as 'Stay with me', 'Money on my mind', 'La La La' and 'Lay Me Down'.
The other songs on the album are equally impressive. Some are slow love songs and Smith's powerful voice means they are far from dull. Some tunes such as 'Like I Can' have a quick catchy beat; his voice is also suited to songs with a more rapid tempo. Arguably each record will improve the sound of your iPod. An acoustic version of 'Latch' is avilable too, which was a massively successful smash hit Disclosure and Sam Smith recently released.
If you want to chill out on a fine summer's afternoon with some music, this album would be an excellent choice. His voice is incredible and after hearing each song once, you will surely be craving for a second listen. It's difficult to believe that it's only his first album. Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran will likely generate the most sales from British male artists this year.
For those of you that are already big Sam Smith fans, there are still opportunities to see the man himself live this summer. Tickets are still available for T in the Park in Kinross, UK on the 13th July and Longitude Festival in Marley Park, Ireland on the 19th July.
If you enjoy quality music then purchase this album or download the tracks. Even better still, go and see him live in concert this summer at one of the many festivals he is playing. Sam Smith at age 22 is a young raw talent who is on course to have a phenomenal career.
