But that extra something doesn't particularly arrive. After a while, it leaves you wanting for a little bit more, for that extra something to make each track stand out from the next. ‘I’ve Told You Now’ follows on from this too – there’s a lot of slow moving songs featuring sweet vocals hitting high pitch notes and floating over calm, inoffensive backings.

Where Adele blasts her vocals in an in-your-face manner, Smith is more subtle, driving his songs with calm but assertive vocals that reach a diverse range of keys. The soulful vibes continue on latest single ‘Stay With Me’, a single so slow-burning, vocal orientated and piano driven that it attracted many comparisons to Adele. ‘Good Thing’ moves slowly and intricately, offering up an emotional ballad-style number from the artist that wouldn't look out of place on Broadway with its mix of emotive lyrics and a backing made up of soft guitar and piano but featuring strong strings on occasion too. The enticing, fast-paced back beat lays the perfect foundation for the artist’s highly-rated vocals, combining simple but effective electronic and instrumental producing with Smith’s signature vocal range to produce a tune which just doesn't get old fast. The artist doesn't disappoint in the beginning anyway, opening with massive hit ‘Money On My Mind’. Sam Smith returns with his debut album ‘In The Lonely Hour’, as the British artist continues his quest to take over the current chart scene.Īfter winning the BRITs Critics Choice Award and topping the BBC Sound Poll, the first full record from Smith was always bound to land under the heavy weight of expectation despite the singer’s relative inexperience.
