If Smith didn't have such a remarkable voice, they could stay busy composing songs for artists in several genres the anthemic "Like I Can" could be easily adapted for a contemporary country singer, while a few others could be turned over to young pop artists in need of material that makes them sound more human. That puts all the more focus on Smith's voice and words, the latter of which switch between borderline maudlin ("What use is money when you need someone to hold?") and disarmingly brazen ("Just leave your lover, leave him for me"). The dominance of stripped-down backdrops - some with merely piano, acoustic guitar, and conservative strings - is somewhat surprising. Much more about mourning than movement here, Smith is bold for not attempting to capitalize on the Disclosure and Naughty Boy hits. Deep sorrow informs most of the material. Those three solo singles are here, along with seven new songs that tend to cast Smith as a heartbroken balladeer. They preceded the release of In the Lonely Hour, the singer and songwriter's debut album. "Money on My Mind," an upbeat statement of purpose more about the soul than the heart, and "Stay with Me," a torch song with a gospel-inspired chorus, were Smith's second and third solo singles. It was quickly eclipsed by a lead role on Naughty Boy's "La La La," a breakbeat-driven tearjerker that went to number one in the U.K. Early 2013 brought their debut solo single, "Lay Me Down" - an aching singer/songwriter-soul throwback that scraped the U.K. Smith grew up listening to R&B giants Chaka Khan, Luther Vandross, and Whitney Houston, but their first impression was unique, not merely for the richness of their voice, but its resoundingly expressive yet naturally delivered manner - on a level most singers can't match with maximum effort. hit in 2012, introduced Sam Smith, a London-born vocalist with a deeply emotive voice.
