This cover image released by Capitol Records shows 'The Thrill of It All,' by Sam Smith. He came out as gay around the time of its release and took extreme care to avoid alienating mainstream fans with overt references to a male love interest, even scrubbing the gender pronouns from a cover of Whitney Houston's ' How Will I Know.' He sold more than 12В million copies of ' In the Lonely Hour,' his 2014 debut. She can get away with anything Smith has made a side career out of stepping in it.Д®ver since his breakout feature turn on Disclosure's 2012 hit ' Latch,' Sam Smith and fame have uncomfortably coexisted. No one remembers seeing them in the same place at the same time.Д«ut Adele is one of the only subjects that can be agreed upon in 2017, a Teflon-wrapped unicorn who can put across very tepid pop songs through the sheer force of her personality, something Smith is unable to do. When Adele is on an album cycle, Smith - whose second album, ' The Thrill of It All,' was released Friday - lies low, and vice versa. Both have won many Grammys, and an Oscar each for singing a Bond theme. Hear them out: Both are white 20-something Brits who use the musical conventions of the American South in the '60s to craft sad, swingy ballads for people twice their age. The more I make music, the closer to myself I feel.Earlier this year, there was a half-serious conspiracy theory floated by fans on Twitter that Adele and Sam Smith were the same person. Each time I make an album, I learn to like myself a little more. A lot of my life, probably because of a lot of internalised queerphobia, and queerphobia around me, I felt ashamed of myself and not being able to fully be myself through my music. вЂњWhen I look back at Love Goes, it reminds of the courage it took. вЂњI felt at one point that I was going to be trapped onstage wearing a suit and singing ballads for the rest of my life,вЂќ said Smith. The album, Smith said ahead of its release, allowed them to heal after their first true break-up. That third LP should have arrived in early 2020 in the form of To Die For, but, amid the global pandemic, it was delayed, reworked and renamed with the more sensitive title of Love Goes. The aching melancholy of love, loss, and yearning for someone to spend their days with was still present, but this time, it was all being mined for invigorating music to help dance the blues away.

It has always been clear that SmithвЂ™s power lies as much in that voice as in an unwavering bravery to put their innermost feelings-loneliness, confusion, desperation, desire-on full public view.Д«y the run-up to album three, however, Smith was also ready to have a little more fun. This second album saw Smith-by then an Oscar winner for 2015вЂ™s Bond theme вЂњWritingвЂ™s on the WallвЂќ-open up about instant fame and embrace their status as a gay role model, against a backdrop of stirring, gospel-infused balladry. That arrived with 2014вЂ™s Grammy-winning In the Midnight Hour, an exquisite meditation on unrequited love, and its follow-up, the heartbreak-inspired The Thrill of It All. They revealed that elastic falsetto, but didnвЂ™t quite hint at the sadness that would define the outrageous success to come. вЂњMusic is literally my best friend itвЂ™s a release, a form of diary and therapy.вЂќД«orn in London in 1992 and raised in Cambridge, Smith first began gaining significant traction in 2012 with a pair of dance hits-DisclosureвЂ™s вЂњLatchвЂќ, and Naughty BoyвЂ™s вЂњLa La LaвЂќ the following year. вЂњIвЂ™ve never shied away from telling the truth in my music,вЂќ the singer told Apple Music in 2020. ItвЂ™s hard to think of many artists in 21st-century pop who could match the vulnerability of Sam Smith.
