Sam Smith
Born Samuel Frederick Smith in London on May 19, 1992, he is one of the biggest pop stars of our time. The singer, who identifies as non-binary, released his debut album in 2014. In The Lonely Hour is a remarkably mature album thanks to the combination of fragile songs and personal lyrics. One of these is the hit Stay With Me, the album's third single. In The Lonely Hour is an instant classic. In America, the debut album is the best-selling album since Taylor Swift's 1989 album. In England, it is only surpassed by megastar Ed Sheeran's X. The album has also been showered with music awards, including four Grammys in America. In 2015, Sam Smith also provided the theme song for the James Bond film Spectre with Writing On The Wall.
The important second album, The Thrill Of It All (2017), reached number one in the charts in several countries, including the US and the UK. The Thrill Of It All world tour was also an immense success. Sam Smith scored a seventh number one hit in the UK with "Promises," recorded with Calvin Harris. In 2020, the third album was supposed to be released under the title "To Die For," but due to the current COVID-19 epidemic, both the tracks and the title were changed. The album was ultimately released as "Love Goes" (2020). The fourth album, "Gloria," was another success, partly thanks to "Unholy," a duet with German singer Kim Petras. It earned the singer a new Grammy. The album's lyrics are candid. This is reflected in the concerts of the "Gloria The Tour" world tour, which consists of three segments: LOVE, Beauty, and SEX. Both this recent album and those performances clearly demonstrate that Sam Smith continues to develop at a rapid pace.
