Now you may not remember his name but this guy has got a potentially great future waiting for him. The rosy-cheeked Sam Smith loved to sing like since he was in diapers. The young musician was taught by a jazz singer and always admired Whitney Houston and Chaka Khan.
In a ten-year period, he changed several producers, moved to London and got a job at the bar. Exactly at the moment when Smith waved his hand at unsuccessful attempts to become famous, everything began to turn out by itself. His song Lay Me Down was noticed by managers of the electronic duo Disclosure, so a collaboration of musicians and their joint hit Latch was born.
It was followed by the partnership with another popular British, Naughty Boy, and another hit – La La La, after which Smith switched to solo work. As he himself explained more than once in an interview, he wants to tell stories with the help of songs.
At the same time, it turned out that Smith's music is the purest commercial mix of soul, dance-pop, and R'n'B. Another important issue for this British is loneliness: by the age of 20 the singer has not had a serious relationship, so he knows about the romance only by hearsay.
This explains why Sam's ballads about love are so naive. In the fateful Lay Me Down he painfully sings about how he dreams to lie down next to the object of adoration and take care of him until death parts them. On the other hand, it is these words that an average woman wants to hear, and not just a woman.
