SAM SMITH: SINGER/SONGWRITER

Sam Smith, the 22 year old from London England, is debuting his first studio album ‘In the Lonely Hour’. He is all over the radio stations playing POP music.

Released May 26, 2014 by Capitol Records, and to iTunes on June 17, 2014. He previously released singles  ‘Latch’, ‘ Money on My Mind’, ‘Lay Me Down’, and  ‘Stay with Me’. Also included on the album is ‘La La La’ featuring Sam Smith with Naughty Boy.

The album is basically one ballad after another, with only a few upbeat tracks. The soulful singer reflects his lonely hour with music and his fabulous voice and frame of mind. Smith equates his feelings to not having reciprocated love from those he cared about. While he sings beautifully, it is kind of a downer, but very good overall. 

Smith confesses he struggles with OCD, and cannot leave the house until he performs his checking routine.  Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, OCD, is an anxiety disorder and is characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive behaviors.  He appears to do just fine while performing. His singing  voice will see him through
