iSouth Artist to Watch: Sam Smith

Sam Smith - Stay With Me
Samuel Frederick "Sam" Smith (born 19 May 1992) is an English singer-songwriter. Although the first solo single form soul-inspired, London-born artist Sam Smith was issued in early 2013, it was his soaring vocal contribution to Disclosure’s October 2012 U.K. garage track “Latch” that brought him to most people’s attention. For most of his teens, Smith balanced study with music, soaking in the raw and passionate approach to performance exemplified by his favorite artist at that time such as Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, and Chaka Khan. “Latch” hit the upper reaches of the U.K. singles chart when Smith was 21, . It was announced on 16 December that Smith's debut studio album titled In the Lonely Hour would be released on 26 May 2014 through Capitol Records. Smith made his American television debut on Saturday Night Live on 29 March 2014, performing "Stay with Me" and "Lay Me Down". This guy is the truth!!! In a time when artists are hiding their lack of talent with smoke and dancers, this guy is bringing it vocally. Thank you UK!!!
