Would it be a complete understatement to say that UK's SAM SMITH is doing very well for himself? Yes, yes it would most definitely be. Most notably coming in to light through his guest vocals on electro-duo DISCLOSURE's hit 'Latch', SAM SMITH has slowly and steadily emerged in his own rights as a powerhouse singer/songwriter.
With singles 'Money On My Mind', 'Make It To Me' and recent chart topper 'Stay With Me', there's no denying the singer's unwavering vocal strength and foolproof balladry, despite what your personal musical preference may be.
Let's face it, SMITH's got a knack for inducing a strong, crushing feeling in your chest with every line he delivers - either admitting to such emotion or passing it off as 'heartburn', completely up to you.
Releasing his debut album In The Lonely Hour a mere week ago, the 22 year old has teamed up with legendary RNB icon MARY J BLIGE for an even more soulful take on his track, 'Stay With Me'. Though it seems many would've preferred Ms. BLIGE to have stayed out of it, check out the video and decide if you're 'Stay' (get it?) or 'Nay' to this duet.
