English singer-songwriter who broke through as a featured artist in 2012 and released the debut album In the Lonely Hour in 2014; known for an emotive, falsetto-forward voice and pop/R&B/soul material.

From the review: studied jazz and soul, retreated for three years before releasing The thrill of it all (2017); praised for astonishing vocal ability, songwriting, and a mix of R&B verses with gospel choruses. Publicly verifiable: breakthrough in 2012 (featured on Disclosure's "Latch"), debut album In the Lonely Hour (2014), and continued releases thereafter.

The available review praises Sam Smith's vocal ability, songwriting and a return to simpler, instrument-driven arrangements. The reviewer highlights R&B verses paired with gospel choruses and considers the 2017 album among the year's best. The critique notes influences from jazz, soul and classic pop forms.

For:Fans of vocal-driven pop, contemporary R&B and soul who prefer classic instrumentation and strong songwriting.

 the difference is made by his astonishing vocal ability and the songs, well-written and equally well-played, without frills, without digital effects, but as it used to be done, with few but good instruments, including the "choruses" that are rarely heard today.
