Stepford Smiler: The wife from the "I'm Not the Only One" music video is Type A. The UK’s anointed king crooner Sam Smith is pulling back the veil around his highly anticipated debut LP In The Lonely Hour with the track list and album cover for the release.After now. There are similarities between Sam and Adele's music and singing styles, and the fact that both won Oscars for singing James Bond themes no doubt hasn't decreased the number of comparisons, but to be fair, Sam and Adele's styles aren't identical. This may be in part because the "male" part isn't exactly accurate. Spear Counterpart: Smith was often referred to as a "male Adele", but they don't like the comparison. The Rich Have White Stuff: The husband of "I'm Not the Only One" is the rich guy to have the all-white stuff, contrasted with the darkness when they're cheating. Retraux: Their music is a throwback to '60s soul and gospel. The album version of the song is more progressive and epic in nature, and the video version of the song (quite sadly) removes the drums and extra strings. Rearrange the Song: "Lay Me Down" originally was released in 2013 as an upbeat soul ballad. Real Life Writes the Plot: The album In the Lonely Hour was inspired by when they were heartbroken after suffering from unrequited love. A man walks by who smashes in the window and takes the singer with him. After a while, the singer is the only mannequin head left. Murderous Mannequin: In the video for "To Die For", the singer is a wigless mannequin head staring out of a window display. Lonely Piano Piece: The acoustic version of "Lay Me Down". Genre-Busting: While prominently pop-soul, In the Lonely Hour also jumps around to incorporating influences of breakbeat ("Money on My Mind"), synthpop ("Life Support"), disco ("Restart"), alternative rock ("Like I Can"), folk ("Not in That Way" and "Leave Your Lover"), and soft rock ("I'm Not the Only One" and "Stay with Me"). Dream Team: With Normani on "Dancing with a Stranger". Concept Album: In the Lonely Hour, as the title implies, focuses on a slow and sad-sounding sound because the songs focus on loneliness, sadness, and longing for love. Boléro Effect: The album version of "Lay Me Down"-sadly, on the video version, this bit is toned down. Ambiguous Syntax: The final line of "Leave Your Lover" reads "Leave your lover/Leave him for me." Most would instinctively read it as "leave your lover and be with me," but The Reveal at the end of the music video (as well as the fact that Smith is gay) implies the meaning to be "leave your lover so that I can be with him.". Robyn does that for me.Oh, won't you trope with me?/'Cause they're all I need: “But if you actually listen to the lyrics,” Smith says, “they’re desperately sad. A few cuts, like “Baby, You Make Me Crazy,” are relentlessly upbeat, recalling Sixties soul. (Stargate, Timbaland and other hitmakers also worked on the LP.) Smith says he’d head to the studio around noon, work until dark, “and then I would go out with my friends, gay-clubbing in London.”Īs his mood grew brighter, the songs did too. 
He wrote songs like “Burning” and the single “Too Good at Goodbyes,” which describe the mental toll of a broken relationship. Working with Jimmy Napes, who co-produced much of In the Lonely Hour, Smith overcame his early-session jitters. It actually left me just realizing I had a long journey of self-love to go on.” “He was the loveliest person in the world,” Smith says. He got in shape, going on a diet and working out regularly: “I still don’t enjoy it, but I force myself to do it.” Smith also found time for a relationship, dating someone for about six months, but it didn’t work out. Smith ducked out of the spotlight, living with his younger sister in London and working on the album. In 2016, Smith won an Academy Award for his James Bond theme, “Writing’s on the Wall.” But he was frustrated with his Oscars performance (he called it “the worst moment of my life”) and became a target of Internet hate after he mistakenly suggested he was the first openly gay man to win an Oscar. “A lot of people get a record deal and spend that money on stuff. Smith says the instant fame he found after his huge 2014 hit, “Stay With Me,” “scared the shit out of me.” He grew distant from friends and family: “It got to where the only time I would see my mum was after a show with record execs.” On the road, he gained substantial weight.
