This is a style I have always been keen on and Sam really pulls off well. 'Life Support' is one of my favourite songs on the album, I really like his change from normal vocals to falsetto vocals. I think it would really work for her, not that it doesn't work for Sam. I would love to see someone like Anastasia doing a cover of this song. I like the whole story telling theme that goes throughout each song on the album and the fact his constant reinventing himself on each track is present but keeping to his own formula. Soul song which Sam really makes his own. 'Like I Can' is slightly more upbeat and almost a Diva Esq. 'I told you Now' is a cut down track that in places is just very quiet piano and acoustic guitar letting the vocals tell the story of it, this track really needs no more said than this. If you like classic Soul material you will absolutely love this song. 'I'm not the only One' has a Marvin Gaye feel, you can imagine Sam singing 'Dock of the Bay' really well and I like the fact he puts his influences into his music and the quite underlining piano really makes the track. It is a traditional Pop love song that is very nice to listen to and again shows off what Sam Smith is best at. 'Leave your Lover' is an emotional ballad which has a nice flow to it. It's a simple little song but it doesn't need anything more than it's got and that is what makes it so good. I think this is a song that will go down in history and will not be forgotten. Like in his new single 'Stay with Me' which is the third track on the album and a really stand out song. This really sounds like a classic Northern Soul track and the feeling is so amazing, it also has almost a Celtic feel half way through showing Sam is not afraid to mix things up. The second track 'Good Thing' is a track that even Al Green or any Soul legend would be happy to call their own it is slow but has real emotion to it that Sam really brings across well.
This is a great track to listen to on your Walkman while your out and about and has a great groove to it. Most people would love this track but I can see why some people wouldn't because Sam's tone when he get's going is a love or hate thing, which I have personally come to love. This song is lead by a Garage beat and Sam's vocals which are high pitched in moments. I have to say what an album it is, starting off with his brilliant and well received single 'Money on my Mind' Which is the second to be released of the record. 'In the lonely Hour' is his highly anticipated debut album and follow-up to his extended play EP 'Nirvana'. Brit Award winner Samuel Frederick 'Sam' Smith is the name on every ones lips and this is because of his distinctive vocal style and how interesting he makes his tracks which can mix up Soul, Pop and even Drum 'n' Bass and 2-Step Garage.
