Influences: Adele, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Lady Gaga, Chaka KhanSamuel Frederick Smith (born 19 May 1992) is an English singer-songwriter.Smith primarily performs in the R&B genre while borrowing elements of pop, soul, rock, electronica and folk. Their first success came when they were featured on the songs "Latch" by Disclosure, and "La La La" by Naughty Boy. Eventually, they won the 2015 Grammy for Best New Artist, 2014 BRIT Critic's Choice Award and the BBC's Sound of 2014 poll, and their debut album In the Lonely Hour was released in May 2014. Smith performed the title theme for the James Bond film Spectre, "Writing's on the Wall", netting the Golden Globe and the Oscar for Best Original Song (much like fellow-Brit Adele did for its predecessor Skyfall).Smith came out as non-binary in March 2019, and has used they/them pronouns since September 2019. | |

Boléro Effect | |
| Sam Smith (Music) / int_3096c919 | comment |
Boléro Effect: The album version of "Lay Me Down"—sadly, on the video version, this bit is toned down. | |

The Rich Have White Stuff | |
| Sam Smith (Music) / int_3483645b | comment |
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. | |

Concept Album | |
| Sam Smith (Music) / int_34f6774c | comment |
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. | |

Ambiguous Syntax | |
| Sam Smith (Music) / int_5aa4ec8a | comment |
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." | |

Real Life Writes the Plot: The album In the Lonely Hour was inspired by when they were heartbroken after suffering from unrequited love. | |

| Sam Smith (Music) / int_a25b0db9 | comment |
Murderous Mannequin: In the video for "To Die For", the singer is a wigless mannequin head staring out of a window display. After a while, the singer is the only mannequin head left. A man walks by who smashes in the window and takes the singer with him. | |

Rearrange the Song | |
| Sam Smith (Music) / int_b24ce4b2 | comment |
Rearrange the Song: "Lay Me Down" originally was released in 2013 as an upbeat soul ballad. 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. | |

| Sam Smith (Music) / int_fda23a3b | comment |
Spear Counterpart: Smith was often referred to as a "male Adele", but they don't like the comparison. This may be in part because the "male" part isn't exactly accurate. 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. | |
