Definitely looking forward to the new album. I've just about enjoyed everything he's done so far with his solo work and collabs with others so far. You can't deny his incredible voice.

Nirvana is fucking amazing. I've been obsessed with Make It To Me and Latch (Acoustic) for a while now.
This dude is destined for greatness, his voice is incredible. I'm seeing him live on April 15th. <3

I listened to his Nirvana EP and his vocals were outstanding as expected. I don't think I've ever been this interested in a male artist ever and I'm really rooting for him to breakout this year.

"Money On My Mind" was finally released on UK iTunes about an hour ago. Dude was freaking out on Twitter in the lead up (giving "10 minutes!" "5 minutes!" "3 minutes!" countdown updates) and it was both annoying and endearing all at once.
Anyway he's good. It's already at #5 on UK iTunes within an hour of its release :o

I'd say more annoying than endearing. I was *this* close to unfollowing him.

I cant wait for his LP. His EP is exactly the style the lane I wanted him to go down. Straight Mood Music. His vocals remind me of a mix of Sam Sparro and Kevin Michael.

He's performing on SNL March 29. Damn, that's huge for him :o I'm thinking he'll perform "Money On My Mind" and "La La La," if he's allowed to perform the later. It is kind of odd he has such a high profile promo gig with nothing of his own to promote at this time.

He could do Nirvana or the new song her peformed during the Woodies Festival. I could also see him doing the acoustic version of Latch (he also has performs an acoustic version of La,La,La which is far superior to the original with Naughty Boy).

I'd love for him to do "Nirvana" but without an album out now promoting it seems like a waste. Meanwhile "La La La" is at a fork in the road where it could either fly under the radar and eventually disappear or blow up with an extra push. Timing to perform it on SNL is actually perfect; if it blows up it will launch more interest in Sam's solo material once it comes out anyway.

The SNL producers were out at full force at SXSW so I'm not surprised that he got a spot on the show. fun.'s Jack Antonoff may also get a spot soon to promote his side-project Bleachers. The reception for both were incredibly well received.

So is his album coming out this month in North America too? Wikipedia list only the UK for its release.

I'll likely pick up the album. I might end up stanning for both Sam and John Newman this year. And then Ed again when his album drops. I've been loving Brit music so much lately.

Based on the descriptions it certainly sounds like they're going for that multi-generational 'classic' mass appeal. It's becoming more and more evident that they're molding him to become a Grammy darling.
I'm saddened to see the complete omission of "Nirvana"- old or not- it's his best non-feature song that I've heard thus far.
In other news, he's featured on a new continental European single by German electronic duo JUUN that sounds like another global hit in the making.

I'm absolutely in love with his voice. He really is the male Adele. I have no doubt that he will get a lot of Grammy love next year. He deserves all the praise and success that he gets gets. I can't wait for this album! And allow that that JUUN song is a bop! I hope he has more songs in that vein on his album. A mix of some electronic songs and soulful R&B ballads would be perfect.
