I'm in love with this guy. Love his voice love the album. Probably my favorite new male artist since Bruno(and I like him more than I ever liked Bruno).
Can't wait for album 2 even though we will have to wait for a while probably.
Plus he loves B, so you know he's good people.

If he runs the table at the Grammys this year (which is definitely possible), ITLH will get a second wind through 2015, but I could definitely see them pushing for a second album in early 2016 to prove he's not just a flash in the pan.

He's probably going to get a performance slot at the Grammys too, which my itself is going to do big things. I'm not really sure what there is to push after Like I Can on the regular edition though, especially as a worldwide single. Both Money on My Mind and Leave Your Lover have been played in the UK.
I'm kinda hoping they close out the era after Like I Can and launch a new project late next year rather than a re-release..

I'd love Lay Me Down after Like I Can or on the off-chance do I've Told You Now.

Not In That Way is one of the most beautiful and heart braking songs I have ever heard. I am obsessed. I keep listening and keep getting chills.

I ended up buying the album last night and love it. The only clunker for me is Life Support. That's really unlistenable but the rest is amazing. For some reason the first song didn't download so I haven't heard that one yet but waiting on Apply support to fix it.

I cannot wait to see him in a couple of weeks for ACL! He's been my obsession. I need a Sam Smith/Kelly Clarkson duet asap! Maybe you'll get your wish--she has confirmed a duet with a male singer who had an "amazing voice" and is "someone everyone loves." Then she covered Stay With Me at her first show back since she had her baby. Might be nothing, though--everyone is covering that song. I saw Patti LaBelle in concert last night and she performed "Stay With Me."

After purchasing this album first week, I'm finally starting to really get into it. I have been loving 'Like I Can'.

Ugh, what a cheap, basic and pointless video for a GREAT song like this! So disappointed. Even Restart was much better than this. Still love the song though - I believe this could be his first number one in the US.

I don't find Sam Smith to be particularly attractive (especially the shape of his head...) but that picture is damn sexy and yeah, the chest hair helps. Gives me hope that if I want to, and with the right photographer and setting, I could be hot too! Sam Smith - giving confidence to a whole generation of self-conscious gays! :'(
