Sam Smith - I Feel Love / 2019.11.01
Cover of the Donna Summer classic
It’s very likely an Promo Single.

This belongs in Non-Radio Singles & Album Tracks.
I’m intrigued either way.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the thread was of him covering Donna Summer’s original song. This will be interesting I wonder if he will slow it down or if it will be more uptempo

 OH HELL TO THE FU CKING NO. How dare Sam Smith cover that particular song? It is an untouchable classic that everyone and their redheaded stepchild and their cute little dog have covered and/or sampled already. I mean, Blondie, Blue Man Group, Bronski Beat, Kylie, Madonna, Roisin Murphy, and even Usha Uthup can and already have done this better. I will not tolerate or accept this. After what Sam said about Michael Jackson, I still have not gotten over that. I liked that "How Do You Sleep" song that came out a few months ago. It was kind of cute. But now Sam has to go and pull this sort of stunt? BYE. |

I have taken a quick look at your post history and you don't take kindly to people saying anything negative or untoward about Sam so...  |

Assuming from your tragic meltdown, I take it you don’t like artists that share their opinion on other artists, Not everyone f**ks with MJ, matter of fact.. I prefer Janet but you’re taking this to whole another level by bringing up MJ he has no relevance to this thread whatsoever... |

It's like, if Sam doesn't like Michael and/or his music that much, why oh why does he have to copy and rip off his songs and style? Sam is getting praised for doing that style of music while actual Black artists who make the same type of music don't get airplay and attention for their work which is actually much better. |

Copy & Rip? Sis Calm yourself... Sam’s influences are female black artists that They have repeatedly paid tribute, again he doesn’t f**k with male artists and he always praises Female artists on his insta (That’s probably why they said MJ’s music isn’t good to them) you act like Sam is the only white artists influenced by R&B when the likes of George Michael & Adele exists |

 It's always risky to cover a classic. I'd love to be proven wrong on this particular case, though. |

Risky of how? It’s a promo single, don’t expect much.

Besides this isn’t like Taylor Swift covering Earth, Wind & Fire’s September, Sam is capable of doing Donna justice...

Depends on if he’s been able to insert emotion into his performances because in songs that has needed it, they’ve sounded pretty stale.

I have no desire to hear several minutes of him singing seductively in falsetto.

Maybe it was just me but as good as they sounded on their first album, technically speaking, I felt the songs sounded so empty. I didn’t bother with their second album outside of the singles. But they do sound great on the uptempo numbers so more of those please! |

Yeah I'm sorry but I feel like his cover is gonna be pretty boring and just not do the OG justice
Most Sam Smith songs kinda just put me to sleep or they are just alright

I'm here for the bouncy stuff like DWAS, HDYS and Latch.
The ballads (i.e. the entirety of that second album zzz) bore me.

  It's like they went to just one circuit party or some classics night at a hole in the wall pub and think that the world is their oyster and a Jacqueline Susann novel and got drunk on Colt 45 and then thought it would be a kii to cover one of the greatest, most influential Dance/Electronic songs of ALL TIME using what is basically a karaoke track based on the arrangement from the Afrojack remix which was barely passable to begin with. This is absolutely not the tea hunny. Still canceled for me. |

This turns out better than I thought. There are parts that I feel like they fail to catch the beat, though...
