"Like I Can" will be released as the sixth overall single from Sam Smith's debut album, In the Lonely Hour in December to the UK.
Hopefully this means a US release next? Please?

My first full listen right now!
This is much catchier than "I'm Not the Only One" or "Leave Your Lover." It has that turn-of-the-century Europop soul feel to it. I like it!

My 2nd favorite track off the album only behind the excellent jam, Restart. It's very RITD and aggressive.

This song stuck out to me as a single, when I listened to the album, so I'm not surprised it's getting released. I don't know if they should release this in the US, though. It's a little too poppy for the urban formats, which are surprisingly supporting him a lot.

Sam posted this remix on his Facebook page earlier today. It is available for pre-order on iTunes too. https%3A//soundcloud.com/samsmithworld/sam-smith-like-i-can-jonas-rathsman-remix
I wonder if this version will be sent to radio instead of the original a la "Summertime Sadness".

Easily the best choice left from the regular edition from the album. Not really sure what there's left to release from the regular edition after this seeing as they kinda played Leave Your Lover already earlier in the year with the video.
This would be a good single stateside too, since both of his singles here have been downbeat so far. There's no need for a remix whatsoever for this imo, it's virtually modeled after Rolling In The Deep, which hit without one.

I am so hoping this is released as a radio single in the US! I really like it. I did search for the remix on iTunes, but couldn't find it...maybe it is coming later! Thanks for posting this!

This has burned on me already. I skip over it every time now and I have only listened to it like 20 times.

The video's meh, but ok.
Did they use a slightly different mix for it? It sounds like the vocals were put a just a bit more in the back and the track was brought up by a little. It actually works better this way imo because it makes the most grating part of it ("why are you looking") much less so by doing very little.

What kind of Adele walking on a bridge music video. He IS truly the male Adele.

I assumed this would have been the next US single but apparently it's not. ANYWAY, I caught this video when I was in London last month and my jaw dropped to see it was filmed inside my favorite Mexican joint in all of NYC! (The scene where Sam, his much hotter irl boyfriend, and others are doing shots under the Mezcaleria sign). Now I'm hungry.

Interesante, this under Hot Tracks on iTunes in the US. Could they be bailing on "Lay Me Down"?
