What I'm Listening To #117

Sam Smith's latest CD "In The Lonely Hour" is a tour de force of heart enthralling love songs full of tender emotions.  The arrange- ments are varied and well suited to the mood and meaning of each song.  And his voice is brilliant.  He embodies that comfortably British take on American music genre from gospel to the blues, from Motown to techno pop.  A very evocative artist whose art settles well into the soul of this listener.
