The Thrill of It All

Sam Smith

A collection of stark, gospel-tinged soul ballads. Intimate piano and massive choral arrangements frame a voice that sounds like a matter of life and death.

A dignified and soul-baring exploration of loss that finds a strange kind of majesty in sadness.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, swelling entrance of the gospel choir on 'HIM' that transforms a private prayer into a public anthem.
The skeletal, finger-picked guitar on 'Palace' that makes the vocal feel like it's being whispered directly into your ear.
The rhythmic, finger-snap drive of 'Too Good at Goodbyes' that provides a steady pulse against the soaring emotional peaks.
