Sam Smith's contemporary soul-pop sound has been sweeping the world since we first heard him on Disclosure's "Latch". With his style comes a sound that you would never expect to become so popular, but when you have a voice like he does, all preconceived notions of popularity fly out the window. By now, most all of us are familiar with his music, but today we find the vocalist at his most tender on the latest track to emerge from his forthcoming debut, "Leave Your Lover". Promising to be one of the year's best albums, In The Lonely Hour will have some songs you've already heard, but there will also be new ones that will round out the body of work and make it a worldwide favorite. In The Lonely Hour will be released in the UK on May 23rd, with the US-release falling on June 16th. You can pre-order the album via iTunes iTunes, and check out the video to "Leave Your Lover" via Love.
