Sam Smith, The Thrill of It All Tour – Friday, August 31st
Singer Sam Smith has made a huge name for himself in a very short time, winning four Grammy Awards with his 2014 debut album, ‘In the Lonely Hour.’
Smith’s first moment in the spotlight would come when the dance/electronica duo Disclosure released its 2012 song “Latch,” to which Smith lent his vocals. The track featured the singer’s melodic falsetto over Disclosure’s electronic beat, and it immediately turned people on to the power of Smith’s voice. "Latch" reached the top of the UK singles chart when Smith was just 21, and he soon released his own single, “Lay Me Down.” "Latch," featuring a stripped-down sound that made the listener take notice of Smith’s vocal work, resonated in a big way with music fans and critics alike and laid the groundwork for his future success in the UK and beyond.
