Sam is very much correct, when you been in the industry for nearly TWO DECADES and accomplished so much during those years and selling hundreds of MILLIONS of records, it gets to a point where you can release anything with regard of commercial appeal.
Commercially, Sam doesn’t have much to prove.
Sam Smith during Music Room performance for @AppleMusic:
“For a while I was quite scared to fall in love because I was worried I wouldn’t be able to access the deep melancholic feelings…After 4 years of being in a beautiful relationship…I actually think I access those things deeper than ever before.”
