I have not stopped listening to Sam Smith’s new album, “The Thrill Of It All” since it was released. I feel as if I need to tell everyone I know about this album because I’m in love with it. Sam Smith is a classic-sounding voice in the contemporary era, and he knocked this one out of the park. The album has a vintage sound that you don’t hear too much anymore, and as a lover of older music, I can’t contain my excitement. I especially can’t contain my excitement when there are gospel choirs involved, and Smith delivers in that department as well.

This album has a little bit of everything. The incredible vocals are to be expected, but you want to truly listen to the lyrics to get the full experience. There are tracks about love, heartbreak, family issues, and even religion. The lyrics are genius, and people like you and I can actually relate to them. In my opinion that is what gets people to buy albums, because being able to relate to music on a deeper level is priceless.

I don’t listen to the radio much, nor do I know how many of Smith’s new songs will get requested. However, if it were up to me he’d be singing on the radio all the time because we need a little more of his unique sound. Even some of the transitions between songs are incredible, so listen closely.

My top 3 songs on this album are as follows:

One Day At A Time

The Thrill Of It All

Pray

There’s just something about the lyrics to One Day At A Time that hits me right in the feelings every time I listen to it. So if you need some new music in your life, or a good cry session, I highly recommend Sam Smith’s new album “The Thrill Of It All.”
