This album, this journey has completely changed my life. Smith on In The Lonely Hour: Drowning Shadows Edition: 'This is a present directly from me to my fans. His vocals had to be at the centre, and we stripped away everything that got in the way.' So when we made his album, the vocals were the key. The first time I recorded him, laying down his vocals on 'Money On My Mind', it was immediately obvious what an amazing talent he is. He sings completely effortlessly and natural. He is the best singer I have worked with since I worked those legends. 'I've been lucky enough to work with some of the world's greatest singers, like Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, Cher and Seal,' explains Steve Fitzmaurice (who recorded, mixed and co-produced the album) to Sound On Sound, 'and Sam is easily in the same league. Anchored by the Two Inch Punch produced smash lead single 'Money On My Mind,' and follow-up 'Stay With Me,' In The Lonely Hour contains plenty of melancholia and unrequited love within. Despite the impressive list of partnerships, the album still has his signature all over it with a powerful sound and mesmerizing, unforgettable vocals. In the course of putting it together, Smith worked with a roll call of blue chip collaborative names including Fraser T Smith, Two Inch Punch, Eg White, Disclosure, Zane Lowe, Tourist and long term writing partner Jimmy Napes. I wanted to take a risk.' And boy did it pay off when it yielded four Grammy awards including Best Pop Vocal Album, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist. A true labor of love, Smith explained, 'I said to myself, I don't want to have a genre. In The Lonely Hour is the world-wide smash 2014 debut album from fast rising English singer/songwriter Sam Smith.
