My favorite message that I have received from Smith's music has been to lean into and embrace emotions through music. He has worked hard to uphold his image in the R&B music scene and is not afraid to take a few jabs at his people of inspiration for such a sad and melodramatic album such as "In the Lonely Hour". Smith accepting one of his 4 Grammy's with a passive aggressive and straightforward acceptance speech full of savage epic-ness.Īn emotionally-driven artist and soulful man, Sam Smith also has savage moments like anyone else. He may have even helped the LGBTQ community become more acceptable in society as well by being such a great person and artist. He helped build his image and his band's image as a soulful and sultry R&B artist who is not afraid to be honest with his emotions. Sam Smith came into the music scene the same man that he is today, which many musicians cannot say unfortunately. All three of those topics are far too beloved and normal in our society for most artists to address the issue or divide however, Smith shows raw humanity and emotion through "Drowning Shadows" unapologetically and wholeheartedly addressing the dangers behind hookup culture.Īs a man of brutal honesty, humility and raw emotion, Smith helps the music culture by īringing transparency to the importance of emotion and the fact that music should evoke emotion and not always be mindlessly referenced through a more vulgar and explicit hip hop and rap culture.
Smith clearly understands the dynamic of millennial hookup culture and its detrimental nature and wants to express the danger of social drinking, alcoholism and hooking up.
Smith performs his song "Writing's On The Wall" from the Spectre 007 soundtrack at the Oscars.
