SAM SMITH – STAY WITH ME – (ASYLUM)

Sam Smith has soul for days and this epic, sprawling gospel uplifted heart breaker will do much to secure his place in the newcomers’ Hall of Fame.  The Wilfrid Giroux remix is bright and bouncy working the ‘these things never go to plan’ vocal loop into the arrangement like chocolate chips into the finest cookie dough.  It’s so good you’ll want to eat it. Add a tearing Shy FX revision and you have the recipe for a classic that will endure in more arenas than one.


4/5
