Sam Smith

14 tracks across 8 playlists

London's Sam Smith. 'In the Lonely Hour' (2014 — four Grammys, including Record of the Year for 'Stay With Me'), 'The Thrill of It All,' 'Love Goes,' 'Gloria' (2023 — featuring 'Unholy' with Kim Petras, the first openly nonbinary and first openly trans Grammy winners in their respective categories). A James Bond theme ('Writing's on the Wall' from Spectre — Oscar winner). The voice is one of the great pop voices of their decade, and the long, public arc through gender and identity has been a public-good development for pop music.
