Review by Luke Beardsworth

The success of Smith remains a mystery»

Buy now from:

Global popstar Sam Smith releases 'In The Lonely Hour: The Drowning Shadows Edition' - the extended version of his chart topping album containing a second CD of new and exclusive tracks. The exciting new album features an exclusive new track 'Drowning Shadows', co-written by Smith and Fraser T. Smith and produced by Jimmy Napes and Steve Fitzmaurice. 'Drowning Shadows' elegantly opens the second disc of the extended edition and is a stripped back, heart wrenching ballad that debuts Sam's impressive vocals over cascading strings and piano. 'The Drowning Shadows Edition' also includes Sam Smith's breath-taking covers of Amy Winehouse's 'Love Is A Losing Game' and Whitney Houston's 'How Will I Know?' alongside collaborations with A$AP Rocky, Mary J Blige and John Legend.
