![]() Unfortunately, it’s probably this track that I think of as representing Smith best. The rest of the album falls into that same category. A duet with Mary J Blige doesn’t improve 'Stay With Me' whatsoever and similar collaborations don’t serve to make any headway. Outside of the live track featuring Disclosure, the best thing that you can say about the additions to the record is that they at least didn’t include arguably the least impactful James Bond theme tune of all time. The success of Smith remains a mystery to me. ![]() In most cases, you can identify a feature that others see in an act that drives it to success but here there’s only one thing that stands out and that’s the sob story that comes with his live show. The rehearsed between song sympathy grab designed to move an audience that I’ve criticised so heavily in the past.
