enchanted0 Posted March 11 Posted March 11 (edited) the amount of bops they've given us.... we should spend more time appreciating artists like them instead of dragging Katy. what do you guys think about their music? I think they're at least at icon status. Edited March 11 by enchanted0 4 2 1

Yog Posted March 11 Posted March 11 (edited) Exactly, but at the end of the day, they're still pretty successful that can still bring in numbers with the many hits they have throughout their career and successful albums to back to up, Gloria still managed to be eligible Platinum in the USA, despite everything.. There still gathering an healthy amount of daily Spotify listeners at #36 with 54M listeners, Gloria is was misstep that Sam is currently trying to remedied, and I think they can achieve.

Weld_E Posted March 11 Posted March 11 (edited) Agreed. They have so many great songs. Edited March 11 by Weld_E
Achilles. Posted March 11 Posted March 11 One of the weirdest catalogs and career trajectories in recent pop history tbh "Kids Again" should have been a classic. 1
J-esper Posted March 11 Posted March 11 I kinda want them to go full out one more time and create an I am...Sasha Fierce kind of double album. Just one disc with what people call 'the old' Sam Smith and one disc with hot sweaty pop songs and club ready bangers. I feel Sam has showed some of that but they could take it further 3

And that's why I stan Sam, and they have stated of wanting to try many genres in one album so they don't feel their not trapped in a box, Sam has touched upon, R&B, Pop, Dance-Pop, Disco, Hyper Pop, Soft Rock, Dancebeat, Synth Pop esc Sam way more than a balladeer, it's just the ballads are the their bread & better to most people but they shown their versatility in many variations, Edited March 11 by Yog
Just a Gay on ATRL Posted March 11 Posted March 11 (below is strictly my personal opinion) I feel like they're fairly rated. I don't think anything they've released from their catalog has been extraordinary. Stay With Me and all the subsequent ballads from In the Lonely Hour and The Thrill of It All are GOOD but pretty run of the mill, maybe even boring at their worst. I go back to other artists for my ballad fix moreso than any of Sam's. Dancing With a Stranger & How Do You Sleep are the best things Sam has done as a lead, but the rest of Love Goes was kinda disjointed & more of the same so-so. I feel like the album was disjointed. Same with Gloria. Unholy being their biggest hit in modern times is kind of a shame - I don't think that song is that good. Their best song ever & the only song that really gets me excited to listen to even to this day is when they were a feature - Latch. Overall I feel like Sam has yet to release an album that I think is really amazing or influential. 2
Damien M Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Sam is great. Some gays drag queer artists for not being "perfect" but turn around and stan the most basic pop girls DOWN. This has got to stop. 7

I actually agree on the influential part, I feel Sam's artistic persona & talent is more influential compared to the actual work, if that makes sense. Edited March 11 by Yog

I have the most utmost respect and camaraderie for the trans people in my life and the community I didn't realize my ignorance glossed over me since I know how prevalent misgendering is to trans people Edited March 11 by fememeist 1
John Slayne Posted March 11 Posted March 11 i never understood their appeal. i found their early career ballads to be very boring and their newer material is kinda just there... i didn't hate Vulgar, In The City, or I'm Not Here To Make Friends, but they weren't remarkable either. Unholy is catchy I guess the only song i have ever truly enjoyed from them was La la la, and even that is not something i revisit. i would like to like Sam more because i think it's cool to see a queer artist achieve mainstream success, but their music just doesn't click with me
