As of late, the airwaves have been filled with the stunning vocals of UK songster Sam Smith. With the release of his latest album The Thrill of It All, songs included on the LP like “Too Good At Goodbyes” have been at the top of everyone’s moody playlists. Chicago fans will soon have the opportunity to shout out the lyrics to this song, and many other Sam Smith hits, as he embarks on his ‘The Thrill of It All Tour’ next Summer.

Most music listeners most likely first heard the charming vocals of Sam Smith on Naughty Dog’s “La La La”. This song reached as high as the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 back in 2013. Since then, Smith has continued to keep the momentum in his favor, topping the charts with hits like “I’m Not The Only One” and “Stay With Me”. The Londoner even won Best Original Song at the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards for his song “Writing’s on the Wall” that appeared in the latest James Bond Film.

All of these awards have come from the signature Sam Smith sound, complete with his emotional lyrics and touching voice. Chart success and awards certify his catalogue of soul, pop, and R&B style music, as stadium-ready anthems that are sure to have everyone in the crowd singing their hearts out.
