Sam Smith
“Nirvana”
Nirvana EP (out late summer on PMR)
While most only know him for his star-turning performance on Disclosure’s mega-jam “Latch,” the Hertfordshire-native has been lending his smooth vocals to a number of excellent nu-deep house / future garage singles for most of 2013. His latest track, “Nirvana,” is more of a classic soul jam, as the 21 year-old gets his ladykiller on over a slinky guitar line and a cascading melody. Prince’s influence on pop music has never been greater, and this is yet another example on the Purple one’s continuing reign.
