Sam Smith

Profile

Available for over a year

Mark Coles profiles Sam Smith who, it's just been announced, will write and perform the next Bond theme. Smith has rapidly become one of Britain's most successful musical exports - a four-time Grammy-winner who's been number one on both sides of the Atlantic. His music has been described as "safe" - even "boy-band soul lite" - but his chosen subject matter can be more challenging. His 2014 album 'In the Lonely Hour', a huge commercial success, is about unrequited gay love. Producer: Ben Carter
