British singer-songwriter that his new single “Leave Your Lover” is about “a guy that I fell in love with last year, and he didn’t love me back.”
Smith, who became famous for his part in ’s 2012 single “Latch” and Naughty Boy’s 2013 hit “La La La,” assures fans that the music on his new album will reach a broad audience and is meant “to be about anything and everybody – whether itap a guy, a female or a goat.” The song is from his forthcoming album “Lonely Hour.”
The new video is a beautiful tale of heartache and the pangs that run through us all when we beg for someone we know we just can’t have. When asked about the album being mostly about the man he fell in love with, Smith said “I feel almost like I signed off this part of my life where I keep giving myself to guys who are never going to love me back.”
When a celebrity comes out, they often encounter ridiculous and sometimes painful backlash, but Smith isn’t concerned. “People say I’m the new Adele. Why is a talking point? I’m singing, I’m making music, I’m performing my music—thatap what should be the talking point.”
