         <description><![CDATA[<p>Sam Smith's body image attracted many critics and attention, which  revealed complexities surrounding their public persona. While many supporters commend Smith's public  journey as a powerful statement of self-love and body positivity,  critics, on the other hand, suggest it is glorifying an unhealthy lifestyle. This represents a duality in perception and influences more layers to Smith's evolving public persona, and while they did put on body weight contributes to ongoing societal debate about body standards and image. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>In The Lonely Hour Album 2014</p><p><br/></p><p>The album continues to express devastation in search for meaningful love, abhorring deceitful unfaithfulness but equally expressing a willingness to stay in relationships knowing there is disloyalty and chaos ravishing their peace of mind and soul. Sam speaks they would still stay in a relationship knowing their partner is having an affair, but argues that their spiritually tortured personalities actually make them a perfect match, “We both have demons that we can’t stand/I love your demons, like devils can” entrapping themself in unhealthy relationships. This will reinforce ongoing emotional abuse and pain, betrayal and loss of trust. One perspective can be seen in the fact they unapologetically express their deep sadness and their acceptance of aspects that cause them sadness as a cry for help. Perhaps their continuous myriad of low emotions are a way of them screaming for help. Even though their audience is listening and resonating with their music, they are sound deaf because who has returned his effort to help them through their demons. </p><p><br/></p><p>Their album and much of their music echo the fear of loneliness, so acceptance of anything lower than what Sam would want in their life is reluctantly welcomed.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Sam Smith has had a spiral of personal issues showing  dependency, emotional distress, anxiety, feelings of insecurity and depression but has nonetheless withstood their inner demons and celebrated the choices they have made in their life. They have become an inspiration for people who resonate with them. Their challenges has helped people overcome theirs and are celebrated among diverse communities contributing to Pride and Music. It is apparent that their trauma during different stages of their life has manifested emotionally, mentally, and psychologically that can lead to long-term damage to their well-being and overall quality of life. Thus, he has a talent for connecting to their wider audience through their soulful music and anyone who has been on similar life journeys can easily connect with their personal life journey and music and  likely relate to the forlorn feelings Smith invokes. </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The theme of desperation becomes more apparent in this album. Their search for love and not a mere one-night stand is only a temporary fix to his unhappiness “Guess it’s true, I’m not very good at a one-night stand/ … This ain’t love, it’s clear to see/But darling, stay with me/ …'</p><p><br></p><p>The words and the lyrics they used were to convey their inner deep feelings, representing their state of mind during this time. Their album did just this! Sam articulated their emotions and sense of insecurity by loving someone who did not love them back, confirming this 'in the lonely hour.' speaking with <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://thefader.com">thefader.com</a> that this song was explicit about the man who didn't love him back, in their words, It’s about a guy and that’s what I wanted people to know—I want to be clear that that’s what it’s about.”</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Teaming up with Disclosure for a second time, Smith approached this song with a soulful and meaningful powerful presence, asking "Can I lay by your side, next to you, and make sure you're alright?" Their impressive vocals rooted more towards traditional American soul and gospel music and emphasising romance and love that sounds equally spiritual.  </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The album further echoes a sense of loss, suggesting Sam has lowered their standards and is engaging in an unhealthy thought pattern, a diminished sense of self-esteem, distracting themself from their self-worth, and they are worthy of true love who will offer them what they deeply desire, someone who will put them first and love them as they want to be loved, “I will give you all of me/Just leave your lover, leave him for me.' This portrays their state of mind and desperation even though it will cost them their happiness, and inner security and peace. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>During the pandemic of coronavirus 2020, Sam Smith changed the name 3rd album, excluding the word  'die' during the pandemic due to countless lives that were lost. They felt it was insensitive to name their album the original title. This expressed compassion and presented a different Sam that is outgrowing their internal struggles as highlighted in their previous albums rather they are expressing a mature version of themself that the audience can connect with. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Sam Smiths albums address Pride in sexuality, sexual orientation and gender identity, followed by much sadness about being unlucky in love and personal experience about love and rejection. Only one song 'Money on My Mind,' from their album didn't address their underlying insecurity and blatant sadness was relating to their love for music, that it is not driven by money or fame, rather love for music, </strong>“I don’t have/Money on my mind/Money on my mind/I do it for/I do it for the love”.</p>]]></description>
