Less interesting than Adele/Emeli Sandé, amirite?

serious contender for most overrated debut of the decade
also nominating Hozier

did anyone actually rate his debut? or hozier's?

(i know they were both grammybait but that barely counts imo)
i'd like to belatedly apologize for starting this thread 3 years ago

hmm maybe just hype, Smith had an RS cover story and Hozier sold almost a million copies though

I hate this guy's voice. It's like a more boring Justin Vernon.

Hozier by some distance better than this polished nothing

Is there a good reason this guy is being given one hours worth of primetime on BBC1 to plug his latest album? Licence Fee anyone?

If you had started the thread like that we could all just have gone home.
Was a good read, though.

I thought I liked "Money On My Mind" but have checked it out again and the only good bits are when he isn't singing.
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 10 November 2017 10:14 (six years ago) link
the bits where he whispers that he doesn't have: and that he does it for the love ?
Still, he's appealing to the people that like to sing loud songs about loving Money.

No, the instrumental coda only.

It was on my top 50 tracks from the year, no idea why now, faintly embarrassing.
