Sam Smith (Cantante) Cantante Y Compositor Británico Sam Smith (cantante) Cantante y compositor británico Samuel Frederick Smith (Londres, 19 de mayo de 1992), más conocido como Sam Smith, es un cantante y compositor británico. Nacido en Londres, creció en una localidad rural de Inglaterra; empezó a asistir a clases de canto con ocho años, participando al mismo tiempo en obras de teatro musical.[2] A lo largo de su adolescencia, varios representantes artísticos intentaron lanzar su carrera, pero sin resultados.[2] A los dieciocho años, inspirado por la historia de Lady Gaga, se mudó a Londres para enfocarse en su carrera musical. En octubre de 2012, saltó a la fama cuando apareció en el sencillo «Latch» de Disclosure, que alcanzó el puesto número 11 en la lista de sencillos británica. Su siguiente colaboración, «La La La» de Naughty Boy, tuvo aun mayor éxito y se situó en el puesto número 1 de la lista de sencillos británica a inicios de 2013.[2] [3] Posteriormente, Steve Barnett de Capitol Records, impresionado por su voz durante un concierto, le ofreció un contrato discográfico.[3] Sam Smith Sam Smith en Berlín en 2015.

Ambos temas entraron en el puesto número 1 del listado de sencillos de Reino Unido; el segundo de ellos supuso su entrada en el mercado musical estadounidense e ingresó en la posición 2 del Billboard Hot 100.[5] Smith recibió buenas críticas, sobre todo por su destreza vocal.[6] En la 57.ª edición de los Premios Grammy obtuvo los galardones a mejor artista nuevo, canción del año, grabación del año y mejor álbum de pop vocal.[7] Por otro lado, en los Premios Brit de 2015 ganó los premios artista revelación británico y éxito global gracias a sus ventas internacionales.[8] En 2016 Smith recibió el Globo de Oro y el Óscar a la mejor canción original por el tema «Writing's on the Wall», de la película Spectre.[9] [10] Ha vendido más de 8.5 millones de álbumes a nivel mundial.[11] Carrera musical Comienzos y revelación Durante su infancia y adolescencia asistió a ensayos de teatro musical, y conformó bandas de jazz, combinación que «no solo le enseñó la disciplina y la técnica para aprovechar y controlar su voz, sino también empujar su rango vocal hasta el límite». Él también sostiene que «tenía pasión por la música pop».[2] [4] A los ocho años, comenzó a tomar clases de canto y a componer canciones con una cantante de jazz de su localidad llamada Joanna Edén, después de que sus padres lo oyeran cantar una canción de Whitney Houston cuando lo llevaban a la escuela.[4] [2] Su instructora de canto solía llevarlo a un club donde ella cantaba para que la acompañara en los coros.[2] [12] A los once años, se compró un amplificador y utilizaba un pequeño invernadero en su casa, al que se accedía por unos escalones, como escenario improvisado; Smith cantaba a petición de su madre en las cenas para sus amigos y socios.[2] Desde los doce años, tuvo seis representantes artísticos diferentes, quienes alentaban ilusiones de fama que no llegaron a realizarse.[2] En 2008, fue telonero del concierto de Adele en el Shepherd’s Bush Empire y conoció a Elvin Smith, quien posteriormente sería uno de sus mánagers.[3] Al año siguiente, su madre perdió el empleo porque la compañía para la que trabajaba consideró que perdía demasiado tiempo administrando la carrera musical de su hijo.[13] Con el fin de perseguir una carrera musical, y motivado por la historia de Lady Gaga, se mudó a Londres a los dieciocho años,[2] [14] y trabajó como camarero en varios bares de la ciudad por dos años.[4] A finales de 2012, aún sin firmar un contrato discográfico, Smith conoció al dúo Disclosure mientras coescribía «Lay Me Down» junto con su mánager Elvin Smith y Jimmy Napes. A aquellos les encantó el tema, y como estaban trabajando en su álbum debut, le invitaron a colaborar en la composición de «Latch» para la cual además prestó su voz.[4] [3] [2] Tras su lanzamiento en octubre de 2012 ingresó en la posición 11 de la lista de popularidad de sencillos británica y supuso el inicio de su carrera musical.[3] [2] «Lay Me Down» se puso en venta en febrero de 2013 [4] [3] y llamó la atención tanto de la crítica nacional como extranjera por la sinceridad en su composición y por la sonoridad de la voz de Smith.[4] Según Emily Tan, reportera de The Line Of Best Fit, Smith «rápidamente demostró que iba por buen camino para ser la próxima gran estrella».[4] Nick Raphael y Jo Charrington, empleados de London Records admiraban su talento vocal y le propusieron un contrato por dos meses; al respecto, Raphael comentó que recordaba «haber escuchado “Latch” y pensando, “Ninguna persona puede abarcar tantos rangos vocales a la vez sin pasar por una computadora”», por su parte, Charrington agregó que «nunca habíamos oído una voz igual en nuestros veinte años de trabajo juntos».[3] Smith también participó como vocalista en «La La La» de Naughty Boy.[3] El tema se convirtió en otro éxito comercial e ingresó a la posición 1 de la lista de sencillos británica,[15] [2] y demostró que el triunfo con «Latch» «no fue una casualidad».[3] Al culminar 2013, el tema figuró como el más vendido del año en el Reino Unido; sin embargo, Andrew Hampp, de Billboard, sostuvo que Smith seguía siendo «un misterio», ya que no aparecía en ningún videoclip.[3] En 2013 Smith lanzó su primer extended play (EP), Nirvana, que consta de cuatro canciones. La primera, titulada «Safe with Me», fue producida por Two Inch Punch y se estrenó en el espectáculo BBC Radio 1Xtra de MistaJam el 24 de julio de 2013.[16] El segundo tema del EP fue producido por Craze & Hoax y Jonathan Creek; la cantautora Adele promovió la canción a través de Twitter, calificándola como «muy muy buena». [17] El extended play también incluye una versión acústica en solitario de «Latch» y una versión en vivo de «I've Told You Now».[18] A finales de noviembre de 2013, se llevó a cabo el lanzamiento de «Together», un tema de Disclosure en que Smith colaboró junto con Nile Rodgers y Jimmy Napes.[19] En los premios Mobo de 2013, fue nominado como Mejor Artista Revelación, y «La La La», tema en el que colaboró con Naughty Boy, recibió los galardones a la mejor canción y mejor vídeo.[20] Smith fue descubierto en un club en el oeste de Londres por Steve Barnett, un empleado de Capitol Records, quien le ofreció un contrato discográfico con el sello en 2013. Según el empresario, asistió a un concierto que el artista realizó en marzo del mismo año y, notando su destreza vocal, les envió un mensaje de texto a sus socios donde comentó que estaba «viendo a alguien que podría cambiar el futuro de [Capitol]».[3] Éxito internacional con In the Lonely Hour y «Writing's on the Wall» (2014-16) A pesar de haber iniciado su carrera entre el 2012 y el 2013, Smith no empezó a ser ampliamente reconocido hasta febrero de 2014, cuando el videoclip de su segundo sencillo, «Money on My Mind», dio a conocer su cara y su propia identidad como solista.[3] Tanto fue su éxito con sus dos primeras colaboraciones, que incluso antes del lanzamiento de su álbum de estudio debut, llamó la atención de los críticos y del público británico al ganar la encuesta de Sound of 2014 realizada por la BBC. Al mismo tiempo, recibió el premio a la elección de los críticos en los Premios Brit de 2014.[4] Para crear interés entre el público norteamericano, su sello lo presentó en la 56.ª edición de los premios Grammy.[3] El 20 de enero de 2014 Smith hizo su debut en la televisión estadounidense con «Latch» de Disclosure en Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.[3] También interpretó «Stay with Me» y una versión acústica de «Lay Me Down» en Saturday Night Live a finales de marzo, que conquistó plenamente a la audiencia.[3] Además, contó con la promoción de las cadenas MTV y VH1 al aparecer en sus comerciales de televisión como el «artista para vigilar» y el «artista que deberías conocer», respectivamente.[3] Durante el 2014 Smith fue constantemente comparado con la cantante Adele. Su álbum debut, titulado In the Lonely Hour fue puesto en venta en los mercados musicales británicos el 26 de mayo de 2014 a través del sello discográfico Capitol Records. El contenido mezcla los géneros pop, soul y R&B, y está inspirado en un amor no correspondido.[4] In the Lonely Hour alcanzó la número 1 en la lista de álbumes británica y la número 2 en la lista de popularidad estadounidense Billboard 200.[21] [22] En general, recibió revisiones favorables de parte de los críticos.

  • Download Askylite Drive Album Wires… and the Concept of Breathing
    download askylite drive album Wires… and the Concept of Breathing. Post-hardcore outfit A Skylit Drive followed up their debut EP with the full-length WIRES & THE CONCEPT OF BREATHING in 2008. A Skylit Drive mix emo, screamo, and punk/metal sonics for a concoction that is half melodic, half noise assault. Singer Michael Jagmin switches between growls, screams, and clean singing, while the rest of the band creates a thunderous backing full of chugging riffs and battering-ram rhythms. WIRES doesn’t quite rewrite the post-hardcore rulebook, but it is a solid effort from a band that should appeal to fans of Chiodos and Taking Back Sunday. A Skylit Drive Rise (Ascension) In the spirit of moving forward and sticking to our word of a big announcement coming, we have a couple of things in store. First things first, we will be releasing a full length acoustic album in January of 2015. For the album we have recreated our most recent record "RISE" in its entirety in FULL acoustic. The album will be called "RISE: ASCENSION". Please check out the announcement video for full details & pre order specials. Second, we have already begun writing for a new record set to release in the Summer of 2015! Lastly, expect to see us back on the road in early 2015. We can't be stopped! Video. Pre orders. Pre orders are to be made available in due time. According to Jag the lead single will be Pendulum. Track list (Standard): So far the only known song to be on the CD is - 1, Pendulum.
