That high lonesome sound is an old bluegrass term, but it ought to be co-opted for Sam Smith.

The Thrill of It All is the second studio album by English singer and songwriter Sam Smith. On 6 October 2017, Smith announced via Twitter that his second album, titled "The Thrill of It All", was to be released on 3 November 2017. It is Smith's second full album of material after his hugely successful debut album In the Lonely Hour (2014), which has sold 12 million copies worldwide.

Sam Smith's breakout moment as a deep house don on Disclosure's "Latch," arguably the sexiest club banger of 2012, was a feint. Sure, dude could sing. Where Lonely Hour led with beats, Thrill of It All opens on lonely piano chords and Smith’s whispering high tenor, which sweeps up to falsetto on the pre-chorus, soon echoed by a choir and handclaps. The song, Too Good at Goodbyes, has gotten over 120 million YouTube plays since its release as a single, and establishes the ruling formula for album, one which Smith laid out on his biggest hit Stay With Me – an aching lover pleading with a paramour against slow-building gospel-pop rapture

Thrill is Smith's follow-up to his 2014 debut album In The Lonely Hour, which saw him burst into the international spotlight, top charts around the globe (it peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200) and collect a stack of awards. Listen in full below.
