Sam Smith "Love Goes" - What happened?

[ChrisXpFabulous]

It's one thing being part of the LGBTQ community (as i am) and just be supportive of it and help people around through ur craft, and another thing being nothing more than an LGBTQ person who happened to release an album... 

I'm ok with everyone's ***uality but we are all a lot more than what our ***ual identity defines... 

[Godney'sSweetCheeks]

THEIR voice is awful. So winey and annoying. Can't believe THEY ever did well to start with. And the pronouns thing is silly imo. I can't say it as it would be offensive, as would he or she urgh screw you 2020.

[Cheshire-B]

the last album is annoying and single choice was not great so... 

hope for them that they do better next time

[Ofcoursenot]

He started being annoying tbh, and then the collab with Demi .......

[Brat]

He had a huge female fan base before,  he made some “choices” and kind of ruined the sweet image he had before 

[Fenixxx123]

I think people really liked Diamonds

[Thecodeman25]

They should have released the album right after How do you sleep.  Too many damn singles before an album that changed concepts and faced multiple delays gets released with zero American promo. Sam lost steam and some likability from the straights AND gays. Sam also said multiple times they were going full pop dance and I was SOOOO bored listening to the album. And that song with Demi...

[FemmeFataleBrit]

He overexposed himself through social media. I feel like the Lewis Capaldi fellow will be the new Sam Smith. He had a male Adele image: a soft, semi-broken image with emotional songs to go with it. 
 

Honestly, people just get tired of artists some times. It has nothing to do with their behaviour or their songs. When his first album came out, he was everywhere. Haven’t heard from him since.

[MyLittlePopstar]

Wow... people on here really seem to have a problem with them being non binary. It’s kinda sad to see, why does it bother ppl so much to use the pronoun someone prefers? 
 

I actually really like the album, but I think it lost steam. It would have been better to release it following dancing with a stranger and how do you sleep, but those came out so long ago. It’s also weird because it seemed like the whole album would be a dance album based on dwas, hdys, I’m ready, and diamonds, but then the majority of the album still ended up being ballads

and midtempos again. It’s still good, just feels a bit all over the place. I also think love goes is the worst song on the album lol. 

 

I also think there gave been so many albums that came out this year, it’s kinda been hard to enjoy them all. Arianas album came out the same day and kinda overshadowed love goes (though I think love goes is much better). Plus Kylie, Little Mix, and now Miley. Plus great albums this year from Gaga, Dua, Taylor, and Ava Max- there been a lot of competition for pop lovers to listen to. 

[HeavenOnHell]

I dont mind him being gay but i cringe seeing him dancing like that...

It’s not that anyone has a problem with non-binary, it’s the fact that Sam smith was annoying about it.

Same here. It's my belief that you should be able to somewhat dance if you are gonna dance in videos or do choreo.

Should’ve stayed humble instead of this new diva persona it has adopted for itself as of late.

Omg, yes, i mean he was called the male Adele at one point in his career.

I honestly think people (including me) were expecing more up-tempo dance songs in the vein of Promises, Dancing with a Stranger, How Do You Sleep? and I Feel Love. 

Instead, they gave us a lot of mid-tempos / ballads and the few “dance” ones were not as dancy as the others. 

A huge letdown when listening to the record. 

This.  I feel the exact same way.

They should release the tracks that didn’t make the cut when the album was supposed to be dancey. 

[Giov_a]

He overexposed himself way before the launch. Also all this non binary thing probably made him not appealing to GP - I don't know... but he seems like over using it and not natural. He looks like a drunk lady and it's very annoying.

[Sealed_With_A_Chris]

Yikes, there is some pretty hateful stuff on this. 

It is REALLY hard to be an out LGBTQIA+ artists. I thought we were past seeing this being an issue. I do think that there is only so much the Sis Gendered GP can take, and pronouns are still a pretty new concept and REALLY out there for the GP. I find, a lot of them can understand a trans person needing to be called she in stead of he, and nice versa, but they/them starts to make their minds hurt. In my opnion this goes with the sales:

1. Out Typical Gay White Male

2. FEM Gay White Male

3. FEM Gay White "Them" 

It is just too much for the GP....but Ill always be a fan.  

 

[Paolo94]

I completely missed the popper thing  ... gross I guess?

The album has some bops but the roll-out has been awful. Maybe a lot of fans would love a cleaned up image for the next era, and I don't blame them.
