Sam Smith's debut studio album In The Lonely Hour was released on 26th May.

In an interview, Sam discloses that the album is about a guy he fell in love with last year who didn't love him back.

"I've never been in a relationship before," he said. "I've only been in unrequited relationships where people haven't loved me back."

Well it's their loss now, definitely.

P.S. Adele wrote her songs based on her break-ups. See the link??? He's gonna make it big like her too.

He said in a interview, “I am comfortable with myself, and my life is amazing in that respect... I’ve been treated as normal as anyone in my life; I’ve had no issues. I do know that some people have issues in life, but I haven’t, and it’s as normal as my right arm. I want to make it a normality because this is a non-issue. People wouldn’t ask a straight person these questions.”

And so far, most people can't care less (in a good way) -- because good music is good music. Period.

Sam also collaborated with Mary J. Blige in a live performance of his hit "Stay With Me":
