This time last year, nobody at the Grammys knew who Sam Smith was. But at this year’s Grammy Awards ceremony, the British singer and songwriter took home not one, not two, not three, but FOUR Grammy awards.
The 22-year-old bagged four out of the six awards he was nominated for — Best New Artist, Song of the Year and Record of the Year for Stay with Me, and Best Pop Vocal Album for In the Lonely Hour.

Smith, who recently came out of the closet, had earlier said his heartbreak song Stay With Me was inspired by a crush he had on a straight man.
During his acceptance speech, he said: “I want to thank the man this record is about… for breaking my heart because you got me four Grammys.” The former object of Sam’s affection must be somewhere screaming, “I want half.”
Folomojo brings you Smith’s best tracks. Enjoy!
