Smith’s single off of the soundtrack to Netflix’s miniseries adaptation of Watership Down, “Fire on Fire,” feels just a tad out of place on Love Goes. In short, it’s a lovely, if not forgettable, rendition. It’s classic Sam Smith subtle pianos and strings accompanying their powerhouse voice as they sing about the pain of losing out on love. Though Celine Dion may have released her rendition of “For the Lover That I Lost” first on 2019’s Courage, Smith flexes their co-writing credit on the track with their own version of the track.

That being said, the song is nothing terribly new - the beat and melody sound a bit old hat, and the song sounds like one added to fill out the album’s 57-minute runtime. Hearing Smith tackle their anxiety and depression is a welcome change of pace, and opening line “Put your hands in the air/ If you sometimes ever get sad like me” is just cheesy enough that it almost becomes endearing. The lyrical content of “So Serious” sees Smith taking a break from singing about heartbreak, which is a welcome change on an album filled with songs about that exact emotion. From deep house tracks to crowd-pleasing dance-pop songs, Love Goes sees Smith offering more variety than ever before in their career.īut which songs reign supreme on the star’s new album?
