I went in with Timbaland just to kind of play him music and talk about stuff, but he was doing the [Justin] Timberlake and Jay Z albums at that time, so we didn’t get to make music. So I’d like to go in with him in the future.

Every single song is revealing, I said way too much. I’ve had this realization the other week when I was driving around London [and] there’s pictures of my face everywhere with the word Lonely underneath. I kind of realized I’e really really opened myself up on this record.

I’ve been a huge, huge fan of his. I love his music, I love his album, so I covered his song and he saw it. And then he got in contact, and we were like, ‘We should write together, we should do something together.’ And then we ended up playing the same show at the Hollywood Bowl, so were like we have to do the song together. I was really really exited and super honored to do that with him because he’s just so talented.

They’re all 20-year-olds. And it’s so cool to see animated characters grow up. I don’t think that’s happened before. Astrid is an awesome character. It’s just so great to see a female character in the middle of the action. I think that’s what we’re ready for. We’re sick of seeing girls sitting on the sidelines looking pretty and taking about boys. We’re ready for girls who kick butt!

Sam Smith interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Smith during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about the meaning behind the song Stay With Me.

I think unlike a lot of men in the industry and in music, I’m willing to show that emotional side. That song is about the morning after a one-night stand and how you don’t want that person to leave even if you don’t fancy them, which I think everyone can relate to.
