Sam Smith

“Too Good At Goodbyes”

(Single Review)

“I’m never gonna let you close to me, even though you mean the most to me ’cause every time I open up it hurts. So I’m never gonna get too close to you, even when I mean the most to you in case you go and leave me in the dirt.”

Sam Smith fans rejoice! He is back, well and truly! Too Good At Goodbyes is the new track from the King of Ballads, British singer Sam Smith. Over the moon would sum up the feeling of a new Sam Smith single perfectly, especially a new Sam Smith single that has been a near two years in the making. Finishing his last tour in December of 2015, Sam made a pledge to fans and himself to take some time for himself after touring for so long, write new music and come back better than ever and he has truly delivered and more with a new attitude; incredibly humble as always, a new look and a new track in Too Good At Goodbyes.

Sticking to what he knows best in a good heartbreak ballad, Too Good At Goodbyes is a three and a half minute track which talks about getting good at being broken up with after being dumped multiple times. The official audio track on Sam Smith’s YouTube has already racked up two and a half million views and is currently trending at number 17; launching itself to number one on the US iTunes sales charts within 24 hours of its release and debuting at number one on the UK, US and Aussie iTunes charts.

“Every time you hurt me, the less that I cry and every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry. And every time you walk out, the less I love you. Baby, we don’t stand a chance, it’s sad but it’s true; I’m way to good at goodbyes.”

As always, the song features Sam Smith’s incredible vocals at the forefront; his signature heavenly falsetto backed by a beautiful choir within the chorus. Accompanied by a piano led melody, Too Good At Goodbyes is a signature Sam Smith ballad that I’m sure hits home with absolute relevance for many.

Welcome back Sam Smith! I can see this track’s name in lights already, with a place on the top 10 charts around the world! If this is just a preview of what is to come, then I will sit here with baited breath; edgy but beyond excited for what Sam Smith is about to release to the world. Fans, old and new get ready… It’s going to be incredible.

Too Good At Goodbyes, Sam Smith. What a hit. Go check it out!
