Money On My Mind

Sam Smith, The Lonely Hour

Recently, one of my favorite artist just came out with his debut album titled The Lonely Hour. The thing that amazes the most about this album, is how well written it actually is. The artist, Sam Smith, talked about how he never actually struggled with the problems he writes about in his lyrics, and that these are actually the struggles of his friends. For someone to be able to take the problems of his peers and flawlessly transcribe them into a top charting album blatantly amazes me. This man is talented; And this album is indeed the perfect post-breakup, pre-breakup, unsure of the relationship, album. It will put you all up in your feelings, and that is no joke. 

The first song I ever heard by Sam Smith was Money on My Mind. Unfortunately, my phone died at that moment, so I couldn't Shazaam it, and no one around knew what the song was. I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that I was at a Greek Event where all the sororities and Fraternities perform dance numbers to mash-ups of different songs. What I mean to say is that i'm at that point in my life where I don't have easy access to the popular fashions and movements. I'm in college, so I hear what my peers hear, nothing more nothing less. Things at school become fashionable by that one brave soul who is willing to make a consistent change, and overtime it catches on right before the movement dies. Luckily, this particular fraternity had some rather ambitious brothers who were ahead of the music game; And I thank them! Anyways, when I came across this song it happened to speak volumes to me, and then I lost it, just like that. So my Godsend of roommate made it her mission to find this rather addicting and positively infectious song, and after about a week of non-stop searching we found it, and played it, and out played the poor song. Our friends refused to come to our room unless we played another song, or something that was just as addictive, but just not that particular song. 

So we did a little digging and came across the song LaLaLa by Naughty Boy featuring Sam Smith, and this song was the game changer. We no longer obsessed over Money On My Mind, I can tell you that! At the risk of boring you any further I would like to introduce, or reintroduce, LaLaLa and Money On My Mind!
