Sam Smith evolves with a new R&B song titled “How Do You Sleep?”
The song is characterised by a hypnotic, bop beat and rhythm perfect to dance to. The melody has features of Sam’s style, notably moving up and down the octaves, showcasing Sam’s vocal range and the distinctive timbre of his voice.
The lyric, however, is of heartache and resentment — a story typical of Sam Smith. He has said nothing about this, leaving listeners to speculate as to whether it is autobiographical or not.
