Sam Smith

Ready to celebrate his crossover success, British-born singer Sam Smith hit one of America's music-making headquarters to kick off his five-month tour, bringing hundreds of fans together at the Apollo Theater in New York's famed Harlem neighborhood.

Sam Smith and Mary J. Blige join forces in the video for the U.K. singer's ballad 'Stay With Me.'

Since breaking onto the music scene as a featured vocalist on Disclosure's 'Latch,' Sam Smith has been making huge strides. With his debut LP, 'In the Lonely Hour,' releasing this week, at only 22, this British R&B singer has mended broken hearts and crafted an album that grabs fans the way Adele's '22' did a few years ago.

Have you ever fallen for someone who just didn't feel the same way? British breakout star Sam Smith puts all those feelings into song and shows us just how heartbreaking it can be in his new video for 'Stay With Me.'

Don't look now but UK artists are changing the face of American hip-hop, pop and R&B.
