Background edit

On 6 October 2017, Smith announced via Twitter that their second album, titled "The Thrill of It All", was to be released on 3 November 2017.[9] It is Smith's second full album of material after their hugely successful debut album In the Lonely Hour (2014), which has sold 12 million copies worldwide.

Speaking to Billboard about the album, Smith said:

"I went through, like, this vortex, came out, I feel like I've rebuilt myself as a stronger thing and I'm just gonna go into the vortex again," they say in a preview that features a montage of studio sessions. "I wasn't trying to make a big pop record when I made this album. I was actually just trying to make something personal and like a diary."[10]

Singles edit

"Too Good at Goodbyes" was released as the album's lead single on 8 September 2017. It topped the UK Singles Chart and peaked No. 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[7]

"One Last Song" was sent to radio in the United Kingdom on 3 November 2017, on the day of album release as its second single.[11][12]

On 27 March 2018, Smith announced that "Pray" would serve as the third single, and would feature newly recorded guest vocals from American rapper Logic. The song was released on 29 March 2018.[13]

"Baby, You Make Me Crazy" was released as the fourth single from the album on 29 June 2018.[6]

Promotional singles edit

On 6 October 2017, Smith released "Pray", a gospel-tinged ballad in collaboration with Timbaland, prompted by time spent in Iraq with the charity War Child as a promotional single from the album.[7][14] Another promotional single, "Burning", was released on 27 October 2017.[15]

Tour edit

Within releasing "Pray" as the promotional single on 6 October 2017, The Thrill of It All Tour was announced firstly revealing shows in Europe and North America. It began on 20 March 2018 in Sheffield, England, and concluded on 18 April 2019 in Cape Town, South Africa. In December 2018, Billboard concluded that after 94 shows, Smith grossed $86.1 million and sold 1.07 million tickets on The Thrill of It All Tour.[16] It pushed their career total gross to $102.7 million from 1.4 million tickets sold.[16]

The Thrill of It All received generally positive reviews from music critics. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 72 based on 16 reviews.[18]

Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph gave the album four stars, and was highly positive about it and Smith's vocals, calling them "supernatural" and saying: "The Thrill of It All doesn't just wallow in love's misery, it practically drowns in the stuff. There's not much poetry in lines such as 'real love is never a waste of time' or 'there's no insurance to pay for the damage'. Yet it all hits home, because Smith makes every note sound like a matter of life and death. 'Him' is the album's centrepiece, a gospel drama addressed to a judgmental 'father', insisting on Smith's right to love whom he [sic] chooses. It is a kind of hymn to Him, and as the choir powers up it gains a righteous glory."[20] Andy Gill from The Independent also gave a four-star review, and shared in the positivity about the album, remarking: "Smith's voice remains a thing of wonder throughout".[22]

Will Hermes for Rolling Stone also gave a positive four-star review, and said: "Doubling down on his magnificent, gender-nonconforming voice while pushing his songcraft forward, Smith's second LP knights one of the mightiest, most expressive vocalists of his generation."[26] In another positive review Nick Levine from NME compared Smith to Adele in his review of the album, stating: "Both have become enormously successful by singing emotional ballads that connect with huge numbers of people, and both are understandably reluctant to raise the tempo as a result. But like Adele's 25, this is an undeniably accomplished album that will, deservedly, shift a helluva lot of copies.[23] AllMusic's Andy Kellman was positive too in his three and a half-star review, and opined: "this album maintains a consistency and intensity that places it slightly above the debut."[19]

Some reviews were more negative. Though making it his album of the week and giving it three stars, Alexis Petridis from The Guardian was more mixed in his review, writing: "There's a certain power to "The Thrill of It All" but it could have been a much more potent album if they'd laid off the polish just a little."[2] Kitty Empire from The Observer was less enthusiastic in a more negative two-star review, claiming Smith was "moping by numbers" like Adele, and surmised: "There is little drama here, just plenty of shorthand (sad pianos), a total absence of risk".[24]

came out I feel like I ve rebuilt myself as a stronger thing and I m just gonna go into the vortex again they say in a preview that features a montage of studio sessions I wasn t trying to make a big pop record when I made this album I was actually just trying to make something personal and like a diary 10 Singles edit Too Good at Goodbyes was released as the album s lead single on 8 September

The Thrill of It All received generally positive reviews from music critics On Metacritic which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications the album received an average score of 72 based on 16 reviews 18 Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph gave the album four stars and was highly positive about it and Smith s vocals calling them supernatural and saying The Thrill of It All doesn t just wallow in love s misery it practically drowns in the stuff There s not much poetry in lines such as real love is never a waste of time or there s no insurance to pay for the damage Yet it all hits home because Smith makes every note sound like a matter of life and death Him is the album s centrepiece a gospel drama addressed to a judgmental father insisting on Smith s right to love whom he sic chooses It is a kind of hymn to Him and as the choir powers up it gains a righteous glory 20 Andy Gill from The Independent also gave a four star review and shared in the positivity about the album remarking Smith s voice remains a thing of wonder throughout 22 Will Hermes for Rolling Stone also gave a positive four star review and said Doubling down on his magnificent gender nonconforming voice while pushing his songcraft forward Smith s second LP knights one of the mightiest most expressive vocalists of his generation 26 In another positive review Nick Levine from NME compared Smith to Adele in his review of the album stating Both have become enormously successful by singing emotional ballads that connect with huge numbers of people and both are understandably reluctant to raise the tempo as a result But like Adele s 25 this is an undeniably accomplished album that will deservedly shift a helluva lot of copies 23 AllMusic s Andy Kellman was positive too in his three and a half star review and opined this album maintains a consistency and intensity that places it slightly above the debut 19 Some reviews were more negative Though making it his album of the week and giving it three stars Alexis Petridis from The Guardian was more mixed in his review writing There s a certain power to The Thrill of It All but it could have been a much more potent album if they d laid off the polish just a little 2 Kitty Empire from The Observer was less enthusiastic in a more negative two star review claiming Smith was moping by numbers like Adele and surmised There is little drama here just plenty of shorthand sad pianos a total absence of risk 24 Accolades edit Publication Accolade Rank Ref Rolling Stone 50 Best Albums of 2017 10 28 Melty Best Pop Albums
