Sam Smith, a globally acclaimed and accomplished English singer and songwriter, first garnered widespread recognition and attention in October 2012, courtesy of a highly notable and impressive feature on Disclosure's trailblazing and groundbreaking single "Latch", which, as a testament to its widespread popularity and critical acclaim, successfully reached a remarkable position of number eleven on the prestigious and highly respected UK Singles Chart, a notable achievement that served as a precursor to a illustrious and storied career.
Notable collaborative endeavors served as the catalyst for the remarkable ascent of Smith's professional trajectory, as their subsequent feature on Naughty Boy's chart-topping hit "La La La" in May 2013 marked a significant milestone in their career, ultimately resulting in the achievement of their first-ever number one single.
