Background

[edit]

It was announced on 16 December 2013 that Smith's debut studio album would be released on 26 May 2014 throughCapitol Records.[5]On 7 January 2014, Smith unveiled the artwork and track listing for the album. The standard edition of the album contains ten tracks, including the singles "Lay Me Down"and"Money on My Mind".[6]

In an interview withDigital Spy,Smith described the overarching theme of their album as "sad". Talking about the name of the album they said: "People are saying, 'Oh but it's too sad', but that's what it's about. I was sad, heartbroken, and I wrote about being sad. Hopefully I'll be happier soon and I'll write about that."[7]Smith also said in an interview with The Line of Best Fit that the most personal song in this album is "Good Thing".[8]

In another interview with Digital Spy, when asked to describe the album, they said: "My debut album is just a diary from a lonely 21-year-old. That's what it is. It was my way of talking about the only real issue in my life. I don't have that many sad things going on in my life and it was the only thing that was really affecting me last year: I fell in love with someone who didn't love me back, and it made me get into this head space of, 'Will I find a man to love? When will I find love?' This album is my 'fuck off' to everyone and basically say, 'No, I have been in love with a man and, if anything, it was much more painful than your version', because I'm not getting what I want with a man and it's so close I can almost taste him. So, it's my way of defining what is love, and how unrequited love is just as painful, just as powerful, as what we call 'normal' love."[9]

In the Lonely Hourreceived generally lukewarm reviews from critics.[25]AtMetacritic,which assigns anormalisedrating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received anaveragescore of 62, based 24 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[14]InThe Observer,Kitty Empireappreciated how restrained and emotionally authentic Smith's singing sounds, crediting them for avoiding any exaggeratedbelting,although she lamented the music's lack of adventurousness.[19]Lily Moayeri fromThe A.V. Clubfelt most of the songs are monotonous and lack depth, writing that they are instead showcases for Smith's "rich" voice on an album that is not as good as its singles.[26]Qwas more critical, especially of the album's second half, writing that it "declines into self-pity, windy balladry and squeaky-strings-as-authenticity cliché",[21]while Helen Brown ofThe Daily Telegraphwas unimpressed by most of the songwriting and the music, calling it a watered-down version ofsoul.[16]

Robert Christgauwas more enthusiastic in his blog forVice,writing that Smith's charmingly catchypopsongs cohere into a portrait of a man whose insecurity about love is expressed more sincerely than most other artists without indulging in self-pity: "Both vocally and verbally, they offer the kind of emotional complexity about sexual romance's ins and outs that good pop captures better than good literature, where cynicism is such a folkway."[24]Lauren Murphy fromThe Irish Timeswas impressed by the variety in which Smith and their producers use their voice throughoutIn the Lonely Hour,which she viewed as a sign of promise with songs "so understated yet so vibrant and accomplished".[18]

In the Lonely Hourappeared in many critics' lists of best albums of 2014, including those ofDigital Spy,[27]The Daily Telegraph,[28]Time Out[29]andHuffPost.[30]
