Smith’s voice was filled with a rare authenticity, clearly heard in the frank and honest lyrics of Burning which was accompanied by full choir, and Palace, which he wrote after imagining his heart as a palace of rooms filled with memories.

Sam Smith’s much awaited return to the limelight, taking to the intimate stage of The Tanks at The Tate Modern, was everything that one could have hoped for: a soulful, heartfelt, and simply breathtaking performance to celebrate the release of his highly anticipated new album, The Thrill of It All.
