Review

Love Goes is a solid Sam Smith album that I enjoyed as a casual fan who’s been listening since In the Lonely Hour. I’ve always appreciated Sam’s voice and emotional songwriting, and this album shows a more upbeat, pop-focused side of them. Songs like “Diamonds,” “Kids Again,” and “Forgive Myself” are some of my current favorites. It’s not my favorite Sam project, but it’s an enjoyable album that shows how much their sound has evolved since their debut.
