We were one of the few lucky enough to meet Smith in his Toronto visit earlier this year. More on that here.

The parallels are there certainly, both being crowned with the distinction of the BRIT Awards Critics' Choice and also the BBC Sound of 2014 Awards (Adele won in 2008).
The soulful Crooner quickly ...
