We think it’s entirely unnecessary for British singer Sam Smith to have to rope in the talents of Mary J Blige on a new version of his latest single ‘Stay With Me’. The track holds its own quite comfortably and has spent time in the No.1 spot in Britain and in the top ten here in Australia on its own merits.
Where the new edition will do the business, however, and no doubt where it’s designed to do so is in the United States where Sam’s an unknown, but Mary’s virtually a household name.
With so much soul, so much feeling and lashings of gospel influences, expect ‘Stay With Me’ to go down an absolute treat Stateside, with or without Mary’s vocal assistance.
