'I'm Not the Only One' Music Video by Sam Smith

Sam Smith has had chart-topping worldwide success with his debut album In the Lonely Hour, one of the most impressive releases of the year. This soulful British crooner recently came out as gay, making him an icon in the LGBT community, and ultimately showing just how transcendent his music his.

The fourth single off his debut album is the bluesy 'I'm Not the Only One'. His ballad 'Stay With Me' is ruling airwaves, but 'Only One' has a more laid back R&B vibe to it, very Mary J., so it offers yet another peak into his already diverse body of work.

The video was just released today, and sees Dianna Agron of Glee fame as the other woman in a troubled marriage. First off, she looks stunning, running mascara and all. Diana finds out about her husband's affair and in an embittered rage buys lighter fluid and makes a bonfire from her husband's luxurious suits. But in the end she welcomes him home with a smile.

It's a beautifully executed video for one of Smith's best songs. Is there an end in sight to his blossoming career? I sure hope not. We need more powerful male vocals in the pop music industry.
