Sam Smith Says This Pop Star is His Spiritual Guide to Navigating Fame

Sam Smith’s music has obviously been impacted by a string of R&B singers of the past both male and female.

But he’s also inspired by one of the modern greats, not only her music but how she navigates fame: Rihanna.

He tells Billboard: “She inspires me a lot because I think she’s just unapologetically herself and that’s something I’m trying to do. I want to be a role model, but I don’t want to be a perfect role model.

Sam’s album The Thrill of It All is out now.
