He caught some flack for his anti-Tinder and Grindr statements, but we have to agree that apps can be less than romantic at times. Smith told reporters that he felt old-fashioned courting was the most effective road to love.
“No offense to people who go on Tinder, but I just feel like it’s ruining romance, I really do.”
Listeners treasure the beauty in his heartbreak, too, judging by fan reactions to the album. There was poetry in just his explanation of “In the Lonely Hour” to Teen Vogue, let alone the music itself. There’s a reason Smith is so successful: The man just has a way with words. “On the record, you can hear heartbreak, and there’s a beauty in that I will always treasure.” The information resounded with fans, because who hasn’t had feelings about someone who didn’t feel the same? Who hasn’t feared that they would never find love? The singer revealed to Digital Spy in 2014 that his smash hit album was inspired by his unrequited love for a straight man.
“I fell in love with someone who didn’t love me back and it made me get into this headspace of, ‘Will I find a man to love? When will I find love?'”
