    The Thrill of It All deepens Sam Smith's torch-singer franchise with gospel weight: "Too Good at Goodbyes" runs the heartbreak formula at peak efficiency, and "Pray"'s Timbaland pulse hints at risks mostly deferred. The voice remains one of pop's great instruments; the material remains carefully one octave below its potential.
