Sam Smith dropped by BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac show to talk about the release of “In the Lonely Hour (Drowning Shadows Edition),” an expanded version of his 2014 debut. One of the “new” songs on the re-release is a cover of Amy Winehouse's “Love is a Losing Game,” which Mac played to intro the segment.
