Sam Smith wins 4 Grammys; Beck is dark horse victor of album award
Show presented a mix of old songs and new faces, and also gave sombre nods to the issues of domestic abuse and the threat against civil rights
Los Angeles
THE 57th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday were a mixture of old songs, new faces and upsets, as Sam Smith, a 22-year-old British singer barely known to American audiences a year ago, won three of the top four prizes, and Beck became the dark-horse victor of album of the year.
Smith took best new artist as well as both record and song of the year for "Stay With Me", a moody, lovelorn ballad that became a smash on pop radio stations.
