There’s never been a closet”

Two of music’s most gifted talents, Sam Smith and John Legend, have joined forces for an awesome cause.

Moments ago, a new Legend assisted version of ‘Lay Me Down’ – from Smith’s debut album ‘In The Lonely Hour’ – was released as the official Red Nose Day single in the UK.

Hosted every two years, the major fundraiser launches a nationwide drive for donations to help end poverty in Africa and picks a song to assist its cause. With all revenue from the single’s sales  going towards the campaign (which also raises money with sales of small red “noses”), the chosen track is often at the receiving end of major exposure. Put simply, it’s a great look for all involved.
