According to reports, Sam Smith is suing his former record label, Flipbook Music over unreleased music.
The singer was signed to the label before he became famous, with whom he recorded two albums that were never released.
A source told The Sun;
“Sam has worked tirelessly on his pop star image, pouring his heart and soul into two official albums he is proud of,”
“Now he fears he will become a laughing stock if these tracks see the light of day.”
The source continued to describe the songs as “cheesy” and said Smith had left Flipbook because he “had no artistic control”.
“[He] left on bad terms when he refused to let the tracks be released, realising they did not represent him as an artist,” they said.
“That was in 2008, but Flipbook isn’t backing down and Sam is doing everything in his power to block the release.”
