So, what might this album be like? Smith is known for his ballads and, if we're lucky, we'll have a few of those to try (and fail) to sing along to. One Instagram photo from April 6 shows Smith hanging out with rapper and producer Timbaland. This led to speculation that he might have something to do with Smith's new album. A heavier R&B influence sounds good to us. If it's anything like the last one, Smith's album is sure to top charts.
