Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some artists can have several thousand ratings)
This artist has a Bayesian average rating of 60.7/100, a mean average of 52.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 52.9/100. The standard deviation for this artist is 25.9.

Extraordinarily dull artist whose voice is so wasted.
I did quite like Sam's track 'Stay With Me' when it came out, did remind me a bit of Adele and Emeli Sande's work. However overall I'm not crazy about their voice much and have found most of their material to be a bit bland
