This upcoming fourth studio album by Brit singer/songwriter Sam Smith is set to be released on January 27th through Capitol Records. The two singles released from the album entitled ‘Love Me More’ and ‘Unholy’ (a collab with German singer Kim Petras) have already been well received, the latter achieving the number one spot in the singles chart in the UK, US, Canada and Australia.
The new album ‘Gloria’ has been called a “personal revolution for Smith”, containing a dazzling, sumptuous, sophisticated, unexpected and at times thrilling, edgy sound of Sam’s creative today.
Sam always writes and sings from the heart and no stone has been left unturned in this new outing with sex, lies, passion, self-expression and imperfection just some of the tracks subject matters. Deep stuff – it always is with Sam!
The album, his first since ‘Love Goes’ in 2020, was recorded between Los Angeles, London and Jamaica with Smith working with regular collaborator Jimmy Napes who has produced with Stormy, Alicia Keyes and Taylor Swift among others.
This album is set to be a belter and right up there with his inaugural album ‘In The Lonely Hour’ which scooped 4 awards at the MOBO’s including Best Album back in 2014.
We can’t wait to hear the 13-track album in all its glory and especially his first collaboration with fellow Brit Ed Sheeren in ‘Who We Love’ which has all the makings of another chart-topping hit.
