Get ready to swoon, Sam Smith fans! Your favourite British singer-songwriter has just dropped a bombshell – their fifth studio album 'Hazel Eyes' is coming on August 21st and it's shaping up to be a real showstopper. Following the critically-acclaimed 'Gloria', this latest offering from Capitol Records UK promises to deliver even more of Smith's trademark soulful vocals and heart-wrenching lyrics.
But before you can get your hands on the album, Sam has given us a tantalising taste of what's in store with brand-new single 'My Guy'. This emotional ballad is being hailed as one of Smith's most personal tracks yet, with the artist confessing they've been waiting their whole life to write and sing it. And trust us, every word counts – this song exudes intimacy and vulnerability, painting a picture of love in all its glory.
'Hazel Eyes' is a carefully crafted 12-tracker that's seen Smith collaborate with long-time friend Simon Aldred, Canadian sweetheart Feist, and multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily. The result? An album that's been three years in the making – and it shows! With tracks like 'Everlasting Love', 'Moondance (feat. Feist)', and 'Oh Mother (feat. The TwoCityChorus)' promising to tug at your heartstrings, this record is set to be a fan favourite from the get-go.
And did we mention that Sam's been taking on an even more hands-on role as producer? They're proud to call 'Hazel Eyes' an 'incredibly special record', with each song bearing witness to life lessons learned and personal growth. With Smith set to take the stage at NYC Pride Weekend, there's never been a better time to immerse yourself in their world – and we can't wait to see what they have in store for us!
