Sam Smith at The Kia Forum

Finding his breakthrough with successful features on Disclosure's "Latch", Sam Smith subsequently released "Lay Me Down", the first single off of their debut album "In the Lonely Hour". With the album "all about unrequited love", citing inspiration from personal experiences, Sam Smith's singles propelled to international success for their hard-hitting reliability and emotional delivery. These multi-platinum hits include "Stay with Me", "I'm Not the Only One", "Like I Can", and "Lay Me Down". Through years of dropping emotional masterpieces that sent tears across the pacific ocean, Sam Smith is dropping his fourth studio record "Gloria" on January 27th.

"I’m feeling overwhelmed and emotional as I start to let go of Gloria and hand this work over to you," they shared about the upcoming album. "It has been magical in every way to make this piece of music, and by giving this record to you, I am giving you part of my heart and soul."

Gloria features Smith's previously-released singles "Love Me More" and the Certified-Platinum #1 viral hit single "Unholy" with Kim Petras.

Four albums into a beautiful and emotional journey of four Grammy Awards, three BRITs, an Oscar, and over fifty-billion streams across different platforms, Sam Smith is definitely one of the world's biggest and proudest queer singer-songwriters to watch out for. As Gloria makes its way to hit the shelves real soon, Smith is gearing up to deliver a slayin' set of shows throughout the year.

"I’m starting to prep now, really." they told Billboard as they start rehearsals for the tour by March. "I’m starting to watch what I eat, what I’m drinking, starting to move my body more, train my voice, just getting ready for the year ahead."

As a follow-up to their RIAA Awarded-Platinum 2020 album "Love Goes", Gloria is set to bless airwaves globally as the queer icon graces through tracks that never fail to hit hard with its lyrical tales. Describing its title track as their "queer love hymn", Smith describes life "is a song to Gloria, the thing I can't put a word to. I don't know if it's nature or a feminine energy inside me that I'm setting free."
