Sam Smith is releasing a new record.
The 34-year-old “Stay With Me” superstar announced their fifth studio album Hazel Eyes, out on August 21.
The new album includes new single “My Guy,” which is out now, and can be pre-ordered in various digital and physical formats right now.
“This album is an incredibly special record to me. I have been writing it for over three years with a very small group of beautiful, dear friends of mine. This album is very personal, and I feel I have deepened myself as an artist through the making of it, through being a producer on the record, to walking alongside this record from the start to the finish and pushing myself at every single turn. This record and this music is incredibly romantic. I’ve learned so many life lessons through making this album, and I’ve documented it all through the music.” – Sam Smith
Hazel Eyes is described as “a modern fairytale of requited love, capturing themes of emotional vulnerability, artistic freedom, and self-reflection,” and was co-produced by Sam, Simon Aldred and David Odlum.
The 12-song record was largely written in New York alongside collaborators like Feist, Shahzad Ismaily, and string arranger Rob Moose, and partly recorded at the legendary Electric Lady Studios.
It’s described as “a heartfelt ode to the city of New York which Sam now calls home, and draws from an eclectic constellation of genres (baroque pop, British folk, outlaw country, left-field R&B)—all while foregrounding their incandescent voice and soul-baring storytelling.”
”This is a song that I feel I have been waiting a lifetime to write and sing. Written with beautiful friends on a summer’s day in New York, this one fell out of the sky. In this sometimes cold and distant world, I hope you can feel the love and the closeness of this recording. I tried to capture the glow and the warmth of love in this one, it makes me cry, maybe it will make you feel a little love too.” – Sam Smith on “My Guy”
Sam will perform on Friday (June 26) at The Booking.com Theater at the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center (SNMVC) as well.
