It seems like only yesterday that we discovered the many charms of one Sam Smith upon hearing their vocal magic on Disclosure’s insta-banger “Latch.” But ten years have now passed seemingly in the blink of an eye and Smith has now blessed us with their fourth studio album Gloria featuring the official singles “Gimee,” “Love Me More” and “Unholy” featuring Kim Petras.
“I made a very conscious decision with this record to not bring anything out until I just loved it, in and out, and didn’t want to be in a position where I was putting something out and was thinking, ‘are people going to like this’?” Smith recently told Billboard. “I wanted to be in a position where I put something out and I felt I didn’t care if anyone else liked it, because it’s about whether I like it. Because it’s what I make. … [Gloria] really came about expressing the liberation I’ve been feeling over the last few years, when it comes to my sexuality, my emotions, my spirit.”
