SAM SMITH'S NEW POP-DRIVEN ALBUM IS ON THE WAY

A follow-up to Sam Smith's 2017 album, The Thrill Of It All has been announced to be released in 2020. This album will break away from Smith's line-up of ballads and include more upbeat pop tunes. In an interview with the Zach Sang Show, Smith explained that the upcoming album will feature the recent singles, 'How Do You Sleep?' and 'Dancing With A Stranger'. 

“I feel like I have recently shown a side of me which I normally keep to myself or for my family and friends. I showed everyone it and everyone loved it. It’s almost given me permission to kinda do what I’ve always dreamed of doing but I was always scared to do, which is pop music.”, Smith said.

After a 2018 collaboration with Calvin Harris on 'Promises', Smith was inspired to write new music. “I caught this wind and started riding this wave and I haven’t stopped writing since”, Smith told Sang.
