Sam Smith's fifth studio album features twelve songs. The album was created in collaboration with Simon Aldred, David Odlum, Feist, Shahzad Ismaily, and Rob Moose. The new album is an escape from fake love and bad news.
Sam Smith achieved his definitive international breakthrough in 2013 with the song «La La La» by Naughty Boy, for which Smith also wrote the lyrics. Smith has received numerous awards and nominations, not least the Oscar in the «Best Song» category for the title track «Writing’s on the Wall» from the James Bond film Spectre. Now, 13 years after the first single, Sam Smith is a well-known and celebrated figure.
«Hazel Eyes» is the title of the latest release. It is Smith’s fifth album and features twelve songs. Sam Smith produced and crafted the album together with Simon Aldred, David Odlum, Feist, Shahzad Ismaily, and Rob Moose, with most of the recording taking place in New York. The first four songs on the album, «My Guy», «When He’s Gone», «Love Is A Stillness», and «OhMother», have long been beloved by fans. Now, the remaining eight tracks are finally here.
Sam Smith is very much looking forward to sharing the album with their audience. Smith describes it as an honest account of the past few years and an escape from fake love and bad news. Now that the album is complete, Smith believes more than ever that love can heal and that music is a place of refuge.
Sam Smith is going on tour in August and September, with two concerts each in Mexico City and Manchester, as well as eight performances in London on the schedule. Sam Smith will certainly perform the new songs from the album «Hazel Eyes» at these shows. Unfortunately, these are the only cities so far where you can see Sam Smith live. This means fans in Switzerland will have to wait a little longer. Should there be any changes, fans will be kept up to date through Ticketcorner’s Ticket Alert.
