Sam Smith has just announced their fourth studio album, titled ‘Gloria’, will arrive on Jan. 27, 2023.

“Gloria” was made with longtime collaborators Jimmy Napes, Stargate, and Max Martin stablemate ILYA, and was recorded in Jamaica, Los Angeles, and London. The album will explore Smith’s personal journey through “sex, lies, passion, self-expression and imperfection.” Smith said about the album: “It feels like emotional, sexual and spiritual liberation. It was beautiful, with this album, to sing freely again. Oddly, it feels like my first-ever record. And it feels like a coming of age.”

Smith’s worldwide smash hit “Unholy’ featuring Kim Petras is the lead single from ‘Gloria’, and has already amassed over 300 million combined global streams. Fans who pre-order the digital edition of ‘Gloria’ will receive one of its unreleased tracks, “Love Me More.”  To pre-order Gloria, head here.
