Sam Smith is entering a new era.

The multi-award-winning singer-songwriter has officially announced their fifth studio album, ‘Hazel Eyes,’ arriving this August. As a first taste of the project, Smith released the single ‘My Guy.’

Full story below…

Recorded in part at New York’s famed Electric Lady Studios, the 12-track set blends influences from baroque pop, folk, country, and R&B while placing Smith’s unmistakable vocals front and center.

To kick off the new era, the release of ‘My Guy’ described by Smith as a song they had “waited a lifetime” to create, offers listeners an early glimpse into the emotional core of ‘Hazel Eyes.’

“And like all good things, it caught me by surprise/ You could dream he’s yours all you want, but he’s mine, mine, mine/ He’s my guy/ He’s my guy” Smith sings on the new single.

The album follows a series of intimate residency performances across North America, where Smith debuted several new songs and welcomed surprise guests including Hozier, Ed Sheeran, Brandi Carlile, and Kim Petras.
