Smith’s new album is yet to bag a due date and, should it drop before this year’s Grammy deadline, will be forced to go head to head with releases from the likes of Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry and Kendrick Lamar.

Are you looking forward to the album?

As unlikely pairings go, Sam Smith and Timbaland rank pretty high.

Yet, surprisingly the duo have been snapped in the studio together.

Smith, who took the world and Grammys by storm with his debut album ‘In The Lonely Hour,’ has maintained a super low profile.

Details are scarce about the follow-up to the 2014 set, but it looks as though Timbo is in the mix.

Taking to Instagram to share the snap, the hitmaker said of the Brit-bred star:

It was a pleasure working this man @samsmithworld #puretalent#goodvibes #makingmemories and #timeless #music ????

The last twelve months have seen Sam Smith become ubiquitous on music charts across the globe – thanks largely to his Grammy winning debut ‘In The Lonely Hour.’

Following the set’s gargantuan success, the crooner is repackaging the project for a deluxe re-release sub-titled the ‘Drowning Shadows Edition.’

Due November 6th, little was known about the beefed up re-issue beyond its inclusion of acoustic takes on Whitney Houston’s ‘How Will I Know’ and Amy Winehouse’s ‘Love Is A Losing Game.’

However, tonight on Zane Lowe’s Beats1 radio show, 23-year old Smith premiered new number ‘Drowning Shadows.’

The British star described the track as “the saddest song I’ve ever written and probably the least radio-friendly song I’ve ever written.” He interestingly penned the cut before the hits that made him a household name, yet couldn’t find the right production to fit it.

Upon deciding to re-release the LP, he re-visited the song with his pianist and opted for a simple piano-led backdrop.
