Fresh from the huge success of their huge track with Kim Petras, “Unholy”, Sam Smith has teased fans with a snippet of a new track.
Smith has previously revealed their fourth album, Gloria, will be out early next year. They have released the track listing and are now posting clips of new tracks to social media.
Yesterday, while flexing their legs in a pair of fishnet tights, Smith teased a seductive track entitled “Six Shots”. It features the lyrics “Better with the lights on, we can play my favorite song.”

Smith was a guest on Michelle Visage’s Rule Breakers podcast. Talking about “Unholy”, which they described as a “queer Bonnie & Clyde” track, Smith said Petras’ part didn’t initially feel right.
“It was such a powerful day. It was a room full of some of the biggest pop writers in the world,” they said. “All straight guys. And me and Kim were there. And her part of the song was starting to go down this road that felt a bit… it just didn’t feel right? It honestly didn’t feel queer. It didn’t feel like us.”
“I remember, it was like four or five o’clock in the afternoon. She had been recording for hours. And me and her just had this chat and we were like, ‘No, no, no. We need to scrap everything we’ve done, and rewrite it,’” Smith recalled.
“And she went in and it was unbelievable. She basically wrote the entire melody in one take, and then we came in and we worked on the lyrics for her verse. And it was just so fun.”
Gloria is released on January 27, 2023. Check out the artwork below.

Oh kindly stfu, bodyshaming in 2022, yikes

What GameBoy said! When you have polished your vocal skills to the point where you can confidently duet with the likes of John Legend and Brandi Carlile, then MAYBE you can body shame Sam Smith (but would probably know better when you grow up). I’m sure he posted that content knowing full well it was amusing, and not giving a shit about shallow haters.

Please she looks like Meghan McCain with out the wigs. You want body shaming? You have no idea.
smittoons
Eesh.

Great male singer. Female fashion model: total fail.

Look at his facial expression, are you so dull you cannot see it is supposed to be amusing and good natured?
And yes, he is an incredibly skilled singer.

Why?

How much time have you spent with him. Please let us know exactly what you have not liked about your interactions.
Oh wait….You’ve never me, but simply can’t control your bitchyness? SOOO Sorry!

Of this site showing their venom towards someone living & thriving, let’s see what happens when y’all post what you really look like & see toxicity thrown at you…

Amen. The funny thing is none of them seem to see the intended humor in those pix. No man looks either sexy or good in fishnets, and I’m sure he is well aware of that. He also has enough aclaim in his field that he is unlikely to care what anybody thinks.

If we were fool enough to put ourselves out there like some kind of sex symbol, we’d deserve mockery, too.

Den’s having a melt down. Everyone please be quiet.

As an admirer of vocal technicians, Smith drives me nuts. Though the genres are different, Smith is right up there with the likes of Chris Stapleton, Teddy Swims, and others whose physical appearance and presentation nobody would ever be petty enough to disparage. And you know most of the queens criticizing are in no position to opine about how anybody else looks, dresses or behaves.

You have no way of knowing that so it’s time for you to…well….play some Sam Smith. You’re a bore. And so is he.
GameBoy
And Yet… here they are with behind their smartphones esc thinking typing negativity is gonna change the fact Sam will continue be rich, successful & not miserable..
GameBoy
Abfab, hun you’re the bore with these try hard comebacks, YAWN!!

There’s still time for you to learn how to skip over comments that ruffle your feathers. Ignore me.

I wish people like Smith had the courage to just come out as gay instead of hiding behind this non-binary nonsense.
Lesbian and gay teens are taking this to heart and as young as 15 having their tits and sex organs removed so as to be neither men nor women. Last month, WPATH (the World Professional Association for Transgender Health) actually approved “eunoch” as a valid sexual identity. If you’re cool with that, something is really wrong with you.
GameBoy
So… in other words you’re transphobic, GOTCHA!

@GameBoy
So in other words, you’re in favor of butchering gay and lesbian kids who’ve had no actual therapy and too young to understand that as Dan Savage used to say “It gets better.” So just cut their body parts off, right?
Once again Queers like you have no shame about your homophobia.
