Sam Smith: New Album ‘Gloria’, SNL & Creating "Unholy" | Apple Music
Рет қаралды 166,859
Күн бұрынNearly ten years after their debut, Sam Smith is releasing their deepest album yet: ‘Gloria’. Sam meets up with Zane Lowe in New York for a wide-ranging conversation ahead of their Saturday Night Live performance.
Sam Smith discusses how 'In the Lonely Hour' feels in hindsight', and reveals how years of playing into a character separated their public and private lives, making many people around them resistant to the more sexualized direction of 'Gloria.' Sam reveals the personal struggles that they've conquered to get to where they are today, including homophobia, transphobia, OCD, and body dysmorphia, and how music remained their saving grace.
Despite all the hardships, Sam celebrates recent wins, like being invited to the White House with President Biden, performing with Kim Petras and Sharon Stone on Saturday Night Live, and going on tour again with their most authentic music yet. The conversation concludes with Sam expressing how excited they are to continue to be the most real version of themselves.

I love this album so freaking much. In the Lonely Hour came out when I was in high school and I loved it. Now, at 29, I feel even more attached emotionally to Sam and am SO PROUD of them for what their doing. What they said about “it’s me - if I do it then it’s on brand” really resonates with me. I love that so much.

Sam hit the nail on the head with their conversation about transphobia and phobias of gender neutral people in the UK 🇬🇧. It makes me scared to be myself, knowing that there may be a really threatening situation where if I go outside there are likely going to be people who don’t like the way I dress and socially approach others, so often times I don’t even bother allowing myself to have that freedom because I know it’s so different from what people expect of me. I want to change the narrative which people might have of their image expectations with me. Because that narrative isn’t just other peoples opinions - it’s my life. It’s the story of my life, which is written by me, which includes me as (without entering an excessively narcissistic pov) the main character. A story which, since I am the sole writer, gives me tremendous opportunities for power, and subsequent self respect. A story that I have decided to write, depicting myself as a happy human. Thx world :)
