Sam Smith has announced fourth studio album ‘Gloria’, due out on 27 January 2023.

The news follows recently released chart-topping single ‘Unholy’ featuring Kim Petras.

‘Gloria’ will be the follow-up to the British singer-songwriter’s 2020 full-length ‘Love Goes’.

Sam Smith took to social media to unveil the announcement posting, “I am overjoyed to announce that my fourth album is called GLORIA. It will be yours on the 27th January 2023, and you can pre-order now. I’m feeling overwhelmed and emotional as I start to let go of Gloria and hand this work over to you. It has been magical in every way to make this piece of music and by giving this record to you I am giving you part of my heart and soul. Gloria got me through some dark times and was a beacon for me in my life. I hope it can be that for you. Thank you for waiting so long. Only a few months now.”
