New music is on the horizon.
After nearly two years since their last album release, Sam Smith is kicking off their fourth album era with a beautiful piano ballet.
The “Dancing With a Stranger” singer’s chart-topping album “Love Goes” was released in October 2020 and included top hits like the upbeat breakup song “Diamonds” and “Promises” with Scottish music producer Calvin Harris.

Sam Smith Faces Copyright Lawsuit
Smith and pop singer Normani recently were under fire for allegedly stealing the hook and chorus for their hit song “Dancing With a Stranger.”
In March, Jordan Vincent, Christopher Miranda, and Rosco Banlaoi filed a copyright lawsuit against the artists, stating that their 2019 song stole from the writer’s 2015 track by the same name.
“In both songs, the title, hook, chorus, lyrics, and musical composition are all the same—and are repeated throughout the song giving both songs their identities,” the songwriters wrote in a complaint to the Los Angeles federal court.
