Hear the Koffee- and Jessie Reyez-assisted “Gimme” and pre-add LP four

The last time we heard from Sam Smith, on 2020’s Love Goes, the London singer-songwriter was feeling liberated. “The last two years for me as a writer and a singer were so beautiful and freeing,” they told Apple Music at the time. “I felt at one point that I was going to be trapped onstage wearing a suit and singing ballads for the rest of my life. When I look back at [Love Goes], it reminds me of the courage it took.” What we’ve heard so far of follow-up Gloria—Smith’s fourth album, recorded between Jamaica, LA, and London, and featuring artists including Kim Petras, Ed Sheeran, Jessie Reyez, and Koffee—hints that Smith is leaning further into the joys of that newfound freedom. It’s clear, too, that they are still felling pretty brave. First came the radical self-acceptance of “Love Me More,” a gospel-inflected track that’s classic Sam Smith, followed by the roof-raising pop of “Unholy” alongside Kim Petras, the 2022 smash that might just be their most thrilling hit to date. Now, you can hear “Gimme,” a lusty moment assisted by Koffee and Reyez that feels destined to soundtrack the summer.
