Sam Smith Announces New Album Hazel Eyes

Sam Smith is entering a new chapter with the announcement of their fifth studio album, Hazel Eyes, set to arrive August 21 through Capitol Records UK.

The 12-song project follows Smith's previous album, Gloria, and arrives with the release of a new single, "My Guy." The announcement gives fans the first clear look at what's next for Smith after a career filled with emotional ballads, pop collaborations, and powerhouse vocal moments that have crossed from pop radio into adult contemporary playlists.

Smith spent more than three years developing Hazel Eyes, with much of the creative process taking place in New York. The album also brings in a wide range of collaborators, including Feist, Rob Moose, Shahzad Ismaily, David Odlum, and Simon Aldred.

For longtime fans, Hazel Eyes sounds like more than just another album release. It represents another full-length chapter from an artist who has built a career around vulnerability, big vocals, and songs that often connect on a deeply emotional level.

With "My Guy" now out and Hazel Eyes officially on the way, Sam Smith's next era is beginning to take shape.
