Sam Smith to Explore 'Queerness' in New AlbumInstagram

The ‘Stay With Me’ singer is expected to explore their gender and queerness in the next studio installment which is pushed back due to coronavirus pandemic.

AceShowbizSam Smith‘s new album will explore the singer’s “queerness.”

Last year 2019, Sam opened up about their gender in a candid social media post, revealing they’re gender non-binary and prefer to identify with “they/them” pronouns.

Speaking during a recent interview on ABC Radio, the star discussed their forthcoming third album, which is expected to be released later this year and confessed the collection is “really deep into exploring my gender (and) exploring my queerness.”

“I changed my pronouns and I was feeling so happy to be myself,” they said. “I was going out in Los Angeles a lot and I was dancing and I was drinking loads, having a wonderful time with all my friends.”

“I went into the studio and the guys who were writing with me said, ‘What do you want to say?’ “

The “Stay with Me” hitmaker’s new album, originally titled “To Die For”, had been scheduled to drop in May, but due to the Covid-19 crisis they pressed pause on the release and plans to rework and rename the collection in response to the global pandemic.

“I have done a lot of thinking the last few weeks and feel that the title of my album and imminent release doesn’t feel right, so I have come to the decision to continue working on the album and make some important changes and additions,” Sam said.

“I will be renaming my album and pushing back the release date – both of which are to be confirmed at this time.”

A new date/title has yet to be announced.
