Sam Smith released a new single, 'To Be Free', which was written during the sessions for their last album, 'Gloria'. The song is characterized by a single vocal and guitar take, performed live with friend Simon Aldred. Backed by the TwoCity Chorus, the song represents personal freedom for Smith, who notes its significance in various emotional moments. The accompanying music video features rivers, a recurring theme in Smith's life. Smith will perform a 12-night residency at Warsaw in Brooklyn, starting October 8.
"It was created during a time in my life where I became free within myself. I've never had a recording experience like I did making this song."
"Over the last five years, Simon and I started to create music that fit into this world of 'To Be Free' and during this time, I've continued to turn to this song in happy moments, sad moments, lonely moments and angry moments."
"Now, I'm ready to let it go, and hopefully it can do the same for someone else."
"With this song, the visual of rivers kept coming into my mind and into my heart. I found it interesting to think of my music and my expression as an artist as a river."
