Sam Smith: New Album ‘Gloria’, SNL & Creating "Unholy" | Apple Music

- čas přidán 23. 05. 2024
- Nearly ten years after their debut, Sam Smith is releasing their deepest album yet: ‘Gloria’. Sam meets up with Zane Lowe in New York for a wide-ranging conversation ahead of their Saturday Night Live performance.
Sam Smith discusses how 'In the Lonely Hour' feels in hindsight', and reveals how years of playing into a character separated their public and private lives, making many people around them resistant to the more sexualized direction of 'Gloria.' Sam reveals the personal struggles that they've conquered to get to where they are today, including homophobia, transphobia, OCD, and body dysmorphia, and how music remained their saving grace.
Despite all the hardships, Sam celebrates recent wins, like being invited to the White House with President Biden, performing with Kim Petras and Sharon Stone on Saturday Night Live, and going on tour again with their most authentic music yet. The conversation concludes with Sam expressing how excited they are to continue to be the most real version of themselves.

#SamSmith #Gloria #AppleMusic - Hudba
These interviews are so calming because of zanes voice and the way he respects every artist he talkes to❤️
I agree! And it feels more like a 2 way interview. Zane is very insightful and does come across as starstruck. Very good interviewer!
@@seany3303 you can tell Zane really respects Sam’s artistry
I'm feeling quite emotional and upset at what Sam and others have to go through just to be themselves. I'm so looking forward to this album. It's fabulous to watch and listen to Zane's interviews before big album releases. It adds to the excitement.
Don't read about involuntary psychiatric treatment. Might ruin your rosy goggled world view.

Some things don’t need publicized as he can still be himself 🤦🏼♂️ we live in a highly confused and manipulated generation
The way how they´ve grown and bloomed into such a confident, talented, flawless and loving person. I can´t express in words how much I love Sam 💜
The way how they’ve grown? That doesn’t make sense….but HE has grown….look at his face and belly…it’s growing out in all the wrong places
I was a mum in my early 20s when I heard Sam for the first time and found solace in your music. Now I’m in my mid 30s, my kids are lgbtq and you Sam is what we all need ❤
um, speak for yourself
A bunch of support and love for ya' 🙌🏻🤍
@@andrew5222 I think that's exactly what she's doing 🙄
Um..
Every interview with Zane feels like a private therapy session. Thanks, Zane.
So true......he can bring quiet truths out from his beautiful interviews!
They change my life, they have grown me . Helped me through so much anxiety, heartbreak, love , joy. Saw them 2017 in Sydney. Sam is timeless
Who's they? Who helped you?
@@Jeremy-wp4yh Sam smith , they go by they/them
@@lilianrobson2896 its a man. Speak English
@Jeremy clearly you had not watched the interview. If you are not interested in this artist you can go to other video and not spread your hate.
@@Jeremy-wp4yh stop it... If you don't like it, then go and watch something else. Don't tell people how to live as long as they don't hurt you or someone else. Also: That is English.
Sam, the first time I heard Latch, my life changed. Your voice is just perfect for disclosure’s music. I thought it was fake/auto-tuned it was so good.
Honestly this is the best interview, I feel like this is where Sam could be themselves and relax and the interviewer is so nice and polite ♥️
HIMSELF!!
Beautiful interview. Sam is my most favourite artist of all time. Such an honest, kind and talented human being. Glad they finally feel comfortable to be who they are ❤️
HE he he he…he I a he….look at the facial hair, it’s a bit of a giveaway…I would say look at the Adam’s apple but I don’t think the fat will ever recede enough to see that again 😂
Finally a recent Sam Smith CZcams video without the horrid hate comments.
Sam is amazing and the new songs are bomb! Love the new style and they are shining heaps more than ever before!
No there's some on there.
Look at the dislike bar. It's almost equal numbers between likes and dislikes.
Finally, an interview where Sam is not receiving hate, this interview feels like a therapy session with them! They have created an incredible album, a place where we can feel safe embracing who we are, especially Sam.
They still do receive hate regardless. Look at the like/dislike ratio on the video.
Thank you Sam for being so authentically you. ❤ So so many people become a little more themselves when listening to your music or observing your life.
The fatphobia, the bullying and hate have to stop. Seriously. Keep being your true creative and authentic self
What a beautiful person inside and out. It breaks my heart when they said that someone spit on them across the street, like it was the most natural thing to happen to them every day. The hate in this world needs to stop. Love from a 52-year-old mom who is currently obsessed with the beauty of your new work. I see you... and all your friends who worked together to do this magnificent thing. Xoxo
Thanks for your support 🥺
There's a video of the women that did that about your age...
@@Professional... Horrifying. Ignorance.
@@bunnymomjulie6719 exactly
I just finished this video and now that I’ve listened to the album I automatically knew how to cry and no god was about a narcissist cuz that’s exactly how my mother acts like thank you Sam for putting music that heals and it’s time to heal what my mother put me through
Now you’re free!!! Go live YOUR life!!!!!
Are you still a fan of Sam Smith in 2023?
@@Jay-son. yep I have taste💁🏻♀️
He gets a lot of hate but he’s different and he’s changing the game an I think that’s something that should be respected, regardless of your views, it takes courage and balls, I’m proud of him for what he’s doing, go and be you !!!
I love this album so freaking much. In the Lonely Hour came out when I was in high school and I loved it. Now, at 29, I feel even more attached emotionally to Sam and am SO PROUD of them for what their doing.
What they said about “it’s me - if I do it then it’s on brand” really resonates with me. I love that so much.
Sam was my first vinyl, first concert I ever attended as an adult, and just seeing them display their talent and emotion on a stage for the world being themselves was all the hope I needed at that time. 💘
Sam Smith is a kind and sweet person 🥰 i love watching their interviews.
HIS interviews…..
@@stiffmeister0802 I said what I said. Their interviews. Sam's pronouns are they/their/them.
But let’s not 😴 on Gimmie , Who We Love, and Six Shots !!! Honestly the entire record is a gem
this album will clean up the grammyss
Great interview Zane. Happy that you have my friend on here. I can’t wait to see that rehearsal space in a few years.
You're the best interviewer, Zane. I love watching the conversations you have with all the artists you speak to. Love it so much!! ❤️
Happy to hear that they are in a more comfortable and happy place. And so interesting to hear an artistic soul talk and share humbly about the art they make and how it connects to living life.
Who's In a more comfortable place? Who's they?
@@Jeremy-wp4yh Sam smith rocks wit they/them pronouns homie
@@kidinPJs he's a man. I would just say he.
@@Jeremy-wp4yh you're ignorant, even if you don't agree, at least have enough decency to respect other peoples choices and pronouns. Sams chosen pronouns are they/them. Educate yourself please, it's embarrassing.
So much respect for they as a person and as a artist, the way they had to deal with gender and sexuality in the eye of the entire world!! to just get to a point where they are so free to be who they want to be, it's realy beautiful and strong yet still they seem to be a sweet person
Sam hit the nail on the head with their conversation about transphobia and phobias of gender neutral people in the UK 🇬🇧. It makes me scared to be myself, knowing that there may be a really threatening situation where if I go outside there are likely going to be people who don’t like the way I dress and socially approach others, so often times I don’t even bother allowing myself to have that freedom because I know it’s so different from what people expect of me.
I want to change the narrative which people might have of their image expectations with me. Because that narrative isn’t just other peoples opinions - it’s my life. It’s the story of my life, which is written by me, which includes me as (without entering an excessively narcissistic pov) the main character. A story which, since I am the sole writer, gives me tremendous opportunities for power, and subsequent self respect.
A story that I have decided to write, depicting myself as a happy human. Thx world :)
Sam's first album was one of the last physical albums I bought because I was obsessed with discovering a queer artist at that time. I'm so proud of their journey 💜
Zane and Sam in interview was a brilliant experience and insight💜💜✨Also the importance of identifying any mental health issue such as OCD that many artists suffer when opening their hearts and minds!
Love Zane's Interviews ---- Can't wait to get Sam's new Album!
I enjoyed this interview. Sam Smith is one of my favorites since "Latch" its been truly amazing to watch him grow and become more comfortable with himself. And him working with Jessie Reyez was so unexpected but needed. Love them both 🤩
I remember first hearing sam when I was in high school and to see sams journey has been incredible - such an inspiring interview, thank you both for sharing.
That was an absolutely beautiful interview. Love and strength to all to be who you are!!!
I love watching and rewatching your interviews Zane.
This is so beautiful. Thank you Sam for just existing, what an amazing being.
This person is my inspiration and where i look for. Amaizing, kind, talented... I cant uderstand how people can be so mean to them, maybe becase its too much for regular people to apreciate
he acts like a girl
@@fireboxa1 and? Any issues? Then go and fix them, its your problem not ours honey. Mwuah
Wooow!! Que entrevista tan bonita!!! Gracias amigo🥰
Loved watching this! April can't come quick enough
Can’t wait to get the vinyl tomorrow!
I saw them two days ago in Vienna and was just so endlessly happy… Gloria tour is a masterpiece and I can’t express how much love and joy is sent out by Sam ♥️ I am impressed by their lovely personality
What a lovely interview!
Not really been a follower of Sam Smith, but I love their energy and unholy is a filthy beast that I'm very much into.
Thank you Sam for sticking it to the bigots by just existing and being your genuine self.
Thank you Zane for being a compassionate thoughtful interviewer where it feels just like a natural conversation between 2 people.
That was an amazing interview, such professionalism
This is a really great album. Amazing.

Because of Sam Smith today, I started to love myself again. True words.
THEY ARE GLORIOUS!
Sam. You are an inspiration and lots of us relate to you. Keep being you. ❤️❤️
Thank you Sam! You make my life so much better every day❤
This conversation is so cathartic.
What a lovely human! Congrats Sam so proud you ❤️
Im struggling with this interview cause of the constant interrupting.
The end was so cute. Zane seems to be a great guy. I'd love to have a friend like him in my life!
No one interviews these amazing artists like Zane 😊❤
he talks too much for my liking
He’s the Nardwaur of the UK.
🐐🐐🐐
Sam. Beautiful human. Thank you for this conversation.
Can we please talk about the director creating this look perfectly ? Huge respect to DoP.
Sam is a wonderful human being staying true to himself I luv that your music is awesome 🥰🥰😍
I just love Sam's talks with Zane Lowe. Zane ask questions about Sam's talent and everything connected to it. ✌️♥️
Love your work
It really breaks my heart that someone spat at Sam Smith after they came out as non-binary. Harrassment is never okay and seriously needs to stop.
No God it’s a very humbling song, I hope there’s a video coming up for it
This was simply beautiful and I think you Sam 💚
Great interview.
The lighting in this interview looks quite serious 😮
Seriously you’re phenomenal you just do what you want to do
Is it possible to get the traduction in french please?🙏
love you and your work so much. you deserve it all
This sweater is a must have, Zane. Let me know where it’s from.
He reminds me so much of Alexander McQueen. Totally different genius but the determination to be themselves at all costs. I love Sam and I loved McQueen❤❤
There’s nothing more powerful than a voice and a pen to make a difference
❤ I love you Sam you are my only and only. Thank you for being you!!!
love the open mental heath chats in this. big love for Sam Smith always
I just love Sam! Such a great interview! I didn’t think I could love Sam any more- this interview went deep. Also- my opinion-Sam looks so much hotter bigger than thinner. I hope they know that. Being authentic self publicly makes you beautiful.
Sam
This is one of your best interviews About you living in the moments gone by. Such away to explain your intellect … and passage of your life events! People-should focus on your creativity artistry that is coming out !
At the end of the day you are who you are and people just need to respect that! People need to grow up and be kinder to one another!
I love the sweater zane lowe is wearing, can someone please tell me where i can get one?!
is very simple. if you dont like it, dont watch it. keep it up sam. be who you really are
If I wasn’t a fan before. I am one now ❤️
I personally love you Sam Smith and please with the new transition please always give us the Sam Smith we fell inlove with....I respect you're growth and evolution as a person and brand.....I'll forever love you....i want to grow old listerning to ur iconic songs and share memories etc...I love you Gloria😍
I think Unholy is one of their best songs. It's so much fun and I love the choir in the chorus.
One of who's best songs? Who are you talking about?
@@Jeremy-wp4yh and since you're such a stickler for grammar, it's *whose, not who's
@@solangelostan6016 not grammar. Just confused. Are you talking about the guy Sam? Why be cryptic. Just mention him.
@@Jeremy-wp4yh Sam uses they/them which is why I said they.
I LOVE SAMMM ANDD I LOVE ZANES AWESOME TALKS, QUESTIONS, AND MAKING EVERYONE STAND OUT SO WELL AS THE ARTIST THEY ARE!!!!
The way they walk in those heels I’m so jealous swag baby swag
I love this person with my whole heart
I love the way It perhabs they this non-binarie being of Sam Is the way i reconizing myself And Is so enpowering infinitr love for they💛
Can we immediately appreciate the OUTFIT! SAM!
0:16 Epic 😭💕💕
I feel like the interviewer is being kind of critical of him but he’s so sweet. Omg! Lol 🎉 I love him! Is he not like the calmest, most endearing celebrity? Ah obsessed!
11:17 😭😭😭💔💔💔no words
Love this interview so much. Feel it’s important to add (as a person with non-visible compulsions) “pure-o” OCD is sometimes considered a misnomer, as both obsessions and compulsions can happen inside your head or can look like google searching, “checking,” or scrolling-things we may not spot as compulsions easily because they don’t involve counting or other things associated with OCD. It helped me a lot in my recovery to spot these things, as they didn’t seem like compulsions to me for a long time. If you’re like me and have OCD, know there is help out there. Sending love. ❤️
i need that cardigan !!!! anyone know it?
I love him so matter what. Just be healthy and happy.
Love them and this record
We love you no matter what. People who hate, they hate themselves and are jealous.

Sam I knew it….
Every time I hear that song I break down and cry…. This is the song I want to sing to my mom…
Especially you dont see me…
This song hits the deepest nodes of my heart and soul…
I cant believe it is about a narcissist.
She is diagnosed.
I break down and cry because this song is closure for me,
I have been going through that song since the day I was born…
And I always hide it from my other family…
They tell me that getting reeled in everytime is my choice, and it is. So i dont tell them.
But those are all the reasons why I should leave…
Thank you for that Sam😔🥺🙏💚💚💚
