Sam Smith is preparing to celebrate the anniversary of their debut studio album together In Lonely Hour 10 Year Anniversary Edition. Due for release on Capitol Records on August 2nd, the compilation will include all 10 songs from the original, as well as the exclusive new track, “Little Sailor”.
A collector's edition of the remastered LP will feature 25 songs across four LPs and two CDs, including live versions of some of the album's original songs and special features with Mary J. Blige, A$AP Rocky and John Legend.
The six-time platinum original album originally released on June 17, 2014 – which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart – also featured Smith's Billboard Hot 100 hit No. 2 “Stay With Me” as the No. 5 hit “I'm Not the Only One” and “Lay Me Down” (No. 8) and fan favorites “Money On My Mind” and “Like I Can.” The collection garnered six Grammy nominations, including bids in the “big four” categories, with Smith winning gold for Best New Artist, Best Pop Vocal album, Song of the Year (“Stay With Me”) and Record of the year (for the Darkchild remix of “Stay With Me”).
“This year marks a decade since the release of my first album. I feel so incredibly lucky to be celebrating this milestone with you,” Smith wrote on X. “My team and I have been creating this beautiful anniversary edition for all of us for the past 10 years. Today is just the beginning “Sailors”, we have so much to celebrate with you between now and August. I can't wait to look back In The Lonely Hour together.”
Smith makes his first podcast, The Pink House, today (June 13), with each episode promising a meeting between the singer and the friends/queer icons who share how they “have all found their own places in the world and share stories of belonging, chosen families and the journeys we take to become them who we are meant to be,” according to a statement. The Lemonade Media-produced show, named after Smith's childhood home in Great Chisill, England, will feature guest appearances from Elliott Page, Joel Kim Booster, Ben Platt, Gloria Estefan and more, who will explore their the Pink Houses in the pod, explaining how they “Walked through the early races and finally found their place in the world.”
The first two episodes are available now, with a new ep coming out every week.
