Track is from forthcoming Gloria album
Sam Smith has shared “Gimme,” a clubby, dancehall-infused lover’s call featuring breakout Jamaican reggae/rap star Koffee and Colombian/Canadian R&B-pop maverick Jessie Reyez. The song, which received its first UK play on BBC Radio 1 as the Hottest Record In The World earlier today (Wed, Jan 11th), comes on the heels of Smith’s chart-topping global smash “Unholy” with Kim Petras. Recorded in Jamaica, “Gimme” is from Gloria, Smith’s fourth studio album, which will be released on January 27th via Capitol Records.
Describing the track as “filth!,” Smith says, “I’m a sexual person, I like sex. It’s something I’m teaching myself to not be ashamed of. Me and Jessie were basically drunk, drinking whisky in Jamaica, two in the morning, running around absolutely wasted, like two girlfriends having a laugh.”
The official video for “Gimme” will premiere soon. Smith teased the “Gimme” original sound on TikTok and IG Reels, racking up millions of views and posts from fans using the sound.
Smith will guest on Saturday Night Live for the third time on January 21st, and will kick off the North American leg of Gloria The Tour on July 25th. Jessie Reyez will be the special guest on all dates except August 4th in Washington, DC. An exclusive 24-hour ticket pre-sale for fans launched today. American Express Card Members can also purchase tickets before the general public through Thursday, January 12th at 10 pm local time. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday, January 13th at 9 am local time. Australian and New Zealand dates follow in October and November 2023.
Fans who pre-order the digital edition of Gloria will instantly receive “Gimme” plus the Grammy-nominated, RIAA-certified Platinum single “Unholy,” which spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and four weeks atop the UK Official Singles Chart. Amassing over one billion combined global streams to date, “Unholy” also took the No. 1 position on the Mediabase Top 40 Airplay chart, spent 50 days at No. 1 on the Global Spotify chart and topped the Apple and Shazam worldwide tallies.
