Another week, another collection of brand new projects for the world to dive into.
Sam Smith leads this New Music Friday with their Hazel Eyes LP, marking their fifth studio album and first since 2023’s Gloria. Featuring a slew of singles — including “To Be Free,” “My Guy” and “When He’s Gone” — the 12-track set was primarily written and produced by Smith, Simon Aldred and David Odlum.
