You’d think after having pretty much the best night ever at the Grammys, Sam Smith would take some time off to enjoy his four big awards. But he’s already hard at work at album #2.
The “Lay Me Down” singer isn’t wasting any time writing the follow-up to his hit album In The Lonely Hour, which, much like his debut, will have an overall theme: honesty.
“For my next record I’ve already started writing, and my plan is to
be even more honest than I have been before,” Sam told MTV News on the
red carpet of the Grammy Awards. “As someone that consumes music, I hate
it when I see celebrities and artists become polished and look like
they’ve got loads more money and no problems. I do still have problems,
and I’m going to have problems I really want to just show my human
side.”
In The Lonely Hour was certainly an album filled with
heartbreak and tears, and while so many positive things have happened in
Sam’s life, his writing is still taking on a sad tone.
“I’m a melancholy person. I’m not actually, but my music is
melancholy,” he said. “Cause I get out all my feelings in my music so
that I can be happy and enjoy nights like this.”
Sam recently called it quits
with boyfriend Jonathan Zeizel, which is unfortunate, but it may be
beneficial for us since he may have found some new musical inspiration.
“I’m just going to try to fall in love and make them dump me so I can write another record,” Sam told us
in December. “I always thought I would wait to write new songs, because
I’ve got a long time to go before I’m even going to think of releasing,
but I’ve already started writing some songs and have some ideas and
stuff.”
