  Sam Smith releases the highly anticipated music video to latest single “Pray feat. Logic”, available to stream and buy from 6pm BST on 9th May worldwide. Smith’s sophomore album “The Thrill of It All” is out now.

  The new single sees legendary producer Timbaland work with Sam Smith for the first time. The result is a sensational, soul-infused, slow-jam that demonstrates Smith’s delicate yet powerful vocals as he traverses a huge range backed by a powerful choir. The new single also features additional vocals from American rapper Logic transforms the track by adding own unique verses to the original. The fantastical music video was shot in a breathtaking manor house in Como, Italy and features an array of dancers, performers and stunning costumes.

  Speaking on the inspiration behind the song, Sam explains “We are all looking around at what’s happening in the world and it is just messed. You’ve got no choice but to look up to the sky and put your hands together and pray for something to happen, because I feel helpless as a human right now.”

  Smith performed the emotional and hard hitting original song on Saturday Night Live last year ahead his performance at The GRAMMY Awards earlier this year to a spellbound audience in Madison Square Gardens. Smith’s new album “The Thrill of It All” was released last November charting at #1 in the UK and US and has already sold 3.5million copies worldwide. /PR
