Sam Smith And Normani’s New Single ‘Dancing With A Stranger’ Out Now
‘Dancing With A Stranger’ is Sam Smith’s first new music in 2019 and follows on from his global hit with Calvin Harris ‘Promises’.
Sam Smith and Normani’s new collaborative single, ‘Dancing With A Stranger’ is out now on Capitol Records.
The collaboration between the two came about through a chance encounter at the studio in LA as Smith was writing with pop legends Stargate and Jimmy Napes, Normani was in the studio next door and with both artists being long-term fans of each other it was a no-brainer for her to team up with Smith to create the new track.
Sam Smith has spent the past year travelling around the world on his tour following the release of his sophomore album The Thrill of it All, seeing him sell over 1 million tickets across 100 shows in 2018. Dancing With A Stranger is his first new music in 2019 and follows on from his global hit with Calvin Harris ‘Promises’ which stormed the charts last summer. Smith will be flying out to South America this spring for Lollapalooza before heading over to South Africa for a string of five shows in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
On the new single, Sam Smith says, “I’m so excited for everyone to hear ‘Dancing With A Stranger,’ which I wrote on The Thrill Of It All tour last year. For me it bottles everything I was feeling whilst juggling my personal life and touring. It is also such a beautiful moment for me as I’m a huge, huge fan of Normani and everything she is. I’m so excited to watch her light shine. I hope everyone enjoys hearing this song as much as I do.”
Normani launched her solo career last year with her debut solo single ‘Love Lies’ with Khalid. ‘Love Lies’ soared to No. 1 at Top 40 Radio in the US and was the first single Normani released following her global success with multi-platinum group Fifth Harmony. Since then, she has gone on to release a number of new tracks including two tracks with Calvin Harris and her recent single, ‘Waves’ feat. 6LACK.
“I’m truly blessed having the opportunity to create with one of the greatest vocalists of this decade”, she says of Dancing With A Stranger. I think about the artists that I frequently listen to daily and Sam Smith has definitely been one of them for some time now. I never thought in a trillion years that I would be able to state that I have a record with this extremely gifted being.
“I’m super proud to share this song with Sam and cannot wait for the rest of the world to experience it – from the first moment that I heard the song I knew how special it was.”
