On Friday (1.13,), Sam Smith released the music video for their new song “Gimme” featuring Jessie Reyez and Koffee.
Following the three musicians as they dance the night away in an underground club, Smith sings “Voyeurs are watching us/Giving me such a rush.” “When I’m crazy and drunk on love/Gimme what I want, gimme what I want.” In the video, Smith pours shots of Patrón, dances with Koffee and Reyez, and poses in a leather top and glasses as they sing about feeling sexually liberated.
As art imitates life, the video reflects an actual experience between Smith and Reyez while they recorded the song in Jamaica.“ Me and Jessie were basically drunk, drinking whisky in Jamaica, two in the morning, running around absolutely wasted, like two girlfriends having a laugh.” “It’s a very sensual song,” stated Smith.
In a concise statement, Reyez said “I was belligerent one night, and then the next morning, apparently we had made this.”
‘Gimme’ was also inspired by Smith embracing their love for sex, with the musician adding “I’m a sexual person, I like sex.” “It’s something I’m teaching myself to not be ashamed of.”
Smith’s latest video follows the release of “Love Me More” and “Unholy” with Kim Petras, which will all be featured on Gloria, Sam’s first record in nearly three years.
In a press release about the full length, the UK superstar singer/songwriter stated “It feels like emotional, sexual, and spiritual liberation.” “It was beautiful, with this album, to sing freely again. Oddly, it feels like my first-ever record. And it feels like a coming of age.”
With Jessie Reyez as their opener, Sam Smith is scheduled to head on a North American tour
