Zohaib To celebrate Record Store Day 2025, multi-platinum, GRAMMY®, BRIT, Golden Globe, and Oscar-winning artist and songwriter Sam Smith will release a very special recording of their acclaimed BBC Proms performance from London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall on 2xLP vinyl on April 12th.
For their only UK live performance of 2024 at the illustrious BBC Proms, Sam was surrounded by full orchestral support as they took to the historical London stage to mark the 10th anniversary of the release of their debut album, In The Lonely Hour. In an undeniable, powerful, and gripping concert, Sam showcased some of their biggest and greatest global hits, joined by special guests to sing a selection of jazz and soul classics that shaped the early years of their musical journey – including a glorious cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” and hauntingly nostalgic version of “Over The Rainbow.”
Composed of two discs, the 17-track vinyl will be available in physical format from 12th April and on streaming platforms later this year. Accompanied on stage by their long-term touring band, as well as Simon Hale who Sam worked with on In The Lonely Hour, the record features a myriad of live versions from the British singer’s widvastscography of unforgettable penmanship, including the atmospheric “Too Good At Goodbyes’, soulfully resonant “I’m Not The Only One” and the GRAMMY® award-winning “Unholy”. To mark the occasion, Sam was dressed in bespoke Vivienne Westwood, with costumes imagined especially for them by the house’s Creative Director, Andreas Kronthaler. Currently available to view in the UK on BBC iPlayer, Sam’s Proms performance was recently featured on BBC 4, in preparation for this propitious physical vinyl release.
