Sam Smith has released When He’s Gone, the third single from their fifth studio album, Hazel Eyes, scheduled for 21 August. The track opens with finger-picked guitar, followed by drums and backing vocals supporting Smith’s tenor. Smith described it as a more melancholy song from an album examining different shades of relationships. It was recorded live without a click track.
The single follows My Guy and Oh Mother. David Odlum and Simon Aldred co-produced the album, which also includes collaborations with Feist and Rob Moose. Smith has planned mini residencies in Mexico and the UK through September. No reviews, audience response or chart performance have been reported yet.
Promotional descriptions of mood and recording methods are not a substitute for independent reviews or listener response. The absence of chart figures also makes early claims about the song’s reach premature. The album’s collaborators and live plans offer useful context, but the clearer test will come after 21 August, when reviews, streaming figures and audience reaction show whether Hazel Eyes extends beyond its publicity.
