Brace yourselves for the ultimate team-up: Sam Smith and Taeyeon, the South Korean queen, are joining forces to deliver a duet so powerful, your headphones might just spontaneously combust from sheer awesomeness.
Sam, who clearly woke up one day and said, “How can I make the world even more fabulous?” is celebrating the 10th anniversary of their debut album In the Lonely Hour like a true music legend—by joining forces with superstars from every corner of the globe. It’s like the Avengers of music, but with better outfits and a lot more vocal runs.
On Thursday (August 29), Sam decided to drop the mic (again) with none other than Taeyeon, the vocal powerhouse from Girls’ Generation, because why not? It’s 2024 and nothing makes sense anymore except this magical duet that we didn’t know we needed. Together, they’ve breathed new life into “I’m Not The Only One,” a song originally released in 2014 but now back like it’s had a full spa day and is feeling rejuvenated and ready to slay.
And, wait for it—this isn’t even Sam’s first stop on their international superstar collaboration world tour. Just last week, Sam hit us with a duet of “Stay With Me” featuring the legendary Japanese pop diva Hikaru Utada. Yes, you read that correctly. Feel free to swoon dramatically.
Sam’s got a Rolodex of collaborators that reads like the guest list at the coolest party you weren’t invited to, including icons like Mary J. Blige and John Legend. So what’s next? A collab with a Martian opera singer? Honestly, at this point, anything is possible.
So, buckle up, because Sam Smith is out here collecting legendary vocalists like they’re rare Pokémon, and we are 100% here for it.
