Sam Smith has unveiled their cover of Donna Summer’s iconic disco anthem, I Feel Love.
The modern reimagining of the 1977 classic follows Smith’s critically-acclaimed trap-pop single How Do You Sleep, and will be featured in Target’s holiday campaign, as well as the star’s upcoming third studio album.
In a statement on Twitter, Sam explained why the song was important for them record: “As a queer person ‘I Feel Love’ has followed me to every dance floor in every queer space from the minute I started clubbing.
“This song to me is an anthem of our community and it was an honour and most importantly so much fun to have a go at it. Highest song I’ve ever fucking sang. But a joy. I hope you all like it.”
In an interview with Zach Sang, Smith teased what we can expect from their upcoming album, which will be their first since 2017’s The Thrill of It All, which topped the charts in the United Kingdom and the United States.
“I feel like I have recently shown a side of me which I normally keep to myself or for my family and friends,” said Smith.
