Sam Smith unleashes new single Gimme featuring Jessie Reyez & Koffee: Listen to the elastic synth anthem now

Sam Smith is ready to give you what you want - a massive banger, basically. 

Today (January 11), Sam issues the next single, Gimme, from their forthcoming new album, Gloria, featuring input from Jessie Reyez (a regular collaborator with Calvin Harris) and Koffee (who scored her first UK Top 10 album last year with Gifted). 

Written by Sam alongside their go-to co-writer Jimmy Napier (Disclosure, Stormzy) as well as Norwegian pop gods Stargate (Rihanna, Sia) who also helmed production on the cut, Gimme is a feather-light electronic pop song with bite. 

Accompanied by a shuddering, elasticated beat, we can hear Reyez's vocals being stretched as fine as glass over the chorus that's surely going to be stuck in everyone's head; "Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme what I want..."
