Grammy-winning vocalist Sam Smith returns with “Oh Mother,” a powerhouse single released on July 22, 2026, via Capitol Records.
Featuring the 28-member vocal collective The TwoCity Chorus, the track serves as the second official release from Smith’s upcoming 12-track fifth studio album, Hazel Eyes, scheduled to arrive on August 21.
Co-produced by Smith alongside David Odlum and Simon Aldred, the song blends thundering piano arrangements, fuzzed guitar riffs, and heavy hand percussion with cinematic strings arranged by composer Gabe Noel.
Additional backing vocals are provided by friend Donté McGuine, adding further depth to the arrangement.
Lyrically, the track moves through themes of personal betrayal and heartbreak, transforming grief into an uplifting declaration of maternal comfort and protective strength.
Driven by a soaring call-and-response between Smith and the choir, this standalone single highlights the organic, live instrumentation that defines their new era.
