Sam Smith recently teased the announcement of his long-awaited sophomore record with the release of lead single "Too Good at Goodbyes," and now the UK crooner has unveiled full details for the upcoming album. Titled The Thrill of It All, the LP is due out November 3 via Capitol.
 
It marks the follow-up to Smith's 2014 debut In the Lonely Hour. The standard album comprises 10 songs, though the singer has also revealed a 14-track deluxe edition. See the full tracklisting below. The album is available on vinyl and special edition CD via Umusic.
 
The album was recorded with Smith's longtime collaborator Jimmy Napes, though it also features additional production work from the likes of Timbaland, Malay, Jason "Poo Bear" Boyd and Stargate.
 
The latest single to arrive is a Timbaland-produced cut called "Pray," and you can stream it down below right now.
 
If that's not enough good news for Smith fans, the singer has also mapped out a rigorous round of world tour dates for 2018. The trek will kick off in Toronto on June 18, followed by other Canadian stops in Montreal on June 19, Vancouver on September 10, Edmonton on September 1, and the entire tour will wrap up in Calgary on September 13.
