Smith’s latest album ‘Gloria’ was released on January 27 this year, and is the singer’s fourth album. The album features the worldwide smash hit ‘Unholy.’ Other songs on the album include ‘I’m Not Here to Make Friends,’ and ‘Who We Love.’

Smith last visited Thailand in December last year. They caused quite a stir among their Thai fans after pictures emerged of their holiday in Koh Samui in the southern province of Surat Thani. Smith was snapped on a motorcycle around the island where it appeared he is in Thailand for more than just “The Thrill of it All.”

Many Thai netizens commented, “Welcome to Thailand” and “Welcome to Samui” while many others invited Smith to check out other provinces in the south.
