Sam Smith was trying to access their mum\u2019s \u201cfury and protection\u201d in new song Oh Mother. <\/p>\n
\nThe non-binary singer said in an interview with Sara Cox on BBC Radio 2 that they have a \u201cvery strong, beautiful relationship with my mother\u201d Kate Cassidy, and wanted to reflect that in the new tune. <\/p>\n
\nSam said: \u201cIn this song I was just trying to access my mum’s fury and protection that comes to save the day when a child gets hurt or heartbroken.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe Stay With Me star added that they\u2019re finding themselves getting more \u201cmaternal\u201d as they get older. <\/p>\n
\nSam, 34, said: \u201cAs I’m getting older I feel like I’m becoming more maternal and more definitely hungry one day to have children myself and things like that.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cSo it definitely felt like a maturing theme to step into for me, which was really great.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nDJ Sara replied: \u201cI mean, she’s there for you through the tough times and even you say as a kid, but even as a grown up, your mum’s always going to be there for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nTo which Sam said: \u201cOh my gosh, yeah, I mean my dad and my mum, my sisters, my whole family\u00a0have been a rock for me through everything I’ve gone through.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSam is gearing up to release their fifth studio album Hazel Eyes, and reflected recently on how their style has changed since bursting onto the music scene – both vocally and sartorially. <\/p>\n
\nThey told Variety: \u201cI feel like I\u2019m a\u00a0flow\u00a0person. That\u2019s the only way to explain it. Every day I wake up and I feel like a different me, and there\u2019s different things I want to wear. And I felt as though I was locked into a kind of a look for the first five years of my career, which I found so hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBefore adding: \u201cWe all make a choice every morning when we get up. In what we all wear, we all make a choice. And I\u2019m actually passionate about imploring people \u2014 if people don\u2019t want to, it\u2019s fine \u2014 that if you\u00a0do\u00a0want to, it is OK to start again! \u201cTo throw it out and start again, and choose a different character. Because it can be so wild when you do that. And the way people treat you or see you, it\u2019s really fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
