Sam Smith 'To Be Free' by (LA)HORDE
Promonews - 12th Aug 2025
Sam Smith reunites with regular collaborators, the French contemporary dance collective and directors (LA)HORDE, to launch a new chapter in their journey, for the gospel-inspired To Be Free.
Filmed at the Warsaw concert venue in Brooklyn, the visual stays true to the purity and simplicity of the song and its production, as a crowd gathers at the venue and are revealed to be a choir - the TwoCity Chorus - who join Sam on stage.
And then their performance evolves into a joyous communal event.
