Sam Smith's second album to be released in 2016

Grammy-winning singer Sam Smith has revealed he is working on his second album and believes it will be ready for release in "the next year or so".

The 'Writing's On The Wall' hitmaker, 23, rubbished claims that he is planning to follow in the footsteps of fellow James Bond theme-song writer Adele by taking a break from the music industry, was reported.

"I'm not going away for a very long time. I've heard some people say that I'm not making an album for a long while but that is false. I'm already writing my album. I've got the title and I've got two songs I'm absolutely in love with. I'm a songwriter and an artist and I think and breathe my second record every day of my life. I will bring my album out in the next year or so, but it's not going to be immediate because I think people are going to get sick of me if I brought an album out next week."
