12 Questions will be the debut album under Smith's Future Utopia project, and he's shared two tracks from the LP along with the announcement - "Do We Really Care? Pt. 1", which features Tom Grennan and Tia Carys, and sees Grennan interpolate The Lovin' Spoonful's "Summer in the City", and "Do We Really Care? Pt. 2", a collaboration with Simon Armitage.

Smith's Future Utopia artist project will feature a huge range of collaborators, inclduing Arlo Parks, Stormzy, Kojey Radical, Dave, Easy Life, Idris Elba, Kano, Dan Smith of Bastille, and more.

According to a press release, 12 Questions is based on a series of questions that Smith presents to different collaborators.

He says of the LP, "I made this record not because I could but because I had to - there was no other way to progress. It’s the most ambitious, exciting and terrifying thing I’ve ever done. Creatively, it’s a colourful musical playground - the culmination of everything I’ve learned over my career, from 70’s progressive rock to hip hop. Culturally, it’s a celebration of humanity, whilst shining a light on some of the cruel injustices in the world. I’m so proud and humbled by the hugely diverse group of collaborators who have spoken their truths on the album. I hope the answers will enlighten the listeners and stir debate."
