AMAZON PRIDE

To celebrate Pride month, Sam Smith has recorded an Amazon Original cover of “Beautiful,” written by Linda Perry and initially performed in 2002 by Christina Aguilera.

“I will never forget the first time I heard ‘Beautiful’ and how personally it spoke to me,” Smith said. “The song is a true acceptance anthem and continues to inspire me with its important message to never stop celebrating who you are. I’m honored to have the opportunity to offer my rendition.”

Smith's "Beautiful" leads Amazon Music's "PROUD" playlist, which features new work by LGBTQ+ creators. Clocking in at nearly six hours, it includes 100 songs from the likes of Kim Petras, Steve Lacy, Pet Shop Boys and Brandi Carlile.

Find Smith's stripped-down version of "Beautiful" below. Unfortunately, words can bring us down.
