Sam Smith has written three new songs , set to be back

Sam Smith is set to come back with some new heartbreak ballads after a NINE month break from the music industry.

The global superstar , who has been letting his hair down and spending time with family during his time off, has reportedly written three new tracks with In The Lonely Hour producer Eg White after working with him on his 2014 debut album.

According to The Sun Online , the songs, I Want What You Have, I Want You Dirty and Give A, have been registered with the star as the performer and Eg, aka Anthony Francis White, as co-writer.

Sam, 24, spoke about his break after winning the Best Original Song Oscar 2016 for Bond song The Writing's On The Wall back in February.

He said: "I'm trying to live as well a little bit, and I think next month I’m going to force myself to just stay at home and see my mum and dad and my sisters.

"I feel like I've missed out on their lives a bit the last few years, so that’s my plan."

And the star has certainly been keeping it real during his break, even shunning all the glitzy and glamour of his A-list lifestyle in favour of a Ryanair flight.

He was snapped earlier this year flying with the budget airline as he made his way back from Italy and the photo was then posted to Twitter.

"Mate coming back from Italy. Sam Smith on her Ryanair flight. Grounded guy, it seems, even when he's up in the air," joked the user

The singer has been largely silent on social media in recent months after announcing in March: "I'm logging off for a while. Some Martinis shaken not stirred are definitely in order."

He only surfaced briefly in June to pay his respects to the victims of the Orlando massacre victims.
