Ed Sheerans’ hugely anticipated second album, X;
pronounced multiply has a release date.
We’re ridiculously excited!
Although don’t get too excited, there’s a little
wait yet. The album is due for UK release on the 23rd June, that’s
only 61 days… the countdown begins.
Eds’ first album was a huge success going 6 times
platinum in the UK alone; that’s quite a lot of ears being made happy. So if
that’s anything to go by we predict a few sales records might just be broken.
X was recorded in locations all around the globe
and boasts a wealth of experienced and critically acclaimed individuals being
involved.; Rick Rubin, Benny Blanco and Jeff Bhasker all had a hand in
producing the album. Let’s not forget Pharrell though, whatever he touches at
the minute is an instant hit. Pharrell has produced Eds’ lead single ‘Sing’
that is due for release in the UK on the 1st of June; it’s already
an Internet hit after the audio was posted on YouTube. It’s quite frankly
bloody brilliant.
The album includes a personal song to Ed ‘Afire
Love’ which he wrote about his grandfather who sadly passed away last
Christmas. With his way with beautiful lyrics and that sentiment, it’s going to
be a heartfelt favourite. Another track, ‘Photograph’ is a timeless ballad that
was actually written back in 2012 in a hotel room in Kansas whilst he was
touring with Snow Patrol. The track ‘Don’t’ was born from a riff on his phone
but is set to be one of the albums biggest songs.
Our ears have been crying out for some new Ed
Sheeran material for a while now and we can finally get excited for just that!
