American singer, Ed Sheeran has dropped the long-awaited new album titled ‘Play.’ Listen to the full album below.
“Play was an album that was made as a direct response to the darkest period of my life. Coming out of all of that I just wanted to create joy and technicolour, and explore cultures in the countries I was touring,” he wrote in an Instagram post earlier in the year. “It’s a real rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish, it encapsulates everything that I love about music, and the fun in it, but also where I am in life as a human, a partner, a father.”
Inspired in part by Indian and Persian musical influences, Play marks the beginning of a bold new era for Ed Sheeran. The project follows the conclusion of his massively successful Mathematics series, opening an exciting new chapter in his career.
With Play, Sheeran will hope to extend his perfect streak in his homeland and Australia, where all of his studio albums have topped the national charts, including his most recent effort, 2023’s Autumn Variations.
The album features 13 tracks, including:
- Opening
- Sapphire
- Azizam
- Old Phone
- Symmetry
- Camera
- In Other Words
- A Little More
- Slowly
- Don’t Look Down
- The Vow
- For Always
- Heaven
