After successfully wrapping up his Mathematics series, English singer and songwriter Ed Sheeran has released his new album, titled Play. 

For his latest venture, Sheeran has explored new musical ground by collaborating with producers and musicians from across the globe.


Taking inspiration from his exposure to Indian and Persian musical cultures and their connections to the Irish folk tradition he grew up with, Sheeran has explored a borderless musical language, giving the album a distinctive edge.



Talking about his latest musical venture, he wrote a note on social media. “Play is the album that’s made me fall in love with fun again. Writing and recording Subtract was so cathartic but also so heavy. Going into Stereo after Mathematics ended I wanted to start with the polar opposite. Play celebrates love, life, culture, exploring, creativity, and technicolour,” he penned.

Sharing his experience of working on Play, he added, “I’ve loved making this record and the last six months have been just what I needed to get back into the swing of things — to reheat my love for pop, and popping up. It’s an album I’m immensely proud of, and just makes me feel good.”

Hoping that the album strikes a chord with the listeners, the singer said, “I hope it does the same for you. Thank you to all my insanely talented collaborators, and all the fans along the journey who have been at all our pop-ups. More to come.”
