Ed Sheeran

A stark, wintery pivot into grief and recovery. Stripping away the stadium-pop sheen for muted pianos, cello drones, and raw, finger-picked vulnerability.

May 5, 2023 · Asylum Records

Find on Amazon

A heavy, salt-stained vulnerability that finds beauty in the process of breaking down.

Moments Worth Listening For
The skeletal piano chords on 'Salt Water' that feel like sinking slowly into cold ocean depths.
The way 'The Hills of Aberfeldy' strips everything back to a traditional folk lilt, closing the era with a Celtic sigh.
The sudden, desperate surge of strings during the bridge of 'End of Youth' capturing the panic of growing up too fast.

The writing leans far further into grief than the rest of the catalogue.
