Ed Sheeran releases his new album Play: ‘It made me fall in love with fun again’
Ed Sheeran, the English singer-songwriter behind hits like “Shape of You,” has just dropped his exciting new album, “Play.” Fresh off wrapping up his Mathematics series, this release takes fans on a global musical adventure.
For “Play,” Ed teamed up with producers and musicians from around the world, blending fresh sounds into something truly unique. He drew inspiration from Indian and Persian music traditions, mixing them with the Irish folk vibes he grew up loving. The result? A borderless sound that feels vibrant and full of life.
In a heartfelt social media post, Ed opened up about creating the album. He shared how it reignited his passion for fun after the heavy emotions of his previous work on “Subtract.” “Play is the album that’s made me fall in love with fun again,” he wrote. “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.”
Ed went on to describe his joy in the process: “I’ve loved making this record, and the last 6 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.” He hopes listeners feel the same spark and thanked his talented collaborators and fans who joined pop-up events along the way. “Play is out now—lemme know in the comments what your fave song is!”

What a masterpiece.”
