album&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><em>\u2018Play\u2019<\/em><\/strong><strong>&nbsp;will be released on 12th September 2025. (<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/es.lnk.to\/playPR\"><strong>Pre-order here<\/strong><\/a><strong>).&nbsp; To mark the occasion he has released a new single&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><em>\u2018Old Phone\u2019<\/em><\/strong><strong>&nbsp; (<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/es.lnk.to\/oldphone\"><strong>listen here<\/strong><\/a><strong>).&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After closing the chapter on his&nbsp;<em>Mathematics<\/em>&nbsp;series, Ed Sheeran is finally back and stepping boldly into a fresh new phase for 2025. &nbsp; An artist known for constantly evolving, Sheeran\u2019s latest album,<strong><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/es.lnk.to\/playPR\"><strong><em>&#8216;Play&#8217;<\/em><\/strong><\/a>&nbsp; finds him exploring new musical ground through collaboration with producers and musicians from around the world, as well as diving deeper into the timeless sounds and themes that have made him one of the world\u2019s best-loved pop artists. Inspired in part by his exposure to Indian and Persian musical cultures\u2014and their surprising connections to the Irish folk tradition he grew up with, through shared scales, rhythms, and melodies\u2014he explored this borderless musical language, giving the album its distinctive, fresh edge.&nbsp; On more familiar ground, Sheeran also reminds us why he remains the most influential singer-songwriter of his generation, delivering a series of stunning ballads and acoustic-driven songs. The result is a collection that plays with both the familiar and the new, creating a bold, pop-driven sound that only Ed Sheeran could deliver \u2014 a vibrant showcase of his artistry that feels both exciting and transformative, and promises to be one of the defining albums of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ed said\u2026\u201d<em>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. I made this record all over the world, finished it in Goa, India, and had some of the most fun, explorative creative days of my life. It\u2019s 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. Going into this album campaign I said to myself \u2018I just want everything I do to be fun and playful\u2019 &#8211; so that\u2019s why we are building pubs for folk jams, doing gigs on open top buses and singing in pink cowboy hats on bars. The older I get the more I just want to enjoy things, and savour the moments that are mad and chaotic. You can preorder play now, many many more playful things to come before it\u2019s out x\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the release of his global,&nbsp;hedonistic, technicolor pop&nbsp;hit&nbsp;<em>\u2019Azizam\u2019,<\/em>&nbsp;Sheeran gets nostalgic on his brand new single&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/es.lnk.to\/oldphone\"><strong><em>\u2018Old Phone\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em>,&nbsp;<\/em>narrating the disorienting act of reconnecting with his past.
