ED SHEERAN
LP x 2
X
2 x HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL LP
GREEN VINYL
LIMITED EDITION
X (multiply) 2014 album by Ed Sheeran.
It follows his critically acclaimed and hugely successful 2011
debut +; an album that was certified 6 times platinum in the UK
alone and has achieved worldwide sales of over 4 million
copies to date. It also saw Ed as the recipient of various
awards for the record, including 2 Brits, an Ivor
Novello and multiple Grammy nominations.
Never an artist to stand still, Ed recorded x at various locations
around the globe (all the while drawing on experiences and
influences encountered on his over three years of unrelenting
touring) with such luminary producers as Rick Rubin (Eminem,
Jay-Z, Red Hot Chilli Peppers), Pharrell Williams (Daft Punk, Robin
Thicke, N.E.R.D), Benny Blanco (Rhianna, Wiz Khalifa) and Jeff
Bhasker (Alicia Keys, Jay-Z) adding new flavours to the classy
work of key collaborators Johnny McDaid (Snow Patrol)
and Jake Gosling (who produced +). x has the musical
ingredients to make it one of the most important global
releases of this year.
The new set showcases the exponential growth (both vocally and
musically) of an incredible artist, who at 23 exhibits the poise
of a seasoned veteran. The songs for x came together whilst
touring + and, in the same way as the latter was a snapshot of
his life and relationship to-date, x charts his loves and life
since. Only 'One', the perfect album opener and first song
written for the record (in 2011 whilst on tour in Australia)
looks back to that time and is the link between the two
records. With 'One' under his belt, almost before he
noticed he was writing, Ed had ten new songs and counting.
The breath-taking album-closer ‘Afire Love’ was written about
his grandfather who passed away last Christmas. “Always
the hero of the family - such a cool guy - he'd been suffering
with Alzheimer’s for some time and I actually started writing
that song two weeks before he passed away," Ed says.
"I was thinking 'What if?' and then he did…” Then there is
the timeless ballad ‘Photograph’ written in May 2012 in a
hotel room in Kansas whilst on tour with Snow Patrol.
McDaid had a piano loop playing on his laptop while Ed was
making a Lego X-wing Fighter to give to a charity auction.
He just started singing as he put the pieces together and the
song grew from there. ‘Don’t’ started life as a riff on his phone
and grew into another of x’s massive moments. The deluxe
version of the album also includes the original song, ‘I See Fire’,
which Ed wrote, produced and recorded for the second Hobbit
movie. This was after Academy award-winning filmmaker
Peter Jackson personally commissioned him. With no
promotion besides 3 tweets from his personal twitter
account, it reached #2 on the UK iTunes chart.
However it’s the Pharrell-produced lead single 'Sing', due out
in the UK on June 1, that’s pushing the envelope for Ed. #Sing
was the number one trend on twitter globally ahead of launch
with the track immediately tearing up airwaves nationwide
including a 7-week add to Radio 1 and an unprecedented addition
straight to the Super Hit list at Capital FM and Kiss Network.
The audio upload on YouTube was Ed’s biggest ever video
launch, clocking 650k views in its first 24 hours. Already i-tunes
Top 5 in 15 different countries (number 3 in the US), Top 20 in 36
countries and with all chart positions climbing, ‘Sing’
is well on the way to being a global smash.
“I’m really proud of my new album and can’t wait for people to
hear it.” Ed says. “It’s definitely my best work.”
