Ed Sheerannbspis set to release his new albumnbsplsquolsquo Subtractnbsp the last in his decadespanning mathematical album era onnbsp5 May 2023nbspthroughnbspAsylumAtlantic on vinyl, cassette and CD. An album that revisits Edrsquos singersongwriter roots, and one that was written against a backdrop of personal grief and hope, lsquorsquo Subtract presents one of the biggest stars on the planet at his most vulnerable and honest.In Edrsquos own words nbspldquoI had been working on Subtract for a decade, trying to sculpt the perfect acoustic album, writing and recording hundreds of songs with a clear vision of what I thought it should be. Then at the start of 2022, a series of events changed my life, my mental health, and ultimately the way I viewed music and art.Writing songs is my therapy. It helps me make sense of my feelings. I wrote without thought of what the songs would be, I just wrote whatever tumbled out. And in just over a week, I replaced a decadersquos worth of work with my deepest darkest thoughts.Within the space of a month, my pregnant wife got told she had a tumour, with no route to treatment until after the birth. My best friend Jamal, a brother to me, died suddenly and I found myself standing in court defending my integrity and career as a songwriter. I was spiralling through fear, depression and anxiety.I felt like I was drowning, head below the surface, looking up but not being able to break through for air.As an artist I didnrsquot feel like I could credibly put a body of work into the world that didnrsquot accurately represent where I am and how I need to express myself at this point in my life. This album is purely that. Itrsquos opening the trapdoor into my soul. For the first time Irsquom not trying to craft an album people will like, Irsquom merely putting something out thatrsquos honest and true to where I am in my adult life.This is last Februaryrsquos diary entry and my way of making sense of it. This is Subtract.rdquoSince he first learntnbsplsquoLaylarsquonbspby Eric Clapton on guitar at the age of 12yearsold, Sheeranrsquos love of the singersongwriter began. Growing up with the likes of Damian Rice, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan playing on repeat in his parentsrsquo house ndash artists that his dad, John, introduced him to ndash lsquolsquowasnbspalwaysnbspon Edrsquos horizon. Yet as the songs and writing process took on a whole new meaning and direction after a series of hardhitting events impacted Edrsquos world in 2022, one thing that remained untouched was his strong desire to make a record anchored in his love of singersongwriter compositions. And now, as he gearsup for the release of his most soulbaring work to date, lsquolsquo serves as a timely reminder for why Sheeran remains one of the most gifted lyricists of his generation an artist who breaks down his own experiences for fans to seek comfort and belonging.lsquolsquo is the result of Sheeran pushing the boundaries of his songcraft, as he delivers the most profound songwriting of his career. Teamingup with Aaron Dessner The National on writing and production after the pair joined forces following an introduction from mutual friend Taylor Swift, Ed and Aaron began crafting the album in February last year. Writing over 30 songs during their monthlong studio stint, the albumrsquos fourteen tracks are seamlessly tied together by exquisite production from paired back, folkleaning textures to bolder, fullbandorchestral arrangements.Ed Sheeran burst onto the UK music scene in 2011 with his debut album lsquorsquo. Rapidly establishing himself as a historymaking artist, he followed with lsquoxrsquo, lsquodividersquo, lsquoNo.6 Collaborations Projectrsquo and lsquorsquo a catalogue that has seen Sheeran become one of the worldrsquos biggest musical success stories of the 21stnbspcentury.
