His social media accounts have all changed to a pale blue square, year on from his hiatus announcement. Amy Wadge who he co-wrote "Thinking Out Loud" with has also confirmed the album is "pretty much done".

 

And he's also heavily rumoured to be headlining the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury next year. I so need to see him live on this album era! Be good having Ed back :D

A January release would be huge - 6 weeks at the top!

I was quite enjoying having a break from him tbh :(.

I liked the last era way more than I was expecting to, let's see what this brings.

Please keep it

If it's anyway decent with hit potential it could sell 200k first week!

I'm here for something like 'Sing'. The ballads can just DIE please.

Hope this will be good. :)

Whenever someone posts in here I pray it's a single announcement :heehee:

Just for this week though, right?

100% agree with this.

I don't think I can cope with another era from him. Don't was his death

So what will follow + and X? / or - ?

Would love a song as personal and moving as 'Photograph' again. The progression in that song is stunning. Looking forward to hearing what he brings, coz 'x' was a really good album!

I am looking forward to this, i love his x album, but i prefer the ballads.

Looking forward to hear what he comes back with. He's grown on me and find him a versatile artist. Admire him for releasing outside the 4th quarter, not that he needs to.

So what will follow + and X? / or - ?

His songs have certainly been hit and miss for me. As long as it doesn't spend half a year in the charts I'll be happy

So what will follow + and X? / or - ?

It's got to be everyone's favourite: ~

Same here! Didn't like his first album at all (actively hated him at that time, in fact), but 'I See Fire', 'Don't', 'Sing' and 'Thinking Out Loud' were good singles and there were some great album tracks on 'X' ('Afire Love' and 'Runaway' being my favorites).
