January 21, 20178 yr Album cover and artwork revealed on Graham Norton tonight! Ed revealed the artwork over a week ago... it's been up for Pre Order since...
January 21, 20178 yr I'll be interested to see where he goes artistically after album number four. I guess Subtract is the inevitable conclusion to this series. He can have that for free, save himself money on a graphic designer in three years time!
January 22, 20178 yr He realllly wants Castle On The Hill to climb to #1 doesn't he, it's like he's just letting Shape Of You do it's own thing and pretending that Castle is the main single :lol: It's surely too far adrift on sales and streams to catch up, even with the promo/video etc...
January 22, 20178 yr Tbf, from what I have read, 'Shape Of You' was the last song he did for the era and almost gave it away to someone else, but Ed played it to the label as a "surprise" and the label jumped on it and obviously got him to keep it for himself! So, I think COTH was always meant to be the lead single and SOY just seemed to have happened! Had he kept SOY out of the company's reach and never played it to them, I think he would've just released COTH instead as opposed to two new songs like he did! EDIT: Oh and I can already envision all the Buzzfeed type articles swooning over the video :lol:
January 23, 20178 yr The vid is good, it's a bit PG-rated Skins-esque but it's a good nod to his youth and his local area. K0ibBPhiaG0
January 23, 20178 yr This will be out 3rd March according to Music Week. The titles of the deluxe tracks are: 13. Barcelona 14. Bibia Be Ye Ye 15. Nancy Mulligan 16. Save Myself I really hope Galway Girl is a cover, a version of it made top 75 here somewhat unexpectedly in 2008 (despite being a huge No.1 in Ireland) but deserves to be much better known in the UK. Multiple plays later and 'Shape Of You' is yet to make any sort of impression on me, and despite the sentimentality throughout 'Castle On The Hill', it's only the chorus that resonates. That chorus is properly gorgeous though <3 and it's exciting to witness the scale of his chart dominance with both tracks regardless. Not sure the cover has been confirmed yet but all signs point to that being the case, especially as he's filming a video in Ireland and needs Irish dancers ;o. This song is pretty much a staple closer in any unpretentious Irish club and always gets a massive reception, so I'm intrigued to hear and see what Ed does with it! Can't reveal sources, but I can confirm that Galway Girl is not a cover of that Galway Girl. It's an Ed Sheeran original, performed with Beoga, an Irish band. Haven't heard it myself, but my Dad has, and says it is an original, and thinks it will be huge. One of the lyrics is "She played the fiddle, and came from Ireland, and fell in love with an English man". They are definitely not in the original! Edited January 23, 20178 yr by DannyAdelante
January 23, 20178 yr That's a shame, but interesting at the same time, I guess a cover midway through one of his albums might have seemed odd anyway, he's not exactly known for doing them.
January 23, 20178 yr The video is pretty much exactly what I expected! :lol: But it's a very sweet video. Great casting too! The guy who plays younger Ed looks exactly like him haha. Maybe Mikey is right and all gingers DO look like each other :o :o :o

January 30, 20178 yr Ed Sheeran says that Adele is the only artist within the past 10 years to outsell him. Is this true? :lol:
January 31, 20178 yr I feel like I can now hear 'No Scrubs' in 'Shape of You' ("Girl, you know I want your love / Your love was handmade for somebody like me" sounds similar to "No, I don't want no scrub / A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me").
January 31, 20178 yr Good luck to anyone trying for tickets on Thursday. I was lucky enough to get some in the pre-sale, the website crashed completely for everyone, then after that it was pot luck. See you all in Manchester!
January 31, 20178 yr I've seen lots of people saying the site crashed for them but it worked fine for me? I got 4 seated tickets from Eventim's site with no problems.
February 2, 20178 yr I'll be interested to see where he goes artistically after album number four. I guess Subtract is the inevitable conclusion to this series. Like Adele he seems to save all his creativity for his music, rather than album titles! :lol:
February 2, 20178 yr I didn't get any tickets despite trying at 10am on the dot...that's all of his tours in a row since 2011 I've missed for the same reason :lol: I can only hope that one of these days it will be made illegal to sell on concert tickets at more than face value... Edited February 2, 20178 yr by gooddelta
February 9, 20178 yr Galantis Remix of Shape Of You is out tomorrow! That sounds like it has the potential to be good!
