I still think Perfect reallllly feels like something Westlife or Boyzone would have released in the late 90s, so dated and straight from the Steve Mac 'boyband November ballad' production line. Not that I don't like it though, but only Ed could get away with making something like this a hit in 2017!

Oh goodness, this isn't good news - Ed was involved in an accident on his bike this morning - looks like some of his tour dates might be affected as a result:

 

 

Hope it heals up OK. Poor lamb :(

That should lower the amount of cases of hearing loss then

Ed came to my work as a result of his injury :lol:

Perfect video is here

 

The return of the winter themed pop video. Everything about this release is so late 90s :lol:

everything is sooooo westlife, it isn't even funny

everything is sooooo westlife, it isn't even funny

 

Literally came here to post this.

Perfect is actually turning into one of his better ballads for me. I'll prob be hating it in 2 months time but it's not insta-hate like with I See Fire, Photograph & Boring Out Loud...

This just screams Wham! - Last Christmas, but I love it.

Acoustic Version and Mike Perry Remix of Perfect are out tomorrow

He's even given it a Christmas video!

I See Fire and Photograph were literally the worst. Even the Kygo & Feliz Jaehn remixes (respectively) couldn't bring them to anything more than mediocre. Thinking Out Loud remains a great song but it's one I never find myself going back to.

ffs everything about "Perfect" is just so cash in :')

A Justin Bieber collab perhaps?

oh my, he really wants the xmas #1 :/

 

I used to like ed, loved the a-team and some other oldies like Give me love, Photograph

but this one is too Westlife and the lyrics are terrible, his worst ever

 

a duet with Taylor could save the song

but if it's with Bieber, it will be even worst

 

but not sure what does it mean to do a despacito???

 

to make it sound latin? or to add bieber?

Maybe he means ensure he gets 15 weeks at #1.

the bit that goes

"I wanna find a woman to carry love, to carry children"

I can't, that's the wrorst song lyrics ever

I don't mind the song but it's so cheesy, like Westlife could have had a #1 with it in 2002 :lol: Thinking Out Loud at least felt a bit timeless, like it had a bit of a 70s vibe to it, however boring and overplayed it got.
