January 4, 20178 yr I didn't realise it was on the radio 2 playlist which as you say seems like a more conventional style release. I expect radio 1 will A list it immediately!
January 4, 20178 yr R1 will make that or Major Lazer Friday's TOTD Assumably Major Lazer will be Saturday, as they tend to pick a rap/r&b track as TOTD on Saturdays usually, so it'll be the logical move :D
January 5, 20178 yr TOTDs don't matter on Fridays because new songs by big artists get the same amount of plays anyway.
January 5, 20178 yr Ed's been working in the studio with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Rudimental, Nicole Scherzinger, Tori Kelly, Beyoncé, Kygo and Martin Garrix! Bloody hell, should be some ace collaborations on the album - plus the last two hint to us that he is indeed sticking mainstream, might even be going tropical :cheer: Just for the record, here're the registered tracks from Ed recently~ 21st Century Fox | Ed Sheeran, Jethro James Sheeran & Jaja Soze Brother’s Blood | Edward Sheeran & Benjamin Levin City Lights | Jake Gosling, Tayo Jarrett & Edward Sheeran Fall | Ed Sheeran & Amy Wadge Follow The Girl | Ed Sheeran, Rupert Christie NEW Jigsaw | Ed Sheeran & Jake Gosling NEW Laura | Edward Sheeran & Amy Wadge Learning to Count | Edward Sheeran & Amy Wadge Lift Me Up | Jake Gosling & Edward Sheeran Make Me Better | Ed Sheeran, James Blount & Johnny McDaid NEW Replay Rewind | Martijn Garristen, Edward Sheeran & Amy Wadge Social Worker | Ed Sheeran & Jake Gosling NEW Stranger | Edward Sheeran & Benny Blanco Sure | Ed Sheeran Ticket in the Tin | Jonathan Green, Edward Sheeran & Jack McManus West Coast of Clare | Ed Sheeran What I Want | Charles Igleby & Edward Sheeran Nice to see there definitely IS a song recorded with Martin Garrix! :cheer: (Replay Rewing) Is Twenty First Century Fox about the part Murdoch family controlled TV company? Why is he going tropical, tropical house will be finished soon as a chart force anyway (its place is being taken over by future bass)?
January 5, 20178 yr oh wow 'Rewind Repeat It' is finally happening then!! Although under a different name, but still - it's been teased for years.
January 5, 20178 yr I'm expecting it to be the album pre-order and the new single as an instant grat. He's been teasing lyrics recently and it's playlisted on Radio 2 already (albeit without a track name), so I think that rules out an album release!Tbf, they could be playlisting the whole album. Just like what happened with Beyonce - Lemonade. I dunno, it probs will turn out to be just one song and a pre-order, but some things are pointing towards this being an album. He's hosting the BBC R1 Breakfast show tomorrow, to play new music. The fact they say "music" instead of "song" makes me think its ab album :lol:
January 5, 20178 yr Ed Sheeran is probably one of a few people who could pull off releasing a whole album at once without there being a lead single, he'd probably get about half his album in the official top 40 with streams and cherry picking!!
January 5, 20178 yr The fact they say "music" instead of "song" makes me think its ab album :lol: This is what I'm finding most intriguing, everywhere is just saying "music" which is very vague, so it could well be an album after all. Time will tell I guess!
January 5, 20178 yr That would certainly be a way to return from a total break from the limelight - he was off social media for a while as well! *.* Either way I can't wait but the whole album being dropped would slay me.
January 5, 20178 yr Yeah those sound like two different intros as if he is teasing the album rather than the song, I am really thinking it could be the album :o It could just be album pre-order and a single as the instant grat with the other song just being a different teaser for the album, but it's the "music" rather than "song" that's really raising my suspicions.
January 5, 20178 yr Looks most likely that he's releasing at least two tracks tomorrow, very excited although it'd be a shame if this lack of sole focus on a song means he misses #1. Edited January 5, 20178 yr by mdh
January 5, 20178 yr Very excited. The first one sounds like it could be quite anthemic similarly to 'I Will Wait' by Mumford and Sons. The 2nd one reminds me (ever so slightly) of 'Be Alright' by Ariana mixed with a bit of 'Cheap Thrills'! (Tropical influence but not a tropical song)
January 5, 20178 yr Looks like it'll be the whole album going by what's being said/those teasers! Guessing it's 5am 6th January so it can be released everywhere WW at the same time?
