Even the singer’s sunniest tracks (“Can’t Feel My Face,” “Starboy”) feel anchored by darkness—the sense that pleasure is pain and beauty decays and you can’t have the night without the morning after. The brainchild of Toronto singer Abel Tesfaye, the project took off in 2011 with a string of mixtapes (later collected as 2012’s Trilogy) that forged cavernous, falsetto-driven R&B with narratives drenched in drugs, sex, and other regrettable decisions—a sound both sensuous and detached, featherlight and dead heavy. One of the earliest musicians to find his footing on the internet, Tesfaye originally offered his music through YouTube and free downloads, a move that felt radical then but is common now. Ethiopian by heritage (his parents immigrated to Canada in the late ’80s, just before he was born), Tesfaye—out from behind the mask of making art online—has since come to represent the changing face of Toronto, rooting himself not just in an international musical community but in a specific diasporic experience. Like the work of collaborator Lana Del Rey or early booster (and fellow Toronto native) Drake, Tesfaye’s music has become a symbol of hedonism pushed to bleak excess, with a series of albums—including 2015’s Grammy-winning Beauty Behind the Madness, 2016’s multiplatinum Starboy, and 2020’s dense and atmospheric After Hours—whose narrators can’t seem to say no even if they hate themselves for it later. And though his music has gotten a little brighter over time, the prevailing mood remains heavy, even unsettling—the ride you want more of even when you’ve had too much. Speaking to Apple Music about the persona behind his songs, Tesfaye said, “I’m a chill person. That guy is who I am, but it is who I am to myself and in my writing. Sometimes you take him and then you create more, and then it becomes this beast. You add more to him, and then it’s uncontrollable—its own character. It’s like Scarface, the villain: It’s horrible, but you can’t stop looking at it.” - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2012 37 Crew Love (Drake feat.

July 2, 20214 yr You should listen, I unashamedly love his latest album. It's worrying close to Michael Bolton goes disco at times but it's undeniably catchy. Its amazing :wub:
July 2, 20214 yr 'Heartbreak Anthem' bores me rigid now, even though I really loved it in the beginning. :( Happy to see it doing so well regardless though!
July 2, 20214 yr It's insane to me that Save Your Tears is the 3rd most popular song in the UK in July 2021. I remember hammering it at the start of the first lockdown last year. :lol: I love it when a post album single becomes a smash. Save Your Tears, Levitating, Confetti....long may artists continue to push their albums even after it's been released!
July 2, 20214 yr Lurking Sheeran.... don't get any ideas from these comments about half time performances at England matches!
July 2, 20214 yr Some very rushed edits being played this afternoon (because of the Ed interviews obviously)
July 2, 20214 yr Lurking Sheeran.... don't get any ideas from these comments about half time performances at England matches! A duo with his mate David Beckham :lol: It's got to be better than a duet with Mrs Beckham :P

I’m 18 years old and writing songs is my favorite thing to do in the world. I’ve been doing it for as long as I can remember and I fall more in love with it every day. The first song I ever got published was called “All I Want.” I wrote it for a show I act in and it was a super cool experience that opened up a lot of doors for me. On the last day before Covid lockdown, I met the team at Interscope/Geffen records and a producer named Dan Nigro for the first time. It turned out to be a very momentous day for so many reasons. I spent most of quarantine writing songs in my living room and producing them in a garage, including ‘drivers license’. It was always a really special song to me but I never expected the response it got. It absolutely blew my mind and I still to this day refuse to believe it all actually happened. The day I am writing this is actually the day that I turn in my debut album! I’m sooo excited for you to hear it and I feel so grateful that I get to make music for my job. - Spotify Top 100 Chart History 2020 32 All I Want -OST- 2021 01 drivers license -1- MILLIONAIRE 2021 04 deja vu -2- 2021 01 good 4 u -3- 2021 05 traitor -AT- 2021 17 favorite crime -AT- 2 x #1 | 4 x Top 5 | 4 x Top 10 | 5 x Top 20 | 6 x Top 40 | 6 x Top 100 Social Media Olivia Rodrigo http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/uploads/group_images/of_269.png
July 2, 20214 yr 01 | | 1st week Ed Sheeran Bad Habits 1st single from forthcoming studio album Released: 25th June 2021 Label: Asylum Records UK Chart Statistics NE (08/07/2021) | 1 Sales: - Certification: - Status: Standard Chart Ratio TBA Sales TBA Audio Streaming TBA Video Streaming Video orJSJGHjBLI Biography There’s a lovely moment a little ways into Apple Music’s Songwriter documentary about Ed Sheeran in which Sheeran, jet-lagged and carrying a cup of tea, straggles out into a yard in Malibu at dawn, sits down at his laptop and begins writing a song about the moment right in front of him: the crisp air, the birdsong, the hot tea, the day ahead. He gets a full verse in, melody and all, then pauses. “Songs are weird things,” he says. “How so?” an interviewer asks. “They just come and go,” Sheeran says, smiling. “And they never give you any warning.” For Sheeran, they seem to come pretty reliably. Born in 1991 in Halifax, England, he started out gigging on the UK pub circuit before releasing his first studio album, +, in 2011, and has since become one of the most unstoppable singer-songwriters in music, forging a light blend of folk, pop, hip-hop and dance that feels slick but lived-in, intimate but universal. Whether on his own (“Sing”, “The A Team”, “Shape of You”, “Perfect”) or in collaboration with artists from Taylor Swift to Eminem to Justin Bieber, Sheeran has a unique ability to strike a chord that feels both bittersweet and redemptive, good-natured and genuine: the hopeless romantic who convinces you he might just be right. In 2017, he was made a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, touching Prince Charles on the arm while shaking his hand—a breach of royal protocol, and an appealingly human one at that. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2011 03 The A Team -1- MILLION SELLER 2011 35 Hush Little Baby (Wretch 32 feat.

July 2, 20214 yr A 10th #1 hit for Ed Sheeran I actually liked 'Afterglow' more than this new one lol but it's grown on me a bit since first listen. 'good 4 u' :wub:
July 2, 20214 yr I'm OK with Ed being #1, he's had MUCH worse songs be #1 in the past and I actually quite like this.
July 2, 20214 yr Well done Ed on 10 UK number one singles, quite the total. Not many have acheived that longevity!
