If the rumours are to be believed, it looks as though Ed will release his new single 'Eyes Closed' on March 24th. It's apparently co-written with Max Martin, Shellbeck & Fred again..

So much for this album not chasing hits :lol: Interested nontheless. "Bad Habits" is probably one of my favourite singles of his so have high expectations for this.

I’m not really an Ed Sheeran fan but I’m intrigued to see what he comes out with. I have enjoyed some of his output.

Ooo so maybe a sort of dancy song, similar to bad habits? Could be good….

Is this the first time he's worked with Max Martin?

Nope! He produced I Don’t Care, Beautiful People, Remember the Name and Take Me Back to London. (As well as Ed’s feature on End Game).

Max Martin, Shellback & Fred again.. all worked with him before on "I Don't Care", "Beautiful People", "Take Me Back To London" and "Remember The Name"

This single has now been confirmed on his Instagram stories!

Pass the bucket!!!!

I'm quite interested to see what he delivers with this if it really is his first "authentic" work.

Unannounce it x

I find it difficult to believe this whole "oh I don't really care if I don't get a hit out of this one" schtick if i'm honest. Especially with a lead single with Max Martin & Fred Again... production.

As much as I like Ed. I do wish he'd stick to his word and have a break again. No doubt gonna have the end of year #1 sewn up again.

Apparently this was supposed to be on Equals, but was removed as he felt it didn’t fit the sound of the album. It’s also apparently the only non-Dessner track on Minus.

One would presume it’ll fit the sound of Subtract/Minus then.

Kinda feel sorry for Dressner

but just further proof that Ed has zero integrity and doesn't care if a piece of work is cohesive and only cares about chart positions sadly :/

Or you could wait until you hear it? :lol:

Having multiple producers on an album is hardly the end of the world :lol: Taylor had a few Jack Antonoff-produced tracks on folklore/evermore and it didn't make them any less cohesive or more chart-desperate.

I'm guessing that this is a leftover from Equals to hype the record and pre-orders. Then fans will once again receive a snooze.
