Description Subtract White Vinyl (Ed Sheeran)An album that revisits Eds singer/songwriter roots, and one that was written against a backdrop of personal grief and hope, – presents one of the biggest stars on the planet at his most vulnerable and honest.Since he first learned to play Layla by Eric Clapton on guitar at the age of 12-years-old, Sheerans love of the singer/songwriter began. Growing up with the likes of Damian Rice, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan playing on repeat in his parents house artists that his dad, John, introduced him to – was always on Eds horizon. Yet as the songs and writing process took on a whole new meaning and direction after a series of hard-hitting events impacted Eds world in 2022, one thing that remained untouched was his strong desire to make a record anchored in his love of singer/songwriter compositions.And now, as he gears-up for the release of his most soul-baring work to date, – serves as a timely reminder for why Sheeran remains one of the most gifted lyricists of his generation; an artist who breaks down his own experiences for fans to seek comfort and belonging. – is the result of Sheeran pushing the boundaries of his songcraft, as he delivers the most profound songwriting of his career. Teaming-up with Aaron Dessner (The National) on writing and production after the pair joined forces following an introduction from mutual friend Taylor Swift, Ed and Aaron began crafting the album in February last year. Writing over 30 songs during their month-long studio stint, the albums fourteen tracks are seamlessly tied together by exquisite production from paired back, folk-leaning textures to bolder, full-band/orchestral arrangements.Tracklist:A1BoatA2Salt WaterA3Eyes ClosedA4Life Goes onA5DustyA6End of YouthA7ColourblindB1CurtainsB2BorderlineB3SparkB4VegaB5SycamoreB6No StringsB7The Hills Of Aberfeldy
