Ed Sheeran BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Ed Sheeran has been making major waves this week with the release of his new remix EP called Play The Remixes, which dropped on Friday October seventeenth. The four track project features collaborations with South Asian artists including Karan Aujla, Jonita Gandhi, Arijit Singh, Hanumankind, Dhee and Santhosh Narayanan. According to Northwest Asian Weekly, this marks the first time Sheeran has released a song in Hindi, which appears on the track Heaven featuring Toronto based singer Jonita Gandhi. The Surrey British Columbia based Punjabi hip hop artist Karan Aujla joins him on Symmetry, where Sheeran actually learned to sing verses in Punjabi. A music video for Symmetry was also released alongside the EP.
The remix project stems from Sheerans original album Play, which was his ninth studio album and was heavily influenced by his month long stay in India. On Instagram, Sheeran shared that making and finishing Play in India was an amazing experience and that touring there over the past decade introduced him to local artists and diverse musical cultures. He expressed excitement about this being just the beginning of his collaborative journey with these artists.
Beyond the music release, Sheeran is gearing up for several high profile appearances. He is confirmed to perform at the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes on October thirty first, where he is nominated for International Male Artist and International Hit for his song Azizam. The awards ceremony will air live on TF1, and Sheeran is notably the most awarded international artist in the shows history.
In a unique crossover moment, FC Barcelona and Spotify announced that the logo from Sheerans Play album will appear on the Barcelona jerseys for upcoming matches, including the highly anticipated Clasico against Real Madrid on October twenty sixth. Sheeran, who has expressed his lifelong love of football, called seeing his album on the Barca shirt one of those moments he can hardly believe.
Looking ahead, Sheeran announced the twenty twenty six North American leg of his Loop Tour with twenty six stadium dates kicking off in June.
