Today: Something New

I've posted about Ed Sheeran before. He's one of my favorite artists right now. His new album "+" was released in the USA this week.



This song is free on itunes this week and was previously released on an EP last year, which means there is a chance that this will be his first venture into real mainstream popularity (he's already had success in Britain). But for good reason. "The A Team" is incredibly catchy and the melody is so simple and soft-spoken, but I love alternating chord jumps. I also really love that you can still hear his accent.



I think this song is beautiful. The guitar and the piano alternate with the melody. And his voice is beautiful singing about "Autumn Leaves." I love how the song just floats away at the end.

My other favorites are "Lego House" and "Sunburn." Also check out "U.N.I." and "Gold Rush" for his faster songs; it's almost like he's rap-singing.

Today: Something New

I'm back! I've reaffirmed my love of Ed Sheeran. "Give Me Love" is off his "The A List" EP from last fall but will also be on his new record, "+" which will be out in June.



I love the break down around 3:30 to the end of the song. He is a fabulous musician.
