P!nk has a new single out today called Walk Me Home. Of course, I had to listen to it. When it got to the chorus, I felt like I heard that tempo recently. Before I got to the end of the song, I was like it reminds me of Ed Sheeran’s Nancy Mulligan.
Granted both songs are paying tribute to traditional Irish music by updating it with a Pop sound. I still find it interesting how much they both resemble each other. Do you hear it too or am I the only one hearing double?
Getting past the similarities, I still love both tunes. Which is making me even more excited for her 8th studio album, Hurts 2B Human, that is coming out in April.
Today is Bruno Mars’ 33rd birthday, and he wanted to make it special for himself. Therefore, he paid a singer as famous as him to sing happy birthday to him. Not just any musician, but Ed Sheeran. Since it is his special day, he personalized the tune just for him. Therefore, Sheeran had to sing it with the proper amount of uptown funk. If you are paying someone to sing for you, once is just not good enough! For one night Sheeran was Mars’ bitch and we get to enjoy it!

Ed Sheeran might only be 27 years old, but he has had enough hits in his career to warrant a documentary about the making of his platinum album ÷ with a lot of chart-topping hits.
On August 28th, Songwriter will give us an all-access view into his life and recording of Divide. Not only will it focus on his latest record, it will also show him before he was hanging with his friends on a Castle on the Hill. In other words, cute little Ed Sheeran.
He will also take us back to high school where he started to learn how to write music. It was those classes that have helped to make songs that became the must play first dance tunes for couples on their wedding days.
Most importantly, it shows him being his loveable self. Not only do we want a photograph with him. We also want to be his friend.
Songwriter will play in select theaters on August 17th and then it will be available exclusively on Apple Music starting on August 28th.
Tomorrow is Red Nose Day and Ed Sheeran has already gotten into the spirit. He did so by wearing a shirt that Victoria Beckham designed just for the day and it is on sale on Omaze. The t-shirt, a Spice Girls’ fan must have, is being sold for just $35, of which $13 from each shirt will go to the Red Nose Day Fund, which supports programs that ensure children who are living in poverty are safe, healthy and educated.
Let’s get back to Sheeran, he says if you buy the shirt, “two things will happen – Children in poverty all over the world will get support, and I will watch Spice World the movie on repeat for 24 hours, coz why not.” Has any human survived that? If he does, then he deserves to be an honorary Spice Girl. I think we should call him Manly Spice, what do you think his name should be?
Even though Ed Sheeran’s album came out over a year ago, he is still releasing singles from Divide. The latest tune is the sad love song Happier. Like I said, it is very depressing. Therefore, how do you create a music video for it that does not send people into a state of major depression? You replace the humans with puppets. That makes the song Happier seem happier. At least it did for me.
