It has been almost four and a half years since Ed Sheeran has graced us with a studio album. Today, he announced when he will drop his new record. This reveal Equals happiness for all of us.
“My 4th studio album ‘=‘ comes out October 29th, and is available to preorder today on all platforms, cd, vinyl and cassette,” he wrote. “I started writing and recording this album June 2017. Its been a long, long process. I’ve been through love, loss, new life, grief and everything in between during the whole period of writing it, and I feel like it’s really a coming of age record. I’ve never been more proud of a body of work, or more excited/nervous for you all to hear it.”
= will drop on October 29th and includes the above single. “The next song off of it is called Visiting Hours, which I finished for my friend Michael who sadly passed away this year.”
He concluded the announcement by asking if we are as excited as he is for the new music. I can answer his question in two words, “Hell yeah!!!”
