Ed Sheeran announces new album Autumn Variations due next month
The English star is set to release his seventh album at the end of September.
British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has announced the release of his new album, Autumn Variations, releasing through Gingerbread Man Records on September 29, 2023.
The superstar announced the upcoming album through his social media, where fans are reacting with extreme excitement.
Speaking about the album, Sheeran said: “Last autumn, I found that my friends and I were going through so many life changes. After the heat of the summer, everything either calmed, settled, fell apart, came to a head or imploded.
“When I went through a difficult time at the start of last year, writing songs helped me understand my feelings and come to terms with what was going on, and when I learned about my friend’s different situations, I wrote songs, some from their perspectives, some from mine, to capture how they and I viewed the world at that time. There were highs of falling in love and new friendships among lows of heartbreak, depression, loneliness and confusion.”
The 'Galway Girl' singer continued: “My dad and brother told me about a composer called Elgar, who composed ‘Enigma Variations’, where each of the 14 compositions were about a different one of his friends. This is what inspired me to make this album. When I recorded Subtract with Aaron Dessner, we clicked immediately. We wrote and recorded non-stop and this album was born out of that partnership. I feel he has captured the feeling of autumn so wonderfully in his sonics and I hope everyone loves it as much as I do.”
We at Hot Press are very excited to see what the pop maestro has in store with Autumn Variations!
