Ed Sheeran has laid down some strong bars on another brand new track, The Man.

The song, Sheeran’s fifth release in as many days, joins the likes of SING, Afire Love, Thinking Out Loud and more on his upcoming sophomore record, X, set to land next week (23rd June).

The Man differs in stance from the previous releases, focusing more on Ed’s incredible talent for rapping thought-provoking poetry; something that has been missing off the other excerpts. It’s clear from The Man that Sheeran has taken influence by Just Jack, who he famously supported on tour at the start of his career.

Stream The Man below, and hit the iTunes link to download both the track and to preorder X.
