In an exclusive interview with Billboard, UK breakthrough singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran has teased more about the follow-up to his hugely successful debut album +.
Detailing a slight change in direct for his sophomore effort, the singer alludes that he’s looking to try to
“write different songs…that are kind of out of my comfort zone and challenge myself a little bit….. It’s definitely leaning towards more of a beat-heavy thing, definitely more hip-hop-like…. I think I’ve evolved a bit more since I made the first record, which I think is a healthy thing”.
With Sheeran currently on tour with Taylor Swift, he is pretty much out of action until mid-September, proposing that it’ll be around that time when he’ll be entering the studio to record the follow-up. Knowing Sheeran however, it’ll hardly be surprising if he still takes to social media in the meantime to keep fans’ appetites whet.
