3. SOUNDBITE (English) Ed Sheeran, recording artist:
“So my new album ‘Play,’ is I guess like, it’s a really celebratory album. It’s very upbeat, it’s very colorful and I think after the last album I put out, ‘Subtract,’ which was all about sort of grief and depression and stuff, I wanted to create something that was, like, super upbeat and positive, and here it is.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Ed Sheeran, recording artist:
“I said I wanted to redo what we did in COVID, but actually do it with a crowd, and New York’s a fantastic place to do that. TikTok is a fantastic platform to do it on. And yeah, here we are.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Ed Sheeran, recording artist:
“Usually when you do things like this, they’re like, ‘You have to play the catalog, the hits,’ and TikTok have been very kind of opposite of that, like, ‘We really want you to play the new songs,’ which, you know, is great for me, but also like a big challenge. I haven’t played these songs in public really ever.”
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Michelle Wolff, Ed Sheeran fan:
“It was really special to see him, you know, be raw with his music and play for the first time, and we’re excited to see these songs in five years from now.”
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Gwen Nathan, Ed Sheeran fan:
“He was absolutely fantastic. Like, just hearing his lyrics live, hearing him play live and loop the songs. It was absolutely amazing.”

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Ed Sheeran, recording artist:
“My career has taken so many like, different twists and turns, and I always thought that I’d be, like, an acoustic singer songwriter who was only big in the United Kingdom and played theaters, and suddenly now I’m touring internationally, and we’re doing stadiums everywhere we go, and it’s very much, it’s just all evolved throughout the years, and I’ve just kind of gone with it. It’s definitely not how I thought it would pan out.”
