In a heartfelt and introspective Instagram post, Ed Sheeran unveiled the release date for his new album titled ‘Autumn Variations.’
“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,” he wrote.
The 32-year-old singer also shared what inspired him to record ‘Autumn Variations’: “My dad and brother told me about a composer called Elgar, who composed ‘Enigma Variations’ where each of the 14 compositions was about a different one of his friends.”
The album, set to be released on September 29th, will arrive just four months after Ed’s latest album ‘Subtract.’
‘Subtract,’ which topped charts in over 10 countries, marked the end of Ed Sheeran’s math symbols albums.
