Ed Sheeran Says His Next Album Won't Be Pop for the Sake of His Career
Grammy Award recipient Ed Sheeran just dropped new information about his next record. After producing three pop albums mixed with other genres, the "Shape of You" singer said he will be taking a new route for his next one.
Sheeran is yet to announce the official name and release date of his upcoming album. His fans, however, are already aware that the English singer will not be releasing another pop album next. Back in December 2017, Sheeran told The Times that he is planning to produce a Lo-Fi album. "My plan is a lo-fi album that will be my lowest-selling," he said. The singer mentioned he got the idea after listening to Bruce Springsteen's 1982 song "Nebraska."
During his appearance on George Ezra & Friends podcast, Sheeran said he will be taking another direction for the future of his career. "The next record that I'm making is not a pop album. I feel like it's dangerous to have a career that goes bigger and bigger, because at some point it's gonna drop," Sheeran explained. "If the next album does, like, 2 or 1 [million], or 500,000, it's not a failure because I've made an album where I'm not trying to get there. No one's going to be like, 'that's a flop.'"
