Ed Sheeran Announces New Studio Album 'Play'

British global singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran announced the release of his new studio album 'Play' on the 12th, according to Warner Music Korea. This album is the first work presented after Sheeran completed his series of albums titled with mathematical symbols such as '÷' (Divide) and '=' (Equals).

The new album includes the title track 'Camera' along with pre-released songs 'Azizam' and 'Old Phone'. The standard edition consists of 13 tracks, while the deluxe edition features 18 tracks.

In particular, the title track 'Camera' is garnering attention as a song that contains Sheeran's heartfelt praise and blessings for his wife. Through the lyrical line, "A camera is not needed to capture this moment, I will remember your face tonight," he expresses deep affection for his loved one.

The music video for the title track features actress Phoebe Dynevor, who gained global recognition through the popular Netflix series 〈Bridgerton〉. Dynevor visually completes the song's emotion by acting out romantic moments with Ed Sheeran.

To celebrate the album's release, Sheeran held a streaming concert titled 'Tiny Desk Concert' that was broadcast live on YouTube at 1 AM (KST) on the 13th.
