WASHINGTON: American singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, who recently released his new single ‘Bad Habits’ from his upcoming fifth studio album, according to his manager has several new collections of tracks in the works, which all will be “sonically adventurous”.

Ed’s manager Stuart Camp told Variety that fans shouldn’t expect the new album to have the same vibe as the current single.

Explaining, he said, “When you’re an established artist at the level we’re at, you can play a bit dangerously with the first single back because you know you’re going to get some exposure.”

He added, “We knew we could take a slight risk – although you then balance that out with shitting yourself about that slight risk two minutes before it’s due to come out!”

Camp divulged that ‘Bad Habits’ is not necessarily representative of the sound of the upcoming album, due in the fall, although “it’s indicative of a different approach to a lot of songs.”

He explained, “It’ll both surprise and comfort people. There are some normal Ed songs, but there’s also some more sonically adventurous ones as well.”

Camp said the plan is to “hit them hard with another single and album in the autumn,” and although he declined to give a date, he did say, “There will be an album this year, but I can’t tell you any more than that.”

Camp stated that with lengthy touring plans in the works, including “setting aside most of 2023 for North America,” it’s likely Sheeran will release more than one album during this on-the-road cycle.

Talking about their touring plans, he said, “We’ll be touring – if we’re allowed to – for two to three years, and there may be more records in that period. If we tour for that long, I’d imagine there will be two albums within that cycle. Because this record’s taken so long to make, we genuinely have a lot of songs, so it could happen relatively quickly. If he wanted to, he could literally release an album of acoustic ballads tomorrow!”

As per Variety, Sheeran recently unveiled a jersey sponsorship at his local Ipswich Town soccer club, which featured two mathematical symbols, – and =, that is yet to be used as album titles, although it does suggest that those could be the names of his next ones.

WASHINGTON: Grammy-winning singer Ed Sheeran will be releasing his first solo single in four years, ‘Bad Habits’, later this month. Ahead of the song’s release, the singer shared a teaser clip of the track, which is sure to leave his fans excited.

The ‘Shape Of You’ hitmaker shared a snippet of the song on Instagram and confirmed the track’s arrival on June 25.

He wrote in the caption, “My new single Bad Habits comes out on 25th June. Pre-order/ pre-save now x (link in bio).”

The snippet features Sheeran dressed as a vampire in a hot pink suit, with baggy eyes and faux fangs that certainly look like they belong to the undead. His skin looks pale white (and undoubtedly ice cold), and the ‘Perfect’ singer had his signature ginger mane styled in a Twilight-esque swoop.

The singer’s look in the clip is surely giving us some major Edward Cullen vibes!

The forthcoming single will mark the first time Sheeran has released a single that does not feature a collaborator since ‘Happier’ from his 2017 album ‘Divide’.

“I’ve been working away in the studio over recent months and I can’t wait for you to hear ‘Bad Habits,’” the star said in a press release on Friday.

He added, “I always aim to push myself and my music in new directions and hopefully you’ll hear that on the new single. Feels great to be back!”

Last month, the singer seemingly dropped an Easter Egg when he told BBC Radio 1 about some of the “bad habits” he’s kicked during quarantine.

He said, “I’ve been really healthy, like kind of stopped all the bad habits stuff in my life. You know, started exercising every day. I was eating like a takeaway every single day, and now I don’t need to take away every single day and it’s been good.”

Specifically, he’s managed to give up indulging in “chicken wings and two bottles of wine every night.”

“I’ve been making a lot of songs, I’ve been keeping busy doing that. I became a dad, which is a seismic change in my life,” added the singer.

He will next perform live at TikTok’s UEFA Euro 2020 show on June 25 at Ipswich Town’s Portman Road stadium in England.

The Grammy winner had released the mellow acoustic song ‘Afterglow’ in December but said it was a ‘Christmas present’ not a single.

He then released the No.6 Collaborations Project in July 2019, which featured singers including Justin Bieber, Camila Cabello and Travis Scott.

On the personal front, the star welcomed daughter Lyra Antarctica Seaborn Sheeran in August with his wife Cherry Seaborn.
