With his catalog full of songs about love, Ed Sheeran is possibly the best artist to spend Valentine’s Day with, and Audacy is lucky enough to do just that with an exclusive conversation and performance with the "Bad Habits" star in our Audacy Live: Valentine's Day with Ed Sheeran.
Keep the music going all Valentine's Day on Ed Sheeran's Favorites, and Ed Sheeran Radio -- now on Audacy!
Sheeran is finally getting back on the road after a break due to COVID, bringing his latest album, = (Equals), to the vibrating masses that have been waiting to see him in person again since its release in mid-2021. When Ed joined Audacy host Bru and some lucky listeners in Los Angeles for an intimate chat about the new record, he also played some of his singles while he had his guitar with him.
"I never really try to go for a message with any album," Ed tells Bru. "It's just a snapshot of how my life is at that time, but it's called 'Equals' because I feel like being 30 is the start of when everything starts getting answers... there's loads of questions and you're sort of figuring out who you are. Then you get to 30 and stuff starts falling into place a bit more. I just found that turning 30, becoming a dad, getting married; I lost a close friend as well and I think that really hit home that life is precious and you should take every day as if it's your last -- and really enjoy it."
Following Ed's chat, watch him perform the tracks "Overpass Graffiti," "Give Me Love," "The Joker And The Queen," "Shivers," "Perfect," "Shape Of You," and, "Bad Habits."
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Ed's newest single is "The Joker And The Queen," the sixth track from his latest album, = (Equals), with the addition of his good friend Taylor Swift. In case you missed it, make sure you also check out Ed's 2022 BRIT Awards performance with the help of U.K. rockers Bring Me The Horizon for a look at a totally different side of the singer's musical prowess.
You know... there's quite literally an Ed Sheeran song for every stage in your relationship! So, keep the music going all Valentine's Day with songs like “Friends,” for when you’re crushing on someone, and they don’t know it yet; “Don’t,” for when they’re keeping things casual, but your tryna take it to the next level; “Wake Me Up,” for when you’re happy and in love; “Thinking Out Loud,” for when you know they’re the one; and “Lego House,” for when things get difficult and you’re desperately trying to make it work.
Oh — and for those not cuffed up this V-Day or even in-between, Ed’s also got “Give Me Love,” for when you’re dating around but (let’s be real) you’re still not over your ex; “Drunk,” for those post-break-up blues, and “You Need Me, I Don't Need You,” for when that ex is feeling lonely and creeps back into your texts.
