"Ed Sheeran has been all over the world. The singer-songwriter - one of the best-selling musicians of all time, with multiple Grammy and BRIT Awards, an Ivor Novello, an Emmy and even an MBE for services to music - has toured the world thrice over for his music (The Plus Tour, The Multiply Tour and The Divide Tour). These world tours have taken him everywhere from Belgium, Lithuania and Bulgaria and Bhutan, China and Bahrain,"
""As a touring artist, I'm not always able to soak up the places I visit," Ed tells Condé Nast Traveller. "The older I get, I want to make sure I capture the places I'm lucky enough to visit, so I can look back on them with my kids." For his latest album, he tried to rectify this. When recording Play, his eighth studio album, he spent a month in India."
Ed Sheeran has toured extensively and sought deeper engagement with destinations. He spent a month in India recording Play, his eighth studio album. He collaborated with Indian musicians and created the single Sapphire to celebrate Indian culture and heritage. He teamed up with Arijit Singh and released a reworked version of the track featuring a verse and chorus sung in a mix of Hindi and Punjabi. He aims to capture the places he visits to look back on them with his children. Play was created as a response to a dark period and finished in Goa, emphasizing joy, technicolour and cultural exploration.
