    Global superstar Ed Sheeran has released his brand new album = (Equals), which includes his new single ‘Overpass Graffiti’.

    The 14-track album is the fourth instalment in Ed’s symbol album series and features songs which were created over a four year period. = sees the multi-award winning artist explore the varying degrees of love, loss, resilience, fatherhood and also processing his reality and career.

    The album includes the perviously released ‘Bad Habits’, ‘Shivers’ and ‘Visiting Hours’, whilst Ed has also announced that ‘Overpass Graffiti’ is the latest official single. Alongside the album, Ed has unveiled a music video for the new 80s inspired synth-heavy single. Directed by Jason Koenig, the visual explores the romanticism of living in the moment with a dressing gown-clad Ed stranded in a desert before hitching a ride and embarking on an adventure with new friends.

    Written and recorded across Suffolk, London, Sweden and LA, =’s executive production comes from Ed, FRED (No.6 Collaborations Project) and Johnny McDaid (Divide), with additional writing and/or production provided by Steve Mac, Joe Rubel, Amy Wadge, Foy Vance, Elvira Anderfjard, David Hodges, Andrew Watt, Lou Bell, Natalie Hemby and Ben Kweller. Ed’s composer brother, has also contributed stunning string arrangements on ‘First Times’ and ‘The Joker And The Queen’. The album artwork is a vivid collage of butterfly imagery symbolising the albums’ thread of ‘new life’ and is backdropped by one of Ed’s own abstract paintings.
