Ed Sheeran Announces Fourth Album and it won’t be called Minus

Ed Sheeran has broken rank with his album naming convention to call his next album ‘No. 6 Collaborations Project’.

Ed’s previous three albums have been +, x and ÷ so the next logical title for the sequence is the minus symbol -. That was probably a bit too negative (pardon the pun) so Ed has gone in a different direction.

The new album is an album of collaborations. The current single ‘I Don’t Care’ featuring Justin Bieber is already out there. Ed has also revealed Chance the Rapper will be on the album as well.

In a post to Instagram Ed said, “Before I was signed in 2011, I made an EP called No.5 Collaborations Project. Since then, I’ve always wanted to do another, so I started No.6 on my laptop when I was on tour last year. I’m a huge fan of all the artists I’ve collaborated with and it’s been a lot of fun to make. No.6 Collaborations Project will be out everywhere on 12 July. It’s available to pre-order from midnight tonight local time and my song with @chancetherapper and @pnbrock will be out everywhere at the same time.”
