Ed Sheeran Plots Deluxe ‘X’ With Bonus Tracks, Concert Feature
Ed Sheeran will release X – Wembley Edition, a revamped version of his quadruple-platinum second LP, on November 13th. The package will include three previously unreleased tracks – featuring collaborations with producers Rick Rubin, Emile Haynie, Jeff Bhasker and Johnny McDaid – and a 90-minute concert film, Ed Sheeran: Jumpers for Goalposts.
The feature, directed by Grammy-nominated concert filmmaker Paul Dugdale, includes footage from Sheeran’s three sold-out 2015 shows at London’s Wembley Stadium. In addition to previously unreleased tracks and material from the album’s deluxe version, X – Wembley Edition includes “I See Fire,” his contribution to The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Soundtrack; x B-side “All of the Stars”; and “Lay It All on Me,” the singer’s collaboration with EDM band Rudimental.
The British songwriter recently concluded a North American tour filled with massive stadium gigs. Additional dates for Australia and New Zealand will kick off in late November; additional details are available at Sheeran’s website.
Though X – Wembley Edition finds Sheeran looking back, he’s also begun working on his third and fourth LPs. “I could probably release one of them tomorrow and have people like it,” Sheeran told Rolling Stone. “X was full of good songs and a couple of great songs, and I feel like on the next couple of records there will be more great songs than good songs.”
Though he’s remained quiet on a specific musical direction, he did reveal one source of inspiration: Africa. “I know a load of Ghanaian musicians in London, and they’ve always told me to go over there,” he continued. “I feel like I’d go there and be revitalized. Their music industry isn’t like our music industry. Our music industry is really cutthroat and people trying to climb on top of each other to get to the top. They just do it to create music because they love it.”
