Ed Sheeran Play

Ed Sheeran opens a bold new chapter with Play, his first full-length release following the close of the landmark Mathematics series.

Known for constant reinvention, Play finds Sheeran expanding his sound through global collaboration, drawing inspiration from Indian and Persian musical traditions and their unexpected links to the Irish folk roots he grew up with. Shared scales, rhythms and melodic structures give the album a fresh, borderless feel, while still grounding it in the emotional clarity and craftsmanship that define his songwriting.

Alongside these new influences, Sheeran delivers a run of intimate ballads and acoustic-led tracks that reaffirm his place as one of the most influential singer-songwriters of his generation. The result is an album that balances exploration with familiarity — warm, melodic and confidently forward-looking.

This Indie Exclusive edition is pressed on White & Pink Marbled vinyl and presented in a printed gatefold sleeve with a printed inner sleeve, 2-page insert, and matt finish, making it a standout piece for collectors. Play is a vibrant, assured statement from an artist entering a new era at the height of his powers.
