Ed Sheeran plans to Divide and conquer with new album

Surprise! Ed Sheeran is going to release a new album. You didn’t think he was just going to release those two singles and fuck off again, did you? Oh, you didn’t? No, neither did I. I was just checking.

But what will the new album be called? If you guessed ‘-‘ then you are a fucking idiot, because that’s the title of album four. This one is ‘÷’. His fifth album is set to be called ‘22378008’. Anyway, this LP, which you will call ‘Divide’ when you say it out loud – following on from ‘Plus’ and ‘Multiply’ – will be released on 3 Mar. So that’s nice.

Speaking about the album, and the week he’s had since only releasing two bloody new songs at the same flippin time, Sheeran said: “First off, what a week! The reaction to my new singles has been absolutely mind-blowing and I can’t thank you enough. My new album ‘÷’ holds a very special place in my heart and I really believe this is my best work to date. I’ve been eager to get back and I couldn’t be more excited for 3 Mar”.

Edward Sheeran, 25, is a singer-songwriter from Framlingham in Suffolk.
