RELEASES
Ed Sheeran has announced that he will release new album ‘Autumn Variations’ – his second LP of 2023 – on 29 Sep. Like recent album ‘Subtract’, it was produced by The National’s Aaron Dessner. Sheeran says that the record was inspired by Elgar’s ‘Enigma Variations’. “Each of the four compositions were about a different one of his friends”, he says. “This is what inspired me to make this album. When I recorded ‘Subtract’ with Aaron Dessner, we clicked immediately. We wrote and recorded non-stop and this album was born out of that partnership. I feel he has captured the feeling of autumn so wonderfully in his sonics and I hope everyone loves it as much as I do”.
Selena Gomez has released new single ‘Single Soon’.
The Killers have released new single ‘Your Side Of Town’. “It’s got the ghosts of a lot of the synth music that inspired us over the years”, say the band. “And yet, somehow, feels completely our own”.
