Ed Sheeran has revealed that, in addition to his upcoming album ‘-’, he has also recorded a second album with The National’s Aaron Dessner, and another with J Balvin, and has yet another in the works that won’t come out until after his death.Pronounced ‘Subtract’, the new album is the final part of Sheeran’s series of records named after mathematical symbols, and was co-written and produced last year by Dessner.

The National guitarist’s collaborations with Sheeran follow his earlier creative partnership with Taylor Swift, which also resulted in two albums – ‘Folklore’ and ‘Evermore’.Confirming that there will be two releases from his Dessner alliance, Sheeran tells Rolling Stone: “It was very quickly seen that we were making two different things”.The second record will apparently be more upbeat than the more emotionally heavy ‘-’.

It’s not clear when it will be released, but it is currently being mixed. “I have no goals for the record”, he explains. “I just want to put it out”.As well as all that, Sheeran also reveals that he has just completed a collaborative album with J Balvin, which features guest appearances from Burna Boy, Daddy Yankee, Pharrell Williams and Shakira.

Videos have already been shot for tracks on that record, but again no release date has been set.Meanwhile, he adds, he is now working on what he hopes will be his best album.
