Edward Christopher Sheeran, MBE (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter. In early 2011, Sheeran independently released the extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project. After signing with Asylum Records, his debut album, + (pronounced "plus"), was released in September 2011. It topped the UK and Australian charts, reached number five in the US, and has since been certified eight-times platinum in the UK.
The album contains the single "The A Team", which earned him the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. In 2012, Sheeran won the Brit Awards for Best British Male Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where he performed the song with Elton John.
Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding have reunited for a new collaborative single – listen to ‘Free’ below.The DJ, producer and songwriter has been teasing the track on social media, and recently teamed up with Goulding to preview the song during a live set at the Ushuaïa club in Ibiza.“I’m free/ When I’m with you I’m free,” Goulding sings in the euphoric chorus over stabs of house piano.
In a later verse, she asks: “What do I say now?/ Don’t want to fall in love/ I’m not afraid now/ Eyes closed.”Arriving today (July 26), the rousing summer anthem is accompanied by a colourful official lyric video.
