Ed Sheeran has a new album on the verge of release, and the 23-year-old Brit hit Saturday Night Live to give a little taste of what's in it. Backed by guitar, bass, drums and a back-up singer on both songs, he treated the SNL audience to two funk-inflected tracks from X.
Ed Sheeran's Heartache and Wildest Nights: Behind His Raw LP 'X'
Sheeran led with "Sing," the new album's Pharrell-co-written lead single, which he released April 7th. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Sheeran said that the new album has a few "songs about drunken regret and comedown from certain things," and "Sing," about finding love while secretly drinking at a dry industry party, seems to fit the bill.
For his second act, Sheeran debuted "Don't," a bitter break-up song
about a real-life fling with another singer that ended when she slept
with a close friend of his. Sheeran says that it's absolutely not about
his friend and tourmate Taylor Swift, but he did play the song for her
after he wrote it. "She was just like, 'Whatever happens, ever, between
us as friends, I never want to piss you off that much,'" he said.
