If you are anything like me, you have been a fan of Ed Sheeran’s work for a long time. I was eagerly awaiting his new tunes and was counting down the days until March 3, when his new album Divide, came out. While I knew it would be fantastic, I didn’t know just how awesome it would be. So now, I am on a one-woman mission to make sure everyone understands how amazing and talented Ed Sheeran is. If these reasons don’t win you over, I don’t know what will!
- He plays all of his music by himself—and it sounds incredible. Check out his performance of “Shape of You” at this year’s Grammy Awards.
