ED SHEERAN 'PLAY' PINK ZOETOPE VINYL LE /5000

After closing the chapter on his Mathematics series, Ed Sheeran is back with ‘Play’, pressed exclusively to zoetrope picture disc via Blood Records, limited to 5,000 copies and hand-numbered to order. An artist known for constantly evolving, Sheeran’s latest album, Play finds him exploring new musical ground through collaboration with producers and musicians from around the world, as well as diving deeper into the timeless sounds and themes that have made him one of the world’s best-loved pop artists. Inspired by his exposure to Indian and Persian musical cultures—and their surprising connections to the Irish folk tradition he grew up with, through shared scales, rhythms, and melodies—he explored this borderless musical language, giving the album its distinctive, fresh edge. On more familiar ground, Sheeran also reminds us why he remains the most influential singer-songwriter of his generation, delivering a series of stunning ballads and acoustic-driven songs.
