Having added yet another chart-topping album (‘Subtract‘) to his lengthy list of hits in May and following the win with the final dates of his massive, globe-trotting ‘Mathematics Tour,’ singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran doesn’t exactly have time to launch as large of a promo campaign for his new LP, ‘Autumn Variations.’
His first independent effort, ‘Autumn’ launched with little fanfare on September 29 but is still managing to rack up some handsome first-week sales as predicted by top industry analysts.
Yet, while his beloved fans (affectionately called #Sheerios), were on the hunt for the era’s official music videos, Sheeran took to press to confirm no such clips will surface.
To tide them over, however, he’s lifted the lid on a bonus album.
Details inside.
14 lucky Sheerios witnessed a live version of one of the ‘Autumn Variations’ tracks recorded from their living rooms for the project’s companion ‘Fan Living Room Sessions‘ album.
Featuring the original’s 14 tracks as well as versions of each from the homes of fans named John, Emily, Holly, Kristen, Kia, Alex, Sarom, Kari, Narine, Deborah, Danilelle and Keiram, look below to stream the full set courtesy of Apple Music and Spotify.
News of the ‘Fan Living Room Sessions’ came just days after Sheeran took to ‘CBS Mornings’ to confirm the era will not have any official music videos or singles to support it.
“Each record before I’ve done, like, all the big going in and doing all these radio interviews, and going on the late-night shows, and doing, doing all this stuff. And this record, there’s not even a single for it. There’s not, there’s not a music video. I’m just putting it out,” Sheeran said in a recent chat with the morning show.
