With his May 5-released LP ‘Subtract,’ global superstar Ed Sheeran completed his series of mathematical album titles.

And while that project didn’t fare as well as its predecessors did commercially (slipping off the Billboard 200 in just 15 weeks), Ed – having just wrapped the yearlong ‘Mathematics Tour‘ on September 23 – is already adding a new project to his prized discography: ‘Autumn Variations.’

Announced just a month ago, ‘Autumn’ the Aaron Dessner-produced effort boasts 14 tracks.

“My dad and brother told me about a composer called Elgar, who composed ‘Enigma Variations’, where each of the 14 compositions were about a different one of his friends. This is what inspired me to make this album,” he said about ‘Autumn.’ “I feel [Dessner] has captured the feeling of autumn so wonderfully in his sonics and I hope everyone loves it as much as I do.”

The Rolling Stones and Lady Gaga have linked up for a titan-sized collaboration, ‘Sweet Sounds of Heaven.’

Lifted from the rockers’ incoming new album ‘Hackney Diamonds’ (due October 20), the mega-watt collaboration is gifted even more electricity by way of Stevie Wonder (who plays the keys on the colossal cut).

Following on from lead single ‘Angel,’ ‘Sweet Sounds’ sees Gaga trade verses with group lead Mick Jagger on the Gospel-kissed track.
