Play is Ed Sheeran stepping off the mathematical path, and this CD edition brings his 2025 album home in full, thirteen songs coloured by travel, curiosity and a fresh sense of fun.
After a decade of albums named for symbols, ending with the hushed, grief-stricken Subtract, Sheeran wanted a lighter, more open record. Play draws on the music he had been absorbing on the road, particularly Persian and Indian sounds, and folds those influences into the big-hearted pop songwriting that made him one of the most successful artists of his generation. It feels like an artist rediscovering why he started making music.
"Azizam," whose title is a Persian term of endearment, sets the tone with a bright, rhythmic pulse and a chorus built for singing along. "Sapphire" weaves Indian melodic colour into a shimmering love song, while "Old Phone" turns nostalgic, looking back at earlier chapters of his life. "A Little More" brings a cheeky, upbeat bite, proving he has not lost his knack for an instantly sticky hook.
Throughout, the production stays warm and buoyant, with acoustic guitar never far from the centre of things.
Longtime fans will recognise the open-book honesty, while newer listeners may be surprised by how adventurous the palette has become. Either way, Play lives up to its name.
