Subtract closed Ed Sheeran's symbol series with his most intimate music, and this deluxe CD edition of the 2023 album adds extra songs to the original stripped-back tracklist.

Sheeran had spent years writing an acoustic album, but personal upheaval changed everything. His wife's health scare during pregnancy and the death of his close friend Jamal Edwards led him to start again, pouring grief, fear and love into new songs. Working with Aaron Dessner of The National, he swapped stadium polish for hushed guitars, strings and space, creating a record that feels like a private diary set to music.

"Boat," the opener, sets the mood with a gentle, rolling guitar and a refusal to sink under the weight of loss. "Eyes Closed" is the album's most familiar song, a softly building pop track about dancing through heartbreak, while "Salt Water" swells from a whisper into a sweeping, cathartic chorus. "Life Goes On" sits with grief rather than rushing past it, its fragile vocal leaving plenty of room for silence and reflection.

Dessner's production keeps everything close and tactile, letting every breath, creak and finger slide come through, as if he were playing in the same room.

It is the album that showed how much power Sheeran's songwriting has when it is stripped to its core.
