After his huge hit ‘Sapphire’, this single feels like the perfect follow-up. The song opens with looped vocals mixed with traditional instruments like the dhol, bouzouki, and tabla. All the unique and live instruments set a unique tone for the rest of the song. Then the beats kick in, driving the song with a high-energy rhythm that is perfect for late-night playlists and crowded dance floors. ‘Symmetry’ proves Sheeran is not afraid to experiment while keeping his music fun for his audience!!
Closing the chapter on his Mathematics series, Ed Sheeran kicks off a fresh era in 2025 with his new album ‘Play’. The project sees him teaming up with global producers and musicians, bringing fresh energy to his sound. Recent tracks ‘Symmetry’ and ‘Camera’ explore deeper themes and timeless influences, marking an exciting step in his musical journey.
‘Play’ highlights Sheeran’s journey into Persian and Indian musical traditions, blending them with his Irish folk roots. The album uncovers surprising links through shared rhythms and melodies, showing how different cultures connect through sound. This borderless approach gives the album a bold and refreshing edge. This also makes the album stand out as one of his most unique works to date.
The musician was in India a few months back to shoot the video for his hit ‘Sapphire’, where he teamed up with singer Arijit Singh. The single also featured Bollywood legend Shah Rukh Khan, adding even more star power! Sheeran has openly shared his love and emotions for India, the country’s music, and even Bollywood on his YouTube channel. In a recent chat with New Zealand DJ Zane Lowe, he talked about his admiration for Bollywood soundtracks, even mentioning the iconic film ‘Om Shanti Om’ as one of his favorites. The ‘Symmetry’ singer said, “It’s a wealth of discovery of movies, and someone going like, ‘Oh, have you seen this movie?’ Have you seen ‘Om Shanti Om’? It’s like a really big Shah Rukh Khan movie, and it has amazing songs and dances in it.”
