Who did not love Pokemon in their childhoods? But not everyone gets to live their dreams. World famous singer and songwriter Ed Sheeran seem to have done the impossible as he is officially a part of the Pokemon universe. He has recently dropped a collaboration with the franchise on a song titled ‘Celestial’.
The track was released on September 29, Thursday along with a video that features all sorts of pokemon. What’s more interesting than the video itself? The news is that the song will be featured in “Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet!”, as officially stated by the Pokémon Company. The song is a typical Ed Sheeran song, filled with catchy tunes and dynamized rhythmic flow that keeps the audience hooked throughout. Worldwide known for his art of lyricism, ‘Celestial‘ also showcases the artist’s intense gift as a songwriter and most importantly a beautiful storyteller. The track fully captivates you, transporting you to the world of the singer’s imagination. Ed Sheeran does what he does the best, consuming you with each beautifully written line. Especially verses like “We are designed to love and break And to rinse and repeat it all again”, the singer creates a magic that will give you a spellbound experience.
Apart from the prepossessing lyrics, what allured me the most toward the track is the heavenly voice of the singer. This Grammy-winning artist has presented a soothing yet energetic vocal tune and singing ability in the track, ‘Celestial’ that speaks life into the lyrics. The emotions and excitement of his voice will most definitely get to you and is the soul of the track. The voice complemented the lyrics so well that at one point the audience will feel the chills and shivers in their skin.
The composition of the track also needs special mention here as the talented artist is known for producing and composing most of his songs. The credit for creating a theme so enchanting goes directly to the composition and mixing of the track. On top of that, the video of ‘Celestial’ follows an interesting theme, showing the singer living in a world of Pokemons, where Snorlax saves Sheeran from a car accident and a Lapras that takes him across a river. The artistically pleasing sketches were done by Yu Nagaba, who created the images based on the doodles of Sheeran in his childhood.
The song came out ahead of the launching of new games, Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet launching on Nintendo Switch on November 18.
