Ed Sheeran Performs New Song “Plastic Bag” from New Album “Autumn Variations” at Amazon Music Live
British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran will release his seventh studio album “Autumn Variations” on September 29, 2023 via his own label Gingerbread Man Records.
It is his first non-collaborative studio album with a title which is not a mathematical symbol.
The album comprises 14-track, where he worked with Aaron Dessner of The National.
The album is inspired by composer Elgar, who composed “Enigma Variations”. The title nods to a project from Elgar.
“Last autumn, I found that my friends and I were going through so many life changes. After the heat of the summer, everything either calmed, settled, fell apart, came to a head or imploded,” Ed Sheeran said. “When I went through a difficult time at the start of last year, writing songs helped me understand my feelings and come to terms with what was going on, and when I learned about my friend's different situations, I wrote songs, some from their perspectives, some from mine, to capture how they and I viewed the world at that time. There were highs of falling in love and new friendships among lows of heartbreak, depression, loneliness and confusion.”- fQ3X309p04c

He continued, “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. When I recorded Subtract with Aaron Dessner, we clicked immediately. We wrote and recorded non-stop and this album was born out of that partnership. I feel he has captured the feeling of autumn so wonderfully in his sonics and I hope everyone loves it as much as I do.”
From the album, he first performed a new song “Plastic Bag” at Amazon Music Live.
The track was written by Ed Sheeran, and Aaron Dessner, who also produced it.- source : YouTube
