Artist News Releases
Ed Sheeran announces duets album, releases Chance The Rapper collaboration
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 24 May 2019
Ed Sheeran hasn’t just done a terrible collaboration with Justin Bieber recently. No, he’s done terrible collaborations with loads of people. Well collaborations. Maybe some of them aren’t terrible. Terrible or not, he’s definitely putting them all out on a new album. Confirmed to much hype yesterday, that record will be called ‘No 6 Collaborations Project’.
“Before I was signed in 2011, I made an EP called ‘No 5 Collaborations Project'”, explains Sheeran. “Since then, I’ve always wanted to do another, so I started ‘No 6’ on my laptop when I was on tour last year. I’m a huge fan of all the artists I’ve collaborated with and it’s been a lot of fun to make”.
For the most part, he’s still keeping the names of his collaborators under his hat – for now – so you’ll have to wait and see who’s involved.
The track he did with Justin Bieber is one of the seven worst things ever recorded, of course, so that’s the low benchmark. Alongside the album announcement he’s released a new track featuring Chance The Rapper and PnB Rock, which is better. So we’ll see how it goes. Maybe he’s going from worst to best and the final collaboration to see the light of day will be a work of genius. Like, absolute fucking genius.
‘No 6 Collaborations Project’ will be out on 12 Jul. Watch the lyric video for ‘Cross Me’, featuring Chance The Rapper and PnB Rock here:
