Play - Zeotrope Vinyl (LP)

Zeotrope Vinyl - Limited run

Let there be new ground.

After closing the chapter on his Mathematics series, Ed Sheeran returns with Play — a record that steps forward into a fresh season of sound and collaboration.

Shaped by creative partnerships from across the world, the album explores a shared musical language that stretches beyond borders. Inspired by Indian and Persian traditions — and their unexpected connections to the Irish folk roots that first formed him — Sheeran weaves rhythm, melody, and texture into something both ancient and new.

At the same time, familiar spaces remain. Acoustic songs and intimate ballads return with quiet confidence, reminding us why his voice and songwriting continue to resonate so widely.

This is a record that holds tension gently — between exploration and home, innovation and tradition, energy and stillness.

Let there be movement.
Let there be melody that travels.
Let there be a sound that feels both new and known.
