Ed Sheeran - - (Subtract)

- (subtract) is the fifth studio album by British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, released in May 2023 via Asylum Records and Atlantic Records.

Ed Sheeran has released his new album ‘-‘ (Subtract) - the last in his decade-spanning mathematical album era - on 5 May 2023. An album that revisits Ed’s singer songwriter roots, and one that was written against a backdrop of personal grief and hope, ‘-’ (Subtract) presents one of the biggest stars on the planet at his most vulnerable and honest.

Ed Sheeran burst onto the UK music scene in 2011 with his debut album ‘+’. Rapidly establishing himself as a history-making artist, he followed with ‘x’, ‘÷’, ‘No.6 Collaborations Project’ and ‘=’ - a catalogue that has seen Sheeran become one of the world’s biggest musical success stories of the 21st century.

Subtracxt was produced and co-written by Aaron Dessner of the indie rock band The National, who also produced Taylor Swift's albums Folklore and Evermore.

Sheeran and Dessner wrote over thirty songs together during a month-long studio session, which was eventually cut down to the album's fourteen tracks.

This album is a limited edition on opaque yellow coloured vinyl with a printed inner sleeve, pressed in Germany via Asylum Records.
