Happy New Music Friday!! The weekend is finally here. Here are our favorite releases this week.
Ed Sheeran has released his second album of the year, Autumn Variations, containing 14 songs about the people in his life. Produced by Aaron Dessner, Sheeran notes that the album is inspired by some of his favorite records – including Norah Jones’ Come Away With Me and Jack Johnson’s In Between Dreams – as he wanted a chill, easy-going record of his own; one that he doesn’t care whether or not goes to No. 1.
He told CBS Mornings, “You just have to be like, ‘I don’t care what people think. Cause people are gonna see it and they’re gonna see it being a lower figure than my other records and be like, ‘Oh, he’s on the way out.’ You just can’t go like this for your entire career, You have to have moments of, like, just doing things because you want to do them.”
This week’s New Music Friday playlist also has many of our favorite artists including Bad Bunny, AJR, Jeremy Zucker, Dean Lewis, PinkPantheress, Jorja Smith, Becky G, Feid, U2, Oliver Tree, LANY, DaBaby and more.
*NSYNC has released a single titled “Better Place” from the upcoming movie: TROLLS Band Together out November 17th. The Rolling Stones shared their second single from their upcoming album, Hackney Diamonds, titled “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” with Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder.
