Ed Sheeran’s industry connections are obviously strong. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter recruited some of music’s biggest names for his No. 6 Collaborations Project—his first full-length release since 2017’s ÷ (Divide).
The 15-track effort officially dropped Thursday, with a whopping 21 features by everyone from Justin Bieber and Cardi B to Chance the Rapper and Eminem to Travis Scott and Bruno Mars.
“Before I was signed in 2011, I made an EP called No.5 Collaborations Project,” Sheeran said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “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.”
You can stream No. 6 Collaborations Project on all major platforms. In support of the release, Sheeran will launch a series of pop-up shops around the world this weekend. The shops will offer exclusive merchandise made in collaboration with Rhude, Chinatown Market, and KidSuper. Check out the dates and locations for the event below.
Sheeran also shared a nearly hour-long chat with Charlamagne, which you can catch below:
