Ed Sheeran's two comeback singles - “Castle on the Hill” and “Shape Of You” - mark a hugely exciting return and another forward-thinking move for the multi award-winning, modern-day troubadour. Unveiled in the early hours of this morning, the singles are Ed’s first releases since 2015 and showcase two very different sides to his unparalleled musical palate. “Castle On The Hill”, written by Ed and Benny Blanco (also on production), pays homage to growing up in Framingham, Suffolk. Driving beats and Springsteen-esque riffs collide to create another stadium-ready anthem. “Shape Of You”, written by Ed, Johnny McDaid and Steve Mac (also on production), dismantles and rebuilds modern-pop music using little more than a loop pedal. The record is an extension of the sound for which Ed's become so well-known and has set him apart from his peers…
BOTH of these singles are being worked in the UK. BOTH singles are A List Records across Radio 1 and Capital FM from today!
As the extract from the press release above states, the two songs showcase the two sides of Ed’s musical talents and we are treating these equally.
Global retail support from Spotify, Apple and Deezer is extensive so we’re all geared up to deliver TWO hits…
You will have assets for both singles and we ask that you create the airtime for both to exist – if there is not the room on one format, split the singles over varying formats.
