X, as in “multiply,” will drop June 23, nearly three years after his first album, +. The symbolic title fits right in with his equation. At first, fans thought the album would be called = when the singer tweeted the symbol earlier in the year. Ed has been working with Rick Rubin and Pharrell for this effort, and put out a mysterious snippet of it back in February. And in 2013, he started playing new songs live, including which are expected to be on this album. Sheeran and Tori Kelly also have a song locked and ready to go, but no word on where that will appear. Even though I’m sure we’re going to love it, at least we have Taylor Swift to vouch for it already. “Whenever I finished a song, I’d send it to her to get her opinion,” he told MTV News about his songwriting process for X. “She’s heard all the songs and she’s a good judge of what’s good or not good.” “Sing” will debut at 7:30 p.m. (BST) on Monday (2:30 p.m. ET) on British DJ Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio show.
