"Ed Sheeran's 'Subtract': A Profound and Personal Album"

Ed Sheeran's new album Subtract, released on Friday, reveals the depths of his depression and grief over the past two years, including the loss of his close friend Jamal Edwards, his wife Cherry Seaborn's health issues, and a plagiarism court case. The album features maritime metaphors to explain his depression, with highlights including the song Eyes Closed. The album has received overwhelmingly positive reviews, with critics calling it his best ever album. Sheeran also recently broke down in tears after a jury found his hit song Thinking Out Loud did not copy Marvin Gaye's classic Let's Get It On.
