This summer, Ed released his second album entitled «X», one of the producers which was, incidentally, Pharrell Williams. It was already much more serious and mature work, fix victorious creative method Sheeran combining hangover British melancholy folk guitar and hip-hop elements. Given such a wide arsenal of techniques, his victory in the category of more than logical.
