Ed Sheeran has announced his sixth studio album, entitled – and pronounced “subtract”.

The fifth and final entry in his series of albums titled with mathematical symbols, Sheeran wrote and recorded its 14 tracks with Aaron Dessner, a member of US alt-rock band the National who also had a major creative role in Taylor Swift’s Folklore and Evermore. It will be released on 5 May.

It is billed as a return to traditional singer-songwriter performance, after the polished pop of much of Sheeran’s catalogue; a press release promises songs ranging from “pared back, folk-leaning textures to bolder, full-band/orchestral arrangements”.

In a statement accompanying the album announcement, Sheeran said he had scrapped 10 years of work on – (initially intended as a purely acoustic album) that had resulted in hundreds of songs, after a series of events in his personal life in early 2022. “In just over a week, I replaced a decade’s worth of work with my deepest darkest thoughts,” he said.
