Ed Sheeran inspires with Indian single Sapphire and Bollywood star!

Wagholi, Indien - Ed Sheeran has published his new single "Sapphire" today, which is characterized by a fusion of its typical musical elements and South Asian influences, such as percussion and sitar. This publication marks the third single from his upcoming album "Play", which is due to be released on September 12th. For the song, Sheeran worked with the Indian musician Arijit Singh, which not only gave him new creative impulses, but also strengthened his connection to the Indian music scene. In the associated music video, the Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan can be seen, which gives the project additional attention. According to OE24, the album announcement refers to the parallels between Indian, Persian and Irish music.

The first single of the album bears the Persian title "Azizam" and is a testimony of Sheeran's joy of experimentation with musical styles from all over the world. A remarkable aspect of the production of "Sapphire" is that Sheeran has completed the recording process in Goa, surrounded by Indian musicians. This experience inspired him and opened up new perspectives for his music because in his words he describes the parallels between these different music traditions. Tagesspiegel emphasizes that Sheeran is one of the best-known pop stars worldwide, with over 45 million albums and 150 million singles.
