What is Ed Sheeran's new album called?

Ed Sheeran's new album is titled 'Autumn Variations.'

The name of this new album is a departure from Ed's usual numerical theme. The singer's previous records have been titled '+', 'x', '÷', '=' and '-', however Ed has decided to change things up.

He took to Instagram to explain the album's title, saying: "I find that autumn is a season with a lot of change coming out of summer. People are getting out of relationships, getting into relationships, being very lonely."

Ed was also inspired by composer Edgar Elgar, who composed ‘Enigma Variations', where each of the 14 compositions were about a different one of his friends.
