The fourth installment in Sheeran�s symbol album series = is Ed�s most accomplished work yet; the evolution of an artist who continues to tread new ground. A body of songs that were made over a four-year period following his seminal ��� (Divide) album era, thematically, �=� finds Ed taking stock of his life and the people in it, as he explores the varying degrees of love (�The Joker And The Queen�, �First Times�, �2step'), loss (�Visiting Hours�), resilience (�Can�t Stop The Rain�) and fatherhood (�Sandman�, �Leave Your Life�), while also processing his reality and career (�Tides�). Sonically, �=� encapsulates Ed�s versatile musical palette, spanning signature, guitar-led tracks and world-class balladry to weightier, euphoric production moments, as first showcased on the album�s lead single �Bad Habits,� released earlier this summer.
