Autumn Variations is a 14-track collection of new songs that explore the shared emotions of love, heartbreak, depression and loneliness among Sheeran and his friends. "Last autumn, I found that my friends and I were going through so many life changes.
After the heat of the summer, everything either calmed, settled, fell apart, came to a head or imploded," says Ed Sheeran. "My dad and brother told me about a composer called Elgar, who composed 'Enigma Variations', where each of the 14 compositions were about a different one of his friends. This is what inspired me to make this album.
When I recorded Subtract with Aaron Dessner, we clicked immediately. We wrote and recorded non-stop and this album was born out of that partnership. I feel he has captured the feeling of autumn so wonderfully in his sonics and I hope everyone loves it as much as I do."
