Ed Sheeran released the music video for the third single of X, “Thinking Out Loud” today. The music video is sensual and romantic. It’s very simplistic,consisting of just him and a girl dancing in a ballroom. He cheekily writes on Twitter, “I’ve learnt to dance…” This is fairly evident given the grace of the video. With so many music videos, these days, having complicated story lines and many different scenes, “Thinking Out Loud” stands out with it’s simplistic nature. Watch the music video after the jump and let us know what you think!
Sheeran also has a book coming out on Thursday titled “Ed Sheeran: A Visual Journey.” The book has illustrations by his childhood friend, artist Phillip Butah, and photographs of Sheeran’s life as well as words, of course, written by Sheeran. You can purchase the book here. And read a description of it after the jump!
Somehow on top of all these things, Sheeran is still on his world tour, which doesn’t actually end till April. Unfortunately, for most of us, the rest of the tour is in Europe and down under, but if you happen to live in either of those places and want to witness the magic that is Ed Sheeran check the dates after the jump and buy tickets here.
If you don’t already own his music, you can purchase a CD here.
