Pressing Play on Ed Sheeran: Highs, Lows, and the Best Way to Listen
Ed Sheeran’s Play is the first in his new “media control” series (Play, Pause, Rewind, Fast Forward, Stop), and it’s the most sonically adventurous he’s been in years. Recorded partly in Goa, the album fuses Ed’s classic singer-songwriter core with Indian percussion, Punjabi and Persian influences, and a heavy dose of dance-floor energy.

Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Man’s Best Friend’ Cover Artwork - A Leash, a Look, & a Lot to Say
The cover — shot by Bryce Anderson, the same photographer behind her Short n’ Sweet visuals — is everything you’d expect from pop’s most charming agent of chaos. Posing on all fours in stilettos, satin, and pure sass while a suited mystery man holds her by the hair, the image is sending the internet into a full-blown spiral. It’s provocative, it’s polarizing — and yeah, that’s the whole point.
