Still hoping they release Afire Love in US though Hasn't Ed already said that "Afire Love" is too personal to him to ever promote as a single?

They'll probably go with either Photograph or One next.
I'm not sure if they'll go beyond five singles because I'm pretty sure he said he wants to take some time off after the Wembley shows, which would wrap up a years worth of touring and promotion since the album was released.
I won't be surprised if he lays quiet until around late 2016.

I think Bloodstream would probably be a European-only single. He might release another ballad here in the states but since TOL doesn't seem to be peaking just yet, he probably won't release another song from it. Afire Love seems like it caught on as far as the promotional singles went (it peaked at #37 here). But I think a potential single could be "One" or even "I'm a Mess"... since that song is more pop rock-oriented...

I won't be surprised if he lays quiet until around late 2016. Yeah I feel the next single would either be Photograph or the future Grammy-nominated One ( :) ). Nah but seriously those two definitely seem like potential U.S. hits. Since + was released in '11 and x in '14. I'm going with a 2017 release for his third studio album.

I think that's way too long, I suspect a either a late 2015 release or he's waiting until 2016, but I sure hope he isn't releasing the next in 2017...

I'd say 2016 as well. Keep in mind that + took a while to cross over to North America and in situations like that it's common for artists to have their sophomore album held back because the first era lasts so long. X is hitting on both sides of the Atlantic simultaneously now so it's likely there won't be as long a wait.

I'm happy for his success but I can't seem to enjoy any of his singles lately. Drunk remains my favorite song of him and I wish he does a song like that again in the future.

Ed will come to Malaysia soon, and I'm going to do anything to be able to see him because the closest that Ed will probably ever be to me.
In another note, I think Ed will only have one single left. I will go for Photgraph then.

It just occurred to me that I don't think I've listened to Ed's first album at all since the second one came out. Songs like Drunk and Lego House are great. I like The City from that album too.

He's added a few more shows in the US. One is at Barclays, one at the Prudential Center and one at the Hollywood Bowl.

WHAT. THE. f**k. Actually...I probably couldn't make that show anyway because it's the day after my friends' wedding in RI and who knows when I will make it back to NY. Oh well. At least I am seeing him! I wish it was a floor seat but beggars can't be choosers!

I really hope "Bloodstream" is the next US single. Although it's quite messy in some part (Especially the humming part tbh. The kick is somewhat odd...), but i like it better than his previous singles, + it makes Ed has some diversity through DnB. I guess he will release "I'm A Mess" and stop.

I would like "Runaway" as a single. That was my initial favourite on the album. I love the beat of it. It's so smooth and the third verse flows so well.

Photograph has the most potential left imo. I wouldn't be surprised actually if they skip Bloodstream in the US since TOL is still huge and push Photograph everywhere at once. The hits this era have been off on different sides of the Atlantic. Sing first took off big in the US, but had almost peaked by the time it was released in the UK, and then Don't took a while to climb and TOL had already topped the UK chart by the time it peaked in the US.

He really does. He's becoming my favorite current artist ever right now (male or female). I can't get enough of him now. :) And I agree, his cover of "Dirty" is amazing. So soulful... :)
I have to agree that he could release his next album in late 2016. He did say he was taking a year off after the tour (which will end in July).
My only wish is for TOL to finally give him that long awaited Grammy Award!

Wow! His performance at the Brits was amazing! The sound of him hitting the guitar for a beat didn't translate as well but that was beyond his role.

Ok, so I'm late to the party, but I'm listening to this album now. haha He is so talented. I'm impressed with him more and more with each video. That "Dirrty" cover was so unexpected, but thats what I love about this guy!
