From what I'm hearing, the new Ed Sheeran single is called The Afterglow and it's hitting radio on Monday (for some reason...).
Thread placed here until confirmation can be found publicly.

Whoa like a lead single to a new album or something else? I didn't expect new material from him until spring at the earliest.

The title gives me "+" era ballad vibes which would be a nice change of pace in his post-shape of you repertoire but we'll see

I do think it's fake news. Ed is a huge name right now, it would've been all over the net if he was releasing new music Monday.

Why would radio even need notice though? He can drop it on Monday and radio will play it regardless.

I would not be opposed to new Ed Sheeran music, even if Divide sorta slipped into the disappointing followup category.

Could there be any rationale for releasing a lead single 4 days before christmas? If it is a lead single i'll be shocked lol. Also.. if he wanted a christmas single he would have dropped it early december, late november. Why 4 days before christmas

This should be on the singles section, it’s not the lead for the album but it’s impacting us pop radio today

Cute. Wonder if it can make Top 10 with those missing tracking days and all the Christmas songs.

I'd agree that the word I would describe this is "cute". I think his pop sound was getting a little old, so I think this is a good move in terms of his sound; now whether this will be a hit I'm not so sure though.
