Ed Sheeran is giving us another taste of his forthcoming No. 6 Collaborations album. 

The two new tracks feature the ginger singer’s collab with Bruno Mars and Chris Stapleton on “Blow” and Yebba on “Best Part of Me.”

“I loved making both records. Yebba is phenomenal, she’s onto massive things. Bruno, Chris and I had a lot of fun recording. Play them loud, tell your mates, enjoy,” Sheeran said in an announcement.

The two new tracks join the previously released hit “I Don’t Care” with Justin Bieber, “Cross Me” with Chance the Rapper and PnB Rock, and last week’s “Beautiful People” with Khalid.

“Before I was signed in 2011, I made an EP called No. 5 Collaborations Project. Since then, I’ve always wanted to do another, so I started No. 6 on my laptop when I was on tour last year. I’m a huge fan of all the artists I’ve collaborated with and it’s been a lot of fun to make. No.6 Collaborations Project will be out everywhere on 12 July. It’s available to pre-order from midnight tonight local time and my song with Chance the Rapper and PnB Rock will be out everywhere at the same time x,” said the singer-songwriter in the album announcement.

Grammy Award winner Chris Stapleton will kick off his 2019 All-American tour this summer, with the first show happening in Allentown Pennsylvania on July 9th and last on November second in Louisville, Kentucky.

The “Broken Halos” singer began the All-American tour in 2017 and will only be resuming already what is going on. He will be joined by Margo Price and Brent Cobb of the Marcus King Band and brothers Kendell and Osborne Marvel who will perform as guests.

Before resuming his tour, Stapleton is scheduled to perform in Los Angeles during the Grammy week. He was one of the artists performing at the Chris Cornell tribute concert alongside Brandi Carlile to re-create Temple of the Dog’s Hunger Strike.

Stapleton will also travel outside of the country for shows in Ireland, Scotland and London to take part in the overseas country festival C2c held this March. Shortly after the overseas shows, Stapleton will headline a stadium show in Atlanta—singing alongside George Strait.

While his fans will have to wait a bit longer to see whether the country singer clinches a Grammy award in the three categories he is nominated in, they won’t have to wait long to buy tickets for his All-American tour. The tickets will be available starting February first, ten days before the Grammies are held.

Ed Sheeran is giving us another taste of his forthcoming No. 6 Collaborations album. 

The two new tracks feature the ginger singer’s collab with Bruno Mars and Chris Stapleton on “Blow” and Yebba on “Best Part of Me.”

“I loved making both records. Yebba is phenomenal, she’s onto massive things. Bruno, Chris and I had a lot of fun recording. Play them loud, tell your mates, enjoy,” Sheeran said in an announcement.

The two new tracks join the previously released hit “I Don’t Care” with Justin Bieber, “Cross Me” with Chance the Rapper and PnB Rock, and last week’s “Beautiful People” with Khalid.

“Before I was signed in 2011, I made an EP called No. 5 Collaborations Project. Since then, I’ve always wanted to do another, so I started No. 6 on my laptop when I was on tour last year. I’m a huge fan of all the artists I’ve collaborated with and it’s been a lot of fun to make. No.6 Collaborations Project will be out everywhere on 12 July. It’s available to pre-order from midnight tonight local time and my song with Chance the Rapper and PnB Rock will be out everywhere at the same time x,” said the singer-songwriter in the album announcement.

Grammy Award winner Chris Stapleton will kick off his 2019 All-American tour this summer, with the first show happening in Allentown Pennsylvania on July 9th and last on November second in Louisville, Kentucky.

The “Broken Halos” singer began the All-American tour in 2017 and will only be resuming already what is going on. He will be joined by Margo Price and Brent Cobb of the Marcus King Band and brothers Kendell and Osborne Marvel who will perform as guests.

Before resuming his tour, Stapleton is scheduled to perform in Los Angeles during the Grammy week. He was one of the artists performing at the Chris Cornell tribute concert alongside Brandi Carlile to re-create Temple of the Dog’s Hunger Strike.

Stapleton will also travel outside of the country for shows in Ireland, Scotland and London to take part in the overseas country festival C2c held this March. Shortly after the overseas shows, Stapleton will headline a stadium show in Atlanta—singing alongside George Strait.

While his fans will have to wait a bit longer to see whether the country singer clinches a Grammy award in the three categories he is nominated in, they won’t have to wait long to buy tickets for his All-American tour. The tickets will be available starting February first, ten days before the Grammies are held.
