Ed Sheeran on new album: 'Everything’s just a little bit better compared to my last one'

Ed Sheeran believes his new album is step up in quality from his debut.

The singer released his first album '+' in 2011 and on Monday (June 23) he debuted his sophomore effort 'x'.

It has already topped charts in 65 countries across the world and it is sure to be a massive hit.

Speaking to BuzzFeed about the difference between 'x' and '+', Sheeran said:

"It sums up the last three years of my life pretty accurately. The songs are better, my singing’s better, my guitar playing’s better, production’s better. Everything’s just got a little bit better.

"I did most of the first record when I was 17 and most of this one when I was 22 so there’s like a five-year experience gap in that, I guess. So yeah, it’s just a bit more developed."
