Ed Sheeran: 'I've evolved as a musician'

British superstar Ed Sheeran has revealed that he feels as though he has evolved since releasing his debut studio album, '+'.

Speaking to MTV about his career so far, the hitmaker explained that it's important to always evolve as a musician and songwriter, because people will keep interested that way:

"I think you do have to continue to improve yourself. ['Sing'] felt like the furthest away of anything I have ever done, and I would prefer to be talked about than not talked about and sticking out a song that makes everyone go 'huh?' I think is more interesting than sticking out a song that makes everyone go 'ah yeah, he's back yeah cool'. Do something that really rocks the boat a little bit and I think it's a good song."

"I think it was very easy to improve on the first album. I think it was a great stepping stone, it opened all the doors it needed to, and I would say there are some songs on that album that I would put on this album. But I've evolved as a musician, it."
