Russ Are You Entertained

Russ and Ed Sheeran both know how to make hits on their own account, but this New Music Friday, they came together to deliver “Are You Entertained” as a tribute to their late friend Jamal Edwards MBE, who tragically passed away earlier this year.

The “Ride Slow” singer gave some of the back story to the single over on YouTube, writing, “I’m so grateful for this moment. I walked up to Ed at a restaurant (Carbone) and assumed he didn’t know who I was. Just wanted to introduce myself and say what’s up. Next thing I know I’m eating pasta and drinking wine at his table talkin bout everything.”

“Fast forward and we had this song and we wanted to shoot a video to it so he introduced me to Jamal Edwards, a brilliant visionary and special soul who wrote the treatment for the video.”

Russ shared that the day before he was meant to fly out to London to film the visual, they received the tragic news that Jamal had passed away.

“I had never met Jamal other than those emails but I can tell he was a special person. The way Ed, Jamal’s mother Brenda, his sister Tanisha, the director Jake Nava, the producer Ali and everyone else who worked on this rallied together and still wanted to make Jamal’s vision come to life, showed the impact he had.”

Lyrics

[Intro: Russell Crowe]
Are you not entertained?
Are you not entertained? (One)

[Chorus: Ed Sheeran & Russ]
Every time, every night is a loose one
And every flight, you know that I put the crew on
You say that I dropped off, well, then tell me what you done
I’m still in my winnin’ phase, yeah, I been away
Are you entertained? I’m gone (Yeah)

[Verse 1: Russ]
The god in me, that’s what I’m constantly summonin’
I love the climb, I don’t care where the summit is
Funny when people be sayin’ I peaked (Hah)
Retired my parents, they live at the beach
Models and freaks is my track record (Yeah)
I made my homies my staff members
Got myself lit to give y’all the light
Usin’ my mind to attract better
At first when adversity came, I said, “Why me?”
Now I be starin’ it down sayin’, “Try me”
Kyrie, I handle it well
They still takin’ shots, tryna hand me a L
But I pass on that
Anger, I try not to act on that
I’ma just transmute it
Put it all back in the music

[Bridge: Russ]
It’s feelin’ like I might just be on a roll
I’m never sellin’ my soul
My records are platinum and gold
It just keeps happenin’, woah
It’s feelin’ like I might just be on a roll
I’m never sellin’ my soul
My records are platinum and gold
It just keeps happenin’, woah

[Chorus: Russ]
Every time, you see me shine and move up (Yeah)
My seat is reclined, the jet is G5, I blew up (Blew up)
You tell me I fell off, but tell me what you done
I’m still in my winnin’ phase, ‘Rari switchin’ lanes
Are you entertained? I’m gone

[Verse 2: Ed Sheeran]
Well, I’m in the pub with the bros
Lightin’ up something that goes, nothin’ is froze
But when I put the kettle on
It’s a number that nobody knows
I stay off the road, live in the sticks
Put my profit into mortar and bricks
You know I got good advice from a couple guys
To leave more than just stress for my kids
Well, isn’t it blissful, baby
Sittin’ in like we made it?
It’s kinda mad how the game is
You celebrate it and hate it
But I don’t pay no attention to the words
Put out another one, let it burn
Still on my list, you know what it is
They puttin’ me first, yeah
Met Russ in Carbone in New York
Now we here, and I’m killin’ the verse
And every time, it’s gotta be right
And he told me, “Teddy, boy, take ’em to church” (Ohh-ohh)
When you touch down up in London, you know what?
Give me the stage and you’re gonna see how it goes off

[Chorus: Ed Sheeran & Russ, Both]
Every time, every night is a loose one
My seat is reclined, the jet is G5, I blew up (Blew up)
You say that I dropped off, well, then tell me what you done
I’m still in my winnin’ phase, ‘Rari switchin’ lanes
Are you entertained? I’m gone
