That album established his signature style of pop songwriting grounded in acoustic guitar and hip-hop influenced beats. His subsequent releases have consistently achieved record-breaking chart success worldwide, including multiple Grammy Awards. The “Play” project originally focused on his explorations in guitar-driven pop.
This deluxe edition expands that body of work, offering fans new content. The collaboration with producers Slatkin and P2J indicates a continued evolution of his sound, potentially incorporating more rhythmic elements. Sheeran maintains one of the most successful careers in modern music, with his stadium tours often breaking attendance records.
“Skeletons” provides a fresh entry point into the “Play” album for both dedicated listeners and new audiences. The track is available now as part of the deluxe album across all streaming services.
