Hello, World.
Cue all my friends sighing as they open up this post, as this album is all I have been talking about the past three days, and they all clearly want to murder me for ranting more about this.
Therefore, as all my friends close this tab on their browser screens, I prepare myself to receive almost no pageviews for this post at all. Now, if you're still here, do enjoy my hysterical review of Ed Sheeran's Divide.
Okay, one word: AMAZING. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
This album helped me to join the Ed Sheeran fandom, and really, I do think I've been missing out so much on life because this album makes me so happy, I can't even. I think Ed is the only person who can 'just walk out for a year, then come back with a new album and shake the whole music industry' - in the words of Sara.
I listened to the whole album at like 10 in the night the day it released. I looked like I desperately required mental assistance, the way I was dancing and crying and fangirling in general. OH MY GOD. We all know Shape of You and Castle on the Hill, but the range of songs in this album are mind-blowing. Along with those beautiful love songs that I'd love to slow-dance to (Perfect, How Would You Feel, etc), there are songs from every possible genre that literally let you travel the world. I'm talking Nancy Mulligan with the Irish jig-y sound, Bibia Be Ye Ye with the African beats and Barcelona, which helps me feel like an excelling Spanish student because I understand everything he says in Spanish (yay!!).
And can we just talk about New Man for a second? THAT IS THE SASSIEST, MOST AMAZING SONG EVER. THE LYRICS HAVE ME SITTING LIKE RIHANNA IN THE 'SAVAGE' MEME, DAAAAMN!!
And now we shall come to highlight of this album - Supermarket Flowers. That song is one roller-coaster of emotions. The song is supposedly about Ed's grandmother, whom he lost while he was making the album in the studio. That song is so sad, I was literally crying on the second line. It is heartwrenchingly sad and yet so beautiful, I couldn't handle it.
The only song I wasn't that fond of was Eraser, because I didn't think rapping suited Ed that much and also he sounded like twenty one pilots and I didn't think it was right for Ed Sheeran to sound like twenty one pilots.
But overall, I genuinely loved this album, and I found it better than Glory Days by Little Mix, which is saying a lot. It's definitely one of my all-time favourites, and I recommend it to everyone that actually chose to deal with me fangirling. (Thanks for doing that, I appreciate the effort you took.)
