Ed Sheeran broke one of the rules of his tours: not going to television programs. And he did it in The revolt to face the questions and humor of David Broncano and his team. The English, who was last week in Madrid two days in a row, went to an unpublished recording of the 1st program, which was finally broadcast last night.
The English presented its two new songs, Darling y Old Phoneand spoke of his acquittal in two plagiarism judgments, his love for the spicy and the Ipswich Town Football Club and his point of view about the music industry and the obsession with statistics. He also played live (a hand in hand with Grison and his pedalra, guitar and beatbox improvising his song Don’t), But, above all, he answered the usual committed questions. Sheeran celebrated that program expands the limits of what can be said on television, since in an English channel “we would not have been able to do the last What do you prefer“The English referred to that batch of questions such as” Do you prefer a rhino as the size of a hamster, or a hamster of a size of a rhinoceros? ” Or “Talk all languages or to be able to communicate with all animals?”
One of the headlines that surprised the public of The revoltand Broncano himself, was the fact that he does not have a mobile phone. The English uses email but lacks mobile, something that confirmed before the host’s surprise and argued that he decided when he realized the time he was losing. “I understood that getting bored is good for the brain, it is the best for creativity,” he concluded.
The mobile also has something to do with its two demands for plagiarism. Thinking Out Loud y Shape of You They are, next to Perfect y Phorographtwo of the best known songs from British singer and composer, and in both cases he received two plagiarism demands. But Ed Sheeran won and was acquitted after almost ten years of judicial processes. A decade of suffering for the artist, who, however, managed to transform him into inspiration when he received the mobile phone he had to deliver for the investigation: “I found conversations with ex -girlfriends, with friends who had died, with relatives with whom I no longer spoke,” and so he was born Old Phone.
Shape Of You It was for a while the world’s most listened song in Spotify, until it advanced Blinding Lights of The Weeknd. Ed Sheeran’s reaction, according to The revoltHe was congratulating the Canadian artist by sending him a bottle of giant champagne valued at more than 1,000 euros. And, despite being one of the three or four most listened to the world, he assures that the focus is not in the statistics that govern in recent times the music industry, turning the songs into a market value. “I’ve been doing this for 15 years, new people come out every year” and, for him, the essence is still in “taking songs that mean something for you and giving concerts how best they can. People like and I will continue like this.”
