Ed Sheeran<\/b> recently shared the first set of fan-made music videos for songs from his latest LP, Autumn Variations<\/I>.<\/p>\n
The videos released by the British pop star were for “Midnight” by Meg Igarashi<\/b> from Japan, “That’s On Me” by Beatriz Santmaria Pinha<\/b> from Brazil, and “American Town” by Michael Lamhang<\/b> from the U.S.<\/p>\n
Overall, Sheeran will share 14 new music videos as part of the global competition for which there were more than 4,000 entries from 75 countries.<\/p>\n
The winners were handpicked by Sheeran. The remaining videos will be shared in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
According to a statement from Warner Music<\/I>, the project “continues the execution of Ed’s initial vision for ‘Autumn Variations’ as an album for the fans and by the fans as he spotlights their artistry.”<\/p>\n
“I made Autumn Variations for the fans and I really wanted to bring them into the fold on this album,” Sheeran said in a statement. “I was keen to see how they interpreted the music, so I decided to ask my fans from across the world to make videos for each album track.”<\/p>\n
“There were so many wonderful submissions,” he added, giving a shout out to “each and every fan who made these videos so special. I love them and hope you will too.”<\/p>\n
The Autumn Variations<\/I> record, produced by the National<\/b>‘s Aaron Dessner<\/b>, extended Sheeran’s perfect albums chart records in the U.K. and Australia to seven, all consecutive (including two in 2023). <\/p>\n
In the U.S., the record earned Sheeran his sixth No. 1 on Billboard<\/I>‘s Top Album Sales Chart.<\/p>\n
