Global music sensation Ed Sheeran has just released a brand-new song called “Azizam”, the latest track from his upcoming album titled Play. But what’s really got fans excited—especially in India—is the news that Ed has collaborated with Indian music legend Arijit Singh for the album.
During his recent trip to India, Ed opened up about his special experience working with Arijit. He revealed that the collaboration was not just a musical partnership but also a memorable adventure that brought him closer to Indian culture.
Talking about how it all happened, Ed Sheeran described the trip as “a pilgrimage with my dad.” To reach Arijit’s home, the singer and his father took a three-hour flight followed by a five-and-a-half-hour car ride. The long journey was filled with excitement and curiosity. Ed smiled as he recalled how Arijit told him, “If you want vocals, you have to come to me.”
Once they arrived in Jiaganj, a small town in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal, Arijit welcomed Ed and took him on a ride through his village—on mopeds! Ed described the day as “really fun” and full of laughs and unforgettable memories. The local people were thrilled to see the two stars together, and videos of them riding mopeds quickly went viral on social media.
This wasn’t the only highlight of Ed’s India tour. The “Shape of You” singer also met Bollywood actor John Abraham in Mumbai. The two stars shared a fun moment online when Ed posted a photo of them together. John was wearing a football jersey, and Ed joked in the caption, “@thejohnabraham is an @ipswichtown fan now,” referring to his favorite football club, Ipswich Town FC in England.
From exploring the streets of a small village in Bengal to sharing football jokes in Mumbai, Ed Sheeran’s journey through India was full of rich experiences, cultural exchange, and joyful connections.
What makes this story even more special is the genuine bond between Ed and Arijit. Despite being two artists from very different parts of the world, their love for music brought them together in the most heartfelt way. Fans are now eagerly waiting to hear the full version of their collaboration in Ed’s upcoming album, Play.
Ed Sheeran’s trip to India has shown how music can build bridges between cultures and create beautiful memories. Whether it was riding mopeds in Murshidabad or meeting stars in Mumbai, his journey was more than just a tour—it was an experience of a lifetime.
With the release of “Azizam” and the announcement of his work with Arijit Singh, the buzz around Ed Sheeran’s Play album is growing stronger than ever. Fans across the globe—especially in India—can’t wait to hear what this powerful duo has created together.
