Fresh off the success of his ninth UK No. 1 album, Play, global superstar Ed Sheeran is expanding his sonic universe with the release of the ‘Play \u2013 The Remixes EP.’ This new project, born from his transformative month-long stay in India, is a vibrant cross-cultural collaboration featuring some of South Asia’s most celebrated talents.<\/p>\n
Leading the release is the hypnotic new track, \u201cSymmetry,\u201d featuring Punjabi star Karan Aujla. The official video for \u201cSymmetry,\u201d directed by Liam Pethick, showcases a high-energy performance by Sheeran, Aujla, and the globally renowned dance crew The Quick Style, blending their creative energies into a powerful visual display.<\/p>\n
The EP reimagines four tracks from the original Play album, fusing pop sensibilities with diverse Asian sounds. Collaborators include the acclaimed rapper Hanumankind, Tamil vocalist Dhee, composer Santhosh Narayanan, singer Jonita, and, of course, Karan Aujla. The EP also features a new version of the half-a-billion-streaming hit \u201cSapphire,\u201d now featuring Arijit Singh.<\/p>\n
Sheeran credits his time in India\u2014where he immersed himself in the local music scene while recording Play\u2014for the inspiration. “I\u2019ve loved this collaboration process so much and I wanted to represent as much as I could on this EP,” Sheeran said, detailing his connection with each artist. Of \u201cSymmetry,\u201d he added, \u201cKaran is culture… I feel like this is the beginning of our collaborative journey, and I\u2019m so excited to create more.\u201d<\/p>\n
The EP is a borderless celebration of music, featuring Sheeran’s first-ever Hindi song, \u201cHeaven,\u201d recorded with Jonita. The project showcases Sheeran\u2019s commitment to artistic exchange and shared voices, successfully fusing global pop with the rich musical traditions of South India and beyond.<\/p>\n
