Loose Change (EP)
''Loose Change'' is an independently-released EP by British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. The EP was recorded at Surrey's Sticky Studios, and produced by Jake Gosling. Initially released in 2010 before Sheeran had received worldwide critical acclaim, the EP has been re-released three times: in 2011; in 2015 as part of Sheeran's release of a collection of five of his previously released EPs (known as '' 5''); and finally in 2016 on colored 12" vinyl. The title "Loose Change" is derived from the second verse of the album's leading track; ''The A Team''. The EP was the second part of what Sheeran called ''The Five EP Projects'', all of which were funded privately by Sheeran and released independently. The initial release was deemed successful due to the opening track "The A Team" becoming a hit. When the EP was re-released in 2015 as part of the '' 5'' EP box-set collection, track one was changed from "The A Team" to "Let It Out", the lead single from Sheeran's previous EP. This wa ...

Songs I Wrote With Amy
''Songs I Wrote with Amy'' is an extended play, independently released by Ed Sheeran on 18 April 2010. All of the songs were written collaboratively by Ed Sheeran and Amy Wadge. The EP is a folk album of what journalist David Nolan described as "polite, discreet adult offerings aimed at a grown-up audience," with "world-weary songs of mornings after, indecision and regret." Background and release ''Songs I Wrote with Amy'' is the third of a series of five EPs in different genres that Ed Sheeran released independently in quick succession from 2009 to 2010. The previous EP, 2010's ''Loose Change'', sold enough copies for Sheeran to afford to record a follow-up two months later. A few years prior, Sheeran's management company had introduced Sheeran to English singer-songwriter Amy Wadge. He traveled to Wales, where she lived, and the two wrote seven songs in two days in Wadge's shed. These included "She," about which Wadge commented to BBC Wales: "He was 17 when he came up with he l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
