Ed Sheeran Presses ‘Play' on Upcoming Album With Nostalgic Single ‘Old Phone'
Ed Sheeran hits rewind on 'Old Phone,' the latest single from his forthcoming studio album Play, which doubles as a resurfaced time capsule and a teleportation device. The musician teased the record earlier this week with an Instagram account filled with unseen photos stored on an iPhone he had stopped using in 2015. Like the images, 'Old Phone' is grainy, nostalgic, and a reminder of how much has changed in the past decade. With Play, out Sept. 12, Sheeran wants to move towards brighter days. ''Play' was an album that was made as a direct response to the darkest period of my life,' Sheeran shared in a statement. 'Coming out of all of that I just wanted to create joy and technicolour, and explore cultures in the countries I was touring.' Play was recorded in all the different locations the singer-songwriter visited and completed in Goa, India. It brought a lightness back to him, giving him some of 'the most fun, explorative creative days of my life.' More from Rolling Stone RBD's Christian Chavez Announces 'Sí,' a New Solo EP: I'm 'My Own Fucking Hero' Ed Sheeran, Doja Cat, Burna Boy, Rosé, and More Feature on 'F1' Soundtrack Ed Sheeran Dumps Photos From Old Phone Before Dropping New Song 'Old Phone' 'It's a real rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish, it encapsulates everything that I love about music, and the fun in it, but also where I am in life as a human, a partner, a father,' Sheeran said. He first previewed the album with 'Azizam,' an upbeat, vibrant single about letting go on the dance floor. 'Going into this album campaign I said to myself 'I just want everything I do to be fun and playful.'' Sheeran first previewed 'Old Phone' in an off-the-cuff acoustic performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in March. There, he traced its origin back to a few lawsuits he was embroiled in that required him to turn over his old devices, including a phone he stopped using in 2015 when he switched solely to email on a tablet. When he turned it on, he was pulled back in time by messages from two friends who had since died, an ex-girlfriend he was arguing with, and an estranged family member he hadn't spoken to in a decade. 'I was scrolling down,' Sheeran said at the time. 'It really spun me out.' Sheeran could have leaned into the melancholy while promoting Play, but he's been having more fun letting it all go. 'That's why we are building pubs for folk jams, doing gigs on open top buses and singing in pink cowboy hats on bars,' he said. 'The older I get the more I just want to enjoy things, and savour the moments that are mad and chaotic.' Play is the first installment in a new series of albums from Sheeran. It will be followed by Rewind, Fast-Forward, and Stop, continuing the tradition he started with Plus, Multiply, Divide, Subtract, and Equals. Track List1. 'Opening'2. 'Sapphire'3. 'Azizam'4.

Sephora shoppers rave over 'sophisticated' Armani perfume that's now 21% off
"This smells like feminine luxury. It's such a complex fragrance. Beautifully crafted. I know fragrance is deeply personal, but this one makes me feel like I could take over the world. It balances power and femininity so well." Sephora has slashed the price of a 'stop you in your tracks perfume' with thousands of fans. Sí by Giorgio Armani would typically cost £69 for a 30ml bottle but has had 21% knocked off, bringing it down to £54.45. It opens up with cassis, which may be better recognised as the leaves of blackcurrants, before deepening to a floral heart of May rose and freesia. It's got a classic base of vanilla, patchouli, ambroxan and woody notes. It was created by the in-house perfumer of Hermès, Christine Nagel who is also credited with 46 perfumes for Jo Malone, including Wood Sage & Sea Salt, £55. Another much-loved scent on salr is Guerlain's Samsara Eau de Toilette Spray - now reduced to £82 (was £110) on The Perfume Shop. Sí has brought in an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 from across 2,419 reviews. One shopper said: "This smells like feminine luxury. It's such a complex fragrance. Beautifully crafted. I know fragrance is deeply personal, but this one makes me feel like I could take over the world. It balances power and femininity so well." A second penned: "This is a stop you in your tracks perfume! It's a fragrance that's alluring and sophisticated, pretty yet mysterious. I've been asked by strangers what perfume I'm wearing, and even asked where they could buy it…for their girlfriend! So yes… Si is for me, always." A third wrote: "This is my signature scent! It's always my go to for a subtle yet intriguing smell. I like scents that invite people in a gentle way and this is one I'll always keep on hand." A fourth added: "Classy. This scent is very sophisticated. I love wearing this in the winter in my little black dress dripping in diamonds. It is sweet & spicy at the same. I absolutely adore it. To those who say it's too mature, my 13 year old loves it." There have been mixed takes on the longevity with one shopper saying: "Sample arrived quickly and was well packaged. Unfortunately my partner didn't like the smell of it. He said it was too strong." Some swing the other way, writing: "I really like this fragrance, classy and spicy without being overpowering. But, it lasts no longer than an hour on me! I guess it's my chemistry - and I'm sad because I would have invested in this." Application of perfume can have a huge impact on the longevity of a scent. We would always recommend applying perfume directly to clean and freshly moisturised skin with at least one spritz per pulse point. It's also important to store perfume in a cool and dark place such as a cupboard or drawer.
