from bb's, I think ed sheeran had a lot of say in his new album. listening to his own reworking of covers (a bunch on YT), for example, shows that.
as I mentioned the other day, he has serious range. I like pretty much all of it, but I can see not everything being for everyone.
and if anyone has a chance to catch any of his concert shows (I haven't seen him live, just on tv and online), he is so interesting and funny and, well, odd. heh.
