Bingkai Karya – On April 4, 2025, Ed Sheeran launched his newest single titled Azizam, marking the beginning of a new era in his music career. The track is available on CD, 7-inch vinyl, and digital streaming platforms. The title Azizam, which means “my dear” or “my love” in Persian, introduces a sound filled with joy, love, and energy, signaling a return to upbeat and lively music.
The song was created through a collaboration with Swedish-Iranian producer Ilya Salmanzadeh, known for working with artists like Ariana Grande and Sam Smith. Together, they explored the similarities between Persian and Irish folk music. With Ed’s curiosity and unique style, they transformed those influences into a vibrant pop track that celebrates shared human emotions and the joy of living in the moment.
Ed Sheeran expressed that although the song is very different from his past works, it still feels familiar. He wanted to capture the feeling of a party in one song, and working with Ilya helped bring that vision to life. For Sheeran, the creative process of Azizam opened up a new side of his musical journey, embracing cultural collaboration.
The official music video follows Ed Sheeran traveling across the U.S. and U.K. with a pink heart-shaped balloon. He visits cities like New York, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Boston, ending his journey with a stop at Ipswich Town FC, his favorite football club. The visuals match the spirit of the song — cheerful, free, and full of heart.
After closing the chapter of his ‘Mathematics Era.’ Ed Sheeran is stepping confidently into a new phase in 2025. With upcoming projects involving global producers and songwriters, his next album is expected to bring a fresh impact on the pop music scene. Further details about the album will be shared soon.
