The Name’s Sheeran. Ed Sheeran.

Ed Sheeran has written a Bond theme. It was going to happen eventually. Adele did it, Alecia Keys did it. Chris Cornell did it. Oh, I made myself sad.

Speaking on The Late Late Show in Ireland, he said he decided to write the song just in case he was ever asked for one. Because I guess that’s a normal occurrence when you’re a globe-trotting singer/songwriter.

He told host Ryan Tubridy that he had used the same tactic in his recent work with Eminem.

‘We did a song together, I had the song planned.,’ he explained.

The song has been released and it’s damn good. Some explicit language obviously.

Em’s new album Revival was released on Thursday and features 19 tracks. Given the cover art and the other song he released on his VEVO channel, expect some hard-hitting lyrics about the current state of the US. We’d expect nothing less after the bars he spat at Trump a few months back. River is currently number two on the charts, with Ed Sheeran’s Perfect coming in first.

But that’s for tomorrow’s Charts and That isn’t it?
