Review
Ed Sheeran's "+" hit the scene in 2011, and man, it's like a time capsule of feels. This album is where Ed really found his groove, mixing up acoustic guitar vibes with some seriously catchy tunes. It's got 12 tracks that'll take you on a journey through love, heartbreak, and all the messy stuff in between.
You've probably heard "The A Team" and "You Need Me, I Don't Need You" on the radio a million times, but there's so much more to discover here. Ed and Jake Gosling kept things simple in the production department, letting Ed's voice and guitar do most of the heavy lifting. It works like a charm, especially on tracks like "Wake Me Up" and "Kiss Me" where you can really feel the raw emotion coming through.
What's cool about "+" is how Ed mixes things up genre-wise. One minute you're vibing to a folky tune, and the next you're nodding along to something with a hip-hop edge. It's like a musical buffet, and trust me, you'll want to try everything. This album didn't just kick off Ed's career - it showed the world that this ginger-haired dude from England had something special to say, and we were all ears. - Rory
