Ed Sheeran is back with a new album. His sixth album is called “Subtract” and has been breaking popularity records for several days. The musician also recently won a lawsuit in which he was accused of copyright infringement in the song “Thinking Out Loud”.
After very difficult months, he finally got out of the way. Ed Sheeran first won a plagiarism lawsuit against him, and now his album Subtract is number one in the charts and sales in the UK and many other countries.
“At the moment I’m feeling a little lost. I made this album to understand what’s going on in my head right now. I’m so proud of this record. I woke up this morning feeling relieved because it’s finally released and people will be able to hear it.” listen. I hope they find a deeper meaning there,” the singer wrote on Instagam.

Plagiarism lawsuit
“Subtract” is the sixth album released by Ed Sheeran and so far the fastest-selling album of 2023. The artist says that this is the most important work in his career. Written after difficult, personal experiences – after the death of a friend and the illness of his wife. Sheeran waited to release the album until a plagiarism lawsuit in New York was settled. Last week, a jury found that the singer had not copied a Marvin Gaye song.
“I’m very happy with the verdict because it looks like I won’t have to give up my job. At the same time, I am incredibly frustrated by the fact that for the last eight years we have been discussing two completely different songs that have different words, melody and four chords that are used by musicians every day around the world.
The Briton threatened to end his career if he lost the trial. Now the new album will be promoted during a concert tour in the United States.
