[Andreu 13,944]

Ed should keep it cut and stop trying to talk spanish in his songs tbh

South of the Border is basically Shape of You 2.0 with a Latin spice. 

This is one to watch. 

I dont think it sounds like SOY at all

[Andreu 13,944]

Not feeling the travis collab as a whole, even tho i kinda like travis' part

[Andreu 13,944]

Overall i think its a very weak project, i liked Divide much more. Pretty much none of the songs excited me. Particularly disappointed in the Skrillex collab, I expected a lot more

Antisocial is that TRACK 

[Queen Ari 118]

Beautiful People and Antisocial are the highlights imo 

[DiamondKing 5,115]

Antisocial should have been the lead and it's way too short 

Way to Break Your Heart is good too

Well, you need to relisten  

[Teal Ambition 31,931]

South of the Border is 100% Shape of You 2.0, but a bop nonetheless 

Not done listening to the full thing yet but I'm loving Antisocial and Take Me Back to London (he sounds like JT here)

I was thinking the same thing when I first heard it! I think he pulls it off really well.

Skimmed threw a couple songs, meh.  I Feel old with the last year or two's sound in productions i'm not a fan of that rap/urban mix with Electronic. He's trying to jump onto the trend

Pretty much what I expected - very generic tracks for the charts, very current. The standouts for me are Beautiful People (decent), Take Me Back To London (better than expected, Ed dropped some surprisingly good lines), Best Part Of Me (reminded me of someone in my life, which I noticed on second listen, made me teary-eyed), Remember The Name (ok and 50 came back with a good verse) and...Blow. OMG. I don't often say this cringey phrase but that song is THE SEX. I didn't think Ed was the least bit interested in making a track like this but wow, best track on the album and one of the best he's ever made. Kinda unsurprised it didn't take off on the charts because a track this good is simply not what the public want.

But there's something that needs to be addressed - why is no one talking about the very controversial Cardi line where she said that Ed had jungle fever? I was very shocked that no one's calling this out. I don't care if she's part black so that makes it ok, phrases like that shouldn't be thrown around like they're fun because actual black women have had this said to them and it makes them feel very uncomfortable. As for this track and Nothing On You...why's Ed making songs about having sex with random women when he's just got married? Understandable if he were a rapper as that comes with the territory and we know they're highly exaggerating that but he's supposed to be the role of the nice boy with the acoustic guitar singing earnest, sweet songs and is a one woman man. He's probably told his wife that it's just showbusiness and just meant to be chart fodder but still, it makes it seem like his image is a bit fabricated.

I only liked South Of the Border... the others are waaaay too generic and mainstream
