Ed Sheeran had a conversation with Rolling Stone and he revealed a number of things among which he disclosed that his popular love song, Shape Of You, was supposed to have a remix with international rap god, Jay Z.
He stated that he sent the song to the rapper who in turn sent it back, asserting that the song didn’t need a rap verse.
“We were in touch, I sent him the song, and he said, ‘I don’t think the song needs a rap verse.’ He was probably right. He’s got a very, very good ear. He usually gets things right. It was a very natural, respectful pass”, the singer recounted.
In the interview, Ed Sheeran also dug deep into his opinions on music critics, stating that he didn’t see the need for a review. He said “Why do you need to read a review? Listen to it. It’s freely available! Make up your own mind. I would never read an album review and go, ‘I’m not gonna listen to that now.’”
