Ed Sheeran: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

Музыка

The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Bobby Carter | October 26, 2021
Decked in a hoodie, cargo pants and coveted sneakers, a slimmed-down and clean-shaven Ed Sheeran stands surrounded by bookshelves and a host of world-class musicians. He’s flanked by music director to the stars, Adam Blackstone, who assembled the band and handled bass guitar duties. After opening this Tiny Desk (home) concert with his latest single, “Shivers,” Sheeran introduces himself and proceeds with more hits, new tunes, and a surprise throwback.
The English singer-songwriter may appear acclimated to a live band, but it’s a pretty rare occasion. For more than a decade, Sheeran’s become revered for ripping down stadiums, but usually (and remarkably) it’s just him, a guitar and loop pedals.
The material released so far from his upcoming album, = (out Oct. 29), leans heavily into the ’80s pop sphere and provides glimpses into Sheeran’s personal life during his time away. Here, he debuts “Overpass Graffiti,” an uptempo ode to the endurance of long love. “Visiting Hours” is a heartfelt dedication to his close friend and mentor, Australian record executive Michael Gudinski, who passed away in March.
Although most of the setlist honors =, Sheeran veers momentarily to take us to church with 2014’s “Make It Rain” from the TV show Sons of Anarchy. The choir only takes up a smidgen of physical real estate, but their voices manage to engulf the entire space, propelling the song to another stratosphere. He closes the performance with a quiet storm version of his summer single “Bad Habits.”

    The Vocals in this one… did you hear this? Those runs, the belting and the soul in his voice. He is showing of what he can do vocally. Reminds me a bit of back then, when less people knew him and he was perceived more as a singer and performer than the composer and artist he is. Very much effort put into this, as if he wanted to prove a point, when it all starts again now. Still the best one out there…

    As much as I love Em, it's not the same. Em can for sure make the same "sounds"/"voices" as the studio versions, but he's under different constraints, such as breath, and intensity. He needs a way different version of the songs live, compared to the studio versions. That's why he (as well as many other rap artists) use a 2nd guy to supplement in during live performances. So whilst Ed can maintain this level (and above) on his tours, Em needs someone to add in, because even tho his breath control is pretty insane, it's not at the level required to maintain HIS performance. But who can blame him, man is fkin 50 at this point. Still my goat, dont' get me wrong.@@yourconscience507

    There are so many "musicians/singers" who you can so clearly tell they are being pushed/pulled through the process. They know someone or have something and those around them so desperately want them to be a star. When you watch Ed Sheeran you are reminded what raw natural talent is. I'm not saying he hasn't worked hard at his craft but this guy just has it. Amazing.

    I was excited that he started with Shivers instead of Bad Habits! Good choice, since Bad Habits is all over the radio right now. Ed is so fantastic live! I've never heard him in-person, but these performances are proof that he excels in settings like this. Well done, Ed! Edit: I also want to add that the backup singers were on FIRE! What powerful vocals! The instrumentalists were amazing, too. Wonderful performances, all around!

    Was für ein grandioser Erfolg. Vom Strassenmusiker zum Weltstar. Niemand füllt die Stadien wie er, und sooo schön wenn Alle auf seinen Konzerten mitsingen. Gänsehautmoment.

    One of the best Tiny Desk performances ever! Ed's band and voice sounding sharp and tight!
