Ed Sheeran plans a lo-fi album in the vein of Bruce Springsteen’s "Nebraska"

British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, in a new interview with "The Times", said he'd really like to get away from writing massive pop songs and try to record a “lo-fi” album inspired by Bruce Springsteen’s classic "Nebraska".

Ed k nows that such a move might not bring him another platinum record, but that’s his plan as he explained:

My plan is a lo-fi album that will be my lowest-selling, but most loved.

Springsteen is a news discovery for Sheeran, who admitted:

I only heard Springsteen recently. I was with Kit [Harington] from "Game of Thrones". We had a night out in New York, got back to his hotel to drink more, and he played "Atlantic City". Then, when I heard Nebraska…

This lo-fi album could be out as early as next year, or it could materialize four years down the line. It might depend on how fast his next project comes together.
