<p>So now there is the album, entitled +. <em>"I'd like to say it's all about positivity,"</em> <strong>Ed</strong> laughs, <em>"but really it's just a cool sign that I love. It is also one step on from all the independent releases I have done."</em></p><p><strong>Ed's</strong> album was released in September 2011 (in the UK) and features a host of very special songs. "Small Bump" is a true story, with the most heart-wrenching twist, about a friend and her baby. "Lego House" is a love song that imagines a world where you can, (<em>"pick up the pieces and build a lego house, and if things go wrong we can knock it down!"</em>). "Wake Me Up" was written while sat, really drunk, under a tree by Jamie Foxx's pool (that's another story). "Grade 8" (<em>"your body is my ball-point pen/ and your mind is my new best friend..."</em>) sees <strong>Ed</strong> as a worrier/warrior with bloodshot eyes, his heartstrings being twanged by a virtuoso guitarist. <br /><br />The truth is, there's not a bad song on it, precisely because <strong>Ed</strong> wouldn't dream of allowing there to be a bad song on it, he's that type of guy. As you will soon see. <em>"I have slept on a different sofa every night for two and a half years so I can do this,"</em> <strong>Ed</strong> says. <em>"But the sofa thing can get lonely. I'm ready for my own place now; I'm ready for the next level."</em></p>
