MUMBAI: It seems like Ed Sheeran has found a new love- film soundtracks. The British singer/ songwriter has released a brand new track ‘All of the Stars’, from the upcoming movie ‘The Fault in Our Stars’. Sheeran uploaded the track on his YouTube account on 9 May, and within just a day has garnered over six lakh views.
The track is accompanied with a video, of which most of the footage focuses on positive messages and notes that is taken from stills in the film. Sheeran appears only at the end of the video to sing the closing line of the track, sitting on a couch with the messages visible on the wall behind him.
‘All of the Stars’ is a far cry from his previous release ‘Sing’, which has a more upbeat and funkier sound. With the new track, the 23 year old goes back to his signature sound of acoustic guitar and a light piano accompaniment. The track picks up at the chorus which is powerful and has Sheeran singing, “All of the stars will guide us home.”
