Ed Sheeran Revives the Double A-Side with New Songs "Shape of You" and "Castle on the Hill"

After a ridiculously successful past few years that not even a near-death experience with a sword could tarnish, Ed Sheeran has released two new songs in advance of his album Divide. It's pretty much a digital version of a double A-side vinyl single, a thing that only makes sense if you're an Old or a Nerd (The Beatles once released them way back)."Shape of You" is summery and rides a marimba melody, while "Castle on the Hill" is a rushing folk number. You can listen to both new songs below.
