X (произносится "multiply") — второй альбом британского автора-исполнителя Эда Ширана, вышедший 23 июня 2014 года на лейблах Asylum и Atlantic. Дебютный сингл Sing возглавил британский хит-парад, а сам альбом стал № 1 в чартах США, Австралии, Великобритании, Германии, Ирландии, Канады, Новой Зеландии, Норвегии.
Первое оригинальное европейское делюксовое лимитированное издание на компакт-диске в подарочной упаковке (Jewel Case with Card Slipcase) с 10-ти страничным буклетом и 5-ю дополнительными треками второго выдающегося студийного альбома "Х" 2014 года суперзвезды британской поп-музыки Эда Ширана.
Работа над новым альбомом началась ещё в то время, когда была только что закончена подготовка первого диска +. Причём, первый трек записывался в гостиничном номере вместе с Джонни Макдэйдом во время концертного тура его группы Snow Patrol. В дальнейшем записи проходили 3 года в разных студиях и местах мира с различными известными продюсерами, такими как Рик Рубин (работавшим с Эминемом, Jay-Z, Red Hot Chilli Peppers и другими звёздами), Фаррелл (Daft Punk, Робин Тик, N.E.R.D), Бенни Бланко (Рианна, Уиз Халифа) и Джефф Баскер (Алиша Киз, Jay-Z), которые добавили красок к работе ключевых соавторов Джонни Макдэйда (Snow Patrol) и Джейка Гослинга (который продюсировал дебютный диск «+»).
«One» стала первой песней, написанной для нового альбома. Написанная в гитарном стиле во время концертного тура в гостиничном номере в австралийском Перте в 2011 году, она стала последним треком, посвящённым бывшей подруге Alice, которая была объектом всех любовных песен его предыдущего альбома.
«I’m a Mess» стала последней песней, написанной во время сессионных записей вместе с Рубиным и одной из двух о новой подруге Ширана. Сам он характеризовал её как довольно простую песню, «сочинённую в душе». Второй песней о новой подруге стала «Don’t», причём сам Ширан сказал, что она «на 100 процентов не Тейлор Свифт», хотя он спел для неё этот трек. «Don’t» планировалась в качестве первого сингла с альбома, но он решил, что хор (особенно в линии «Don’t f- with my love») не подходит для дебютного сингла. Сначала песня была записана с Бенни Бланко, затем снова с Риком Рубином, и оба продюсера уже вместе скомпоновали итоговую версию.
«Nina» была написана вместе с Джонни Макдэйдом, и она стал первым совместным для этой пары треком для нового альбома. По словам самого Макдэйда, это «самоуничижительная» песня о любви, «где герой в основном призывает кого-то и советует ей не быть с ним».
«Photograph» также написана вместе с Макдэйдом во время поездки с его группой Snow Patrol в мае 2012 года, «вневременная баллада». Старт песни был дан фортепианными наигрышами на лаптопе Макдэйда, потом Ширан стал подпевать. Ширан утверждал, что эта песня даёт новый путь в карьере, и эта песня вытянет диск, даже если весь альбом будет провальным. Описанная как Ширановский вариант песни Angels Робби Уильямса, этот трек назвали «балладой с большими барабанами, расположенными в Нью-Йорке».
В целях продвижения нового альбома Эд Ширан выступил на нескольких телешоу. 12 апреля 2014 года он впервые представил песни «Sing» и «Don’t» в живом исполнении впервые на субботнем шоу Saturday Night Live. 16 апреля было эксклюзивное акустическое исполнение «Take It Back» на канале SB.TV. 27 апреля Ширан исполнил песню «Sing» на церемонии Logie Awards, ежегодном вручении премий в Мельбурне (Австралия).
Альбом получил как положительные, так и умеренные отзывы музыкальной критики и интернет-изданий. Англоязычный сайт-агрегатор Metacritic, собирающий отзывы и обзоры музыкальных альбомов, дал суммарную оценку в 70 % (на основании анализа 18 избранных рецензий), говоря о «в целом благоприятных отзывах». Например, похвалу он заслужил от таких изданий, как Q Magazine, Time, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, USA Today. Обозреватель Нил МакКормик из газеты The Daily Telegraph дал наивысший рейтинг диску, пять из пяти звёзд, комментируя, как Ширан остаётся в своём релизе настоящим певцом и автором-исполнителем, и что он несёт слушателям «эмоциональную правдивость и личное откровение». Джим Фарбер из New York Daily News оценил альбом на три звезды из пяти, отметив, что «Ширан может написать напевную запоминающуюся мелодию и, очевидно, есть то, что определённая часть молодых девушек любит даже больше, чем внешний вид: сердце в его лирике». Умеренные отзывы были от Rolling Stone (Джон Долан высказался так: «лучше название альбома, возможно, было бы XXX», дав в итоге рейтингу альбома именно три звезды из пяти), а негативные от The Independent (называя альбом как «мутный», «мягкий», «без остроумия или сексуальной привлекательности» и «подлинно скучным»).
Альбом сразу дебютировал на первом месте в Великобритании с тиражом в 180 000 копий в первую неделю релиза (лучший результат 2014 года в Соединённом Королевстве на то время). Диск пробыл на первом месте четыре недели подряд: дольше всех в 2014 году (данные на июль).
В США альбом стал первым в карьере певца, возглавившим американский хит-парад Billboard 200, дебютировав на № 1 с тиражом в 210 000 копий. Более того, это означало самый успешный дебют поп-альбома и четвёртый в целом для любого диска года (на июль 2014).

Эд Ширан, пожалуй, является самым популярным британским исполнителем на текущий момент. Кроме многочисленных премий Грэмми, BRIT Awards и других, в прошлом году музыкант был удостоен ордена Британской империи, а в этом признан «Лучшим артистом» на Billboard Music Awards.
Ширан выпустил всего четыре альбома, однако продал уже более 26 млн пластинок и более 100 млн синглов, а его видео собирают миллиарды просмотров в интернете.

Первое оригинальное европейское делюксовое лимитированное издание на компакт-диске в подарочной упаковке (Jewel Case with Card Slipcase) с 10-ти страничным буклетом и 5-ю дополнительными треками второго выдающегося студийного альбома "Х" 2014 года суперзвезды британской поп-музыки Эда Ширана.
Работа над новым альбомом началась ещё в то время, когда была только что закончена подготовка первого диска +. Причём, первый трек записывался в гостиничном номере вместе с Джонни Макдэйдом во время концертного тура его группы Snow Patrol. В дальнейшем записи проходили 3 года в разных студиях и местах мира с различными известными продюсерами, такими как Рик Рубин (работавшим с Эминемом, Jay-Z, Red Hot Chilli Peppers и другими звёздами), Фаррелл (Daft Punk, Робин Тик, N.E.R.D), Бенни Бланко (Рианна, Уиз Халифа) и Джефф Баскер (Алиша Киз, Jay-Z), которые добавили красок к работе ключевых соавторов Джонни Макдэйда (Snow Patrol) и Джейка Гослинга (который продюсировал дебютный диск «+»).
«One» стала первой песней, написанной для нового альбома. Написанная в гитарном стиле во время концертного тура в гостиничном номере в австралийском Перте в 2011 году, она стала последним треком, посвящённым бывшей подруге Alice, которая была объектом всех любовных песен его предыдущего альбома.
«I’m a Mess» стала последней песней, написанной во время сессионных записей вместе с Рубиным и одной из двух о новой подруге Ширана. Сам он характеризовал её как довольно простую песню, «сочинённую в душе». Второй песней о новой подруге стала «Don’t», причём сам Ширан сказал, что она «на 100 процентов не Тейлор Свифт», хотя он спел для неё этот трек. «Don’t» планировалась в качестве первого сингла с альбома, но он решил, что хор (особенно в линии «Don’t f- with my love») не подходит для дебютного сингла. Сначала песня была записана с Бенни Бланко, затем снова с Риком Рубином, и оба продюсера уже вместе скомпоновали итоговую версию.
«Nina» была написана вместе с Джонни Макдэйдом, и она стал первым совместным для этой пары треком для нового альбома. По словам самого Макдэйда, это «самоуничижительная» песня о любви, «где герой в основном призывает кого-то и советует ей не быть с ним».
«Photograph» также написана вместе с Макдэйдом во время поездки с его группой Snow Patrol в мае 2012 года, «вневременная баллада». Старт песни был дан фортепианными наигрышами на лаптопе Макдэйда, потом Ширан стал подпевать. Ширан утверждал, что эта песня даёт новый путь в карьере, и эта песня вытянет диск, даже если весь альбом будет провальным. Описанная как Ширановский вариант песни Angels Робби Уильямса, этот трек назвали «балладой с большими барабанами, расположенными в Нью-Йорке».
В целях продвижения нового альбома Эд Ширан выступил на нескольких телешоу. 12 апреля 2014 года он впервые представил песни «Sing» и «Don’t» в живом исполнении впервые на субботнем шоу Saturday Night Live. 16 апреля было эксклюзивное акустическое исполнение «Take It Back» на канале SB.TV. 27 апреля Ширан исполнил песню «Sing» на церемонии Logie Awards, ежегодном вручении премий в Мельбурне (Австралия).
Альбом получил как положительные, так и умеренные отзывы музыкальной критики и интернет-изданий. Англоязычный сайт-агрегатор Metacritic, собирающий отзывы и обзоры музыкальных альбомов, дал суммарную оценку в 70 % (на основании анализа 18 избранных рецензий), говоря о «в целом благоприятных отзывах». Например, похвалу он заслужил от таких изданий, как Q Magazine, Time, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, USA Today. Обозреватель Нил МакКормик из газеты The Daily Telegraph дал наивысший рейтинг диску, пять из пяти звёзд, комментируя, как Ширан остаётся в своём релизе настоящим певцом и автором-исполнителем, и что он несёт слушателям «эмоциональную правдивость и личное откровение». Джим Фарбер из New York Daily News оценил альбом на три звезды из пяти, отметив, что «Ширан может написать напевную запоминающуюся мелодию и, очевидно, есть то, что определённая часть молодых девушек любит даже больше, чем внешний вид: сердце в его лирике». Умеренные отзывы были от Rolling Stone (Джон Долан высказался так: «лучше название альбома, возможно, было бы XXX», дав в итоге рейтингу альбома именно три звезды из пяти), а негативные от The Independent (называя альбом как «мутный», «мягкий», «без остроумия или сексуальной привлекательности» и «подлинно скучным»).
Альбом сразу дебютировал на первом месте в Великобритании с тиражом в 180 000 копий в первую неделю релиза (лучший результат 2014 года в Соединённом Королевстве на то время). Диск пробыл на первом месте четыре недели подряд: дольше всех в 2014 году (данные на июль).
В США альбом стал первым в карьере певца, возглавившим американский хит-парад Billboard 200, дебютировав на № 1 с тиражом в 210 000 копий. Более того, это означало самый успешный дебют поп-альбома и четвёртый в целом для любого диска года (на июль 2014).
