Ed Sheeran is on the road to promote his new music and album, which will be released on March 3.
The British crooner sang an acoustic version of his newest single, \u201cShape of You,\u201d during his Thursday appearance on radio station Capital FM .
Despite his sheer brilliance, Sheeran\u2019s melodic voice was put to a test when a fan requested an oddly peculiar track\u2014the theme song of the \u201990s sitcom \u201cThe Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,\u201d which was rapped by Will Smith. Without second thoughts, Sheeran picked up his guitar and strummed a soft version of the song, to the surprise of the DJ.
He also revealed that he would guest in James Corden\u2019s sought-after segment \u201cCarpool Karaoke.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve been in touch with James Corden about this for three years because he wanted me to do the first one, and I just wasn\u2019t around. I can confirm that at some point this year I will be doing Carpool Karaoke,\u201d he said.
Sheeran teased, \u201cI wanna put on something really awkward and dirty, like Biggie\u2019s song \u2018Big Booty Hoes.’\u201d
After a yearlong hiatus from social media, Sheeran, 25, recently dropped two new singles from his upcoming third album \u201c\u00f7 \u201d (Divide)\u2014\u201dCastle on the Hill\u201d and \u201cShape of You.\u201d Both songs effortlessly surpassed music-streaming app Spotify\u2019s record for the most-streamed hits in 24 hours, with 6.2 million and 6.8 million views respectively, Billboard reported.
\u201cTruly overwhelmed with the reaction to these new songs,\u201d Sheeran posted on Instagram. \u201cI\u2019ve never had anything like this, thank you for your wonderful messages. Now, please blast them out as loud as you can from every speaker you can find, as many times as you can!\u201d
