Filipino Sheerios are up for a treat to be among the first ones to listen to Ed Sheeran’s upcoming fifth studio album, "Subtract."
Warner Music Philippines is holding an exclusive album listening experience at the Mall of Asia (MOA) Eye on May 4, 2023—the day before Ed Sheeran is set to release his latest album across all platforms. Each cabin on the MOA Eye will be converted into a private "Subtract" listening booth, where fans will have the once-in-a-lifetime experience of riding the ferris wheel while enjoying snippets of new music from this upcoming album.
To join, simply register here and visit the MOA Eye during mall hours on the said date with the pre-save the album on any music streaming platform of choice—might be Spotify or Apple Music. As if being the first to hear "Subtract" isn’t exciting enough, those who will be part of this event will also get the opportunity to win official Ed Sheeran merchandise.
About the album
Those who have been following the British singer-songwriter’s journey know that his upcoming album will be the most honest and vulnerable one yet, as it draws from hard-hitting events that Ed has faced in recent years.

He recently released a new single called “Eyes Closed,” which has an upbeat pop feel to it. However, closer inspection of the lyrics reveal that it captures the essence of love and loss, which is also reflected in the official video.
“This song is about losing someone, feeling like every time you go out and you expect to just bump into them, and everything just reminds you of them and the things you did together,” he said. “You sorta have to take yourself out of reality sometimes to numb the pain of loss, but certain things just bring you right back into it.”
If this single gives any indication of what we can expect from "Subtract," it’s clear that Ed’s new album will be one that bares his soul and taps into his most genuine emotions.
