Ed Sheeran and J Balvin announce new singles "Sigue" and "Forever My Love"

Last week Sheeran revealed to The Project NZ that he has a "curveball" project coming out soon, and today (21 March) he's revealed that not just one, but two collaborative singles with J Balvin, are on the way.

The tracks are titled "Sigue" and "Forever My Love", and came from a day in the studio around Christmas that "led to so so much more, which you’ll find out about soon."

Sheeran wrote, "So I want to share something with you that I’ve been working on. I met J Balvin in a gym in New York last year. It was just me and him very early in the morning. I recognised his voice when he was on the phone so I just went up and said hi. We chatted so long we ended up having lunch and then afternoon tea. Then just went to being mates who chatted non stop."

"I was in New York at Christmas for shows so we decided to have one day in the studio that led to so so much more, which you’ll find out about soon," Sheeran added. "But the first two songs we wrote are "Sigue" and "Forever My Love", they are out soon, and I absolutely love them. He wanted to bring me into his world, and I wanted to bring him into mine. Was a proper challenge learning Spanish for this and I had so much fun doing it. Hope you guys love it as much as I do, and look out for more to come. Love xx"
