Ed Sheeran releases videos for ‘Shape of You’ and ‘Castle on the Hill’
January 31, 2017
This week, Ed Sheeran’s long awaited music videos were released to the world for his latest singles, Castle on the Hill and Shape of You.
Shape of You starts out pretty normal, with our favorite red-head meeting a mystery girl at the gym. The video has a Rocky Balboa feel and ends with Sheeran fighting a sumo wrestler. The video also shows off the newest tattoos that Sheeran has added.
One day after the release, the video earned 14 million views on YouTube.
Castle on the Hill shows what almost all of us experienced growing up: riding around town on our bikes and raising all kinds of heck. The end shows what it’s like to return home and see the people who you grew up with and who shaped you as a person.
This video was actually filmed in Sheeran’s hometown in Suffolk, England and starred kids from his high school. The video was directed by George Belfield.
Sheeran’s European tour for the album “Divide” will begin March 17th in Turin, Italy and will end May 2nd in London, U.K. The dates for a U.S. tour have not been released.
