Ed Sheeran Draws Inspiration From Drake's Music
Article By: Ashia Skye
According to Entertainment Weekly, Ed Sheeran is dying to work with a variety of people. One of those people happens to be the biggest hip-hop artist out, Drake. When ET asked Sheeran about who he’d like to collaborate with, the “In My Feelings” singer was the first to come to mind.
“I feel like at some point, me and Drake need to do something, I feel like that has to happen at some point.” said Sheeran, in response to the question about collaboration. When asked why the team up wasn’t already in the works, he blamed his busy tour schedule.” I mean, I’ve been on tour for god knows how long and he’s been on tour for god knows how long and he’s constantly releasing stuff. I just think at some point those two worlds have to meet, and I don’t know how or what it sounds like, but I feel like it’s inevitable… I’ve only met him a couple of times. I don’t even know if it’s in the cards. I’d like to think he has the same mindset as me. “
Ed Sheeran also described how he was inspired by Drake’s music after discussing wanting to work with the hip-hop great.“I kind of learned from looking at how Drake does it,” he says. “Drake puts out these albums that are huge but then in between he sticks out projects and however big the project is, it doesn’t really matter because it’s not the album, if that makes sense. It just clears the air for the next album.”
Hopefully both Sheeran and Drake can clear their schedules and make it happen one day. “Thinking Out Loud” meets “In My Feelings” would surely be an interesting listen.
