Last year J Balvin and Ed Sheeran released two singles “Sigue” and “Forever My Love” and teased more new music and album on the way!
J told Nylon magazine: “It came about in an organic, natural way. We met; we had coffee, we’d run into each other at the same gym, at the hotel.
“[The record]’s going to be another album that will offer a lot to talk about because it’s like merging two worlds.”
Ed tweeted in March 2022: “I met J Balvin in a gym in New York last year. 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.”
In other Ed Sheeran news when he was a teenager in England, his dream was to one day open for John Mayer. On Tuesday night, the two collaborated.
Mayer played a one-off solo show at LA’s Wiltern Theater to benefit his Heart and Armor Foundation and on Tuesday morning, Mayer’s name was joined by Sheeran’s on the Wiltern marquee as a special guest. It was Sheeran’s opportunity to repay the favor after Mayer filled in for opening act Khalid when the R&B singer got in a car accident ahead of a July stop at Gillette Stadium outside Boston.
Sheeran kicked off the night with a seven-song set. Later in the night, Sheeran came out and performed a version of Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’” with Mayer.
