There's something about Ed Sheeran [1]'s honest lyrics that unleash a myriad of emotions whenever we hear them. On Tuesday, fans eagerly tuned in as Sheeran appeared on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series [2] for the first time. Rocking a hoodie displaying the "=" symbol, black joggers, and trainers, the 30-year-old artist performed several tracks off his upcoming fourth studio album, Equals [3], which is set for an Oct. 29 release and available for preorder now [4]. In addition to performing new releases like "Shivers", "Visiting Hours", and "Bad Habits", as well as previewing an unreleased song called "Overpass Graffiti", the four-time Grammy winner [5] made sure to include throwback song "Make It Rain" from 2014's X album. Ahead of Equals, Sheeran has already performed a handful of new songs live recently, but the simplicity and intimacy of a Tiny Desk Concert really drives home his lyrical genius, don't you think? Watch the full performance in the video above.
