In the world of music, few artists are as universally recognized as Ed Sheeran, celebrated for hits like "Shape of You" that have amassed billions of Spotify streams. Sheeran is now out with his second album of the year, "Autumn Variations," which features 14 heartfelt songs inspired by the people in his life.
The release marks a significant milestone for Sheeran, as he unveils it through his own label, Gingerbread Man Records. Sheeran said he wanted to put out an independent record and move away from the industry's pressure to put out hit after hit.
"You just have to be like, 'I don't care what people think,'" he told "CBS Mornings" co-host Gayle King in an exclusive interview. "'Cause people are gonna see it and they're gonna see it being a lower figure than my other records and be like, 'Oh, he's on the way out.'"
