Ed Sheeran Starts His Day with Arijit Singh’s Voice—and His Daughters

What Happened:  

Ed Sheeran recently shared that he listens to a special version of his song Sapphire every morning with his daughters. The twist? It’s a remix featuring Arijit Singh, who sings in Hindi and Punjabi. Sheeran says he’s hooked on Arijit’s voice, calling it rich in tone, rhythm, and flow.

The Backstory:  

- Sheeran and Arijit recorded the remix during a trip to Goa  

- Before that, Sheeran flew to Jiaganj Azimganj in West Bengal with his father to meet Arijit  

- The visit included boat rides, coffee chats, and a late-night scooty ride through town  

- In the studio, Arijit taught Sheeran how to sing in Punjabi and introduced him to the sitar  

Why It Matters:  

This isn’t just a one-off collaboration. Sheeran described the experience as one of the most meaningful in his career. The remix blends Indian and Western styles, with both artists singing in multiple languages. It’s part of Sheeran’s upcoming album Play, set to release on September 12.

The Takeaway:  

Sheeran’s admiration for Arijit goes beyond music. It’s personal. He listens to their track daily with his kids, and he’s clearly moved by the connection they built. For fans of either artist, this collaboration is more than just a song—it’s a moment.
