# Ed Sheeran Reveals Title And Release Date For New Album And Streams New Single

*By Altwire Staff · April 7, 2014*

British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has announced the title and release date for his upcoming album via [Twitter](https://twitter.com/edsheeran/status/452140462632353792). Titled *x* (read as "multiply"), the singer's second album is set to be released on June 23th and is the follow-up to his 2011 debut *+*.

Along with the new details about the album, an official audio video was posted on YouTube for the lead single "SING", after it was premiered on BBC Radio 1 by Zane Lowe earlier today.

Ed Sheeran's last single "I See Fire" was released late last year exclusively on the soundtrack for *The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug*.
