ED SHEERAN SAYS THE SONGS ON HIS NEW ALBUM ARE 'A BIT TOO BRUTALLY HONEST' 

This is what it would be like if 5SOS had...

Here\'s what went down on the first week of X...

If you thought Ed Sheeran\'s last album was properly real and raw, what with the whole \'Don\'t\' debacle and all that, you might wanna think again. He reckons his next record\'s gonna be

honest than Multiply. \'Brutally\' honest, actually.

Now obviously we know we\'re not gonna have any new music from Edward down our lugholes for a while yet (wah), but he\'s been teasing album three already and reckons loads of the songs are \'a bit too brutally honest\' to the point where he\'ll probably regret letting us hear \'em.

Speaking to Billboard about his next batch of tunes, Ed said: "There\'s a lot more heart in it. It\'s a lot more honest than the last record.

"The last record was honest. There was a couple of songs like \'The Man\', which I kind of wish I didn\'t put on. But there\'s probably seven songs on this new record that I wish I didn\'t put on when I release it. They\'re all a bit too brutally honest."

Well we bloody love \'The Man\' so this probably bodes well.

Edward added: "I know this third record\'s going to be better than anything I\'ve done. I\'m positive that this is going to be the really big one." Gonna be a \'really big one,\' eh? OI OI (we\'re being ridiculous, apologies.)

What d\'ya make of that, then? Desperate to hear what Ed\'s been workin\' on? Give us a tweet over @sugarscape or drop a comment in the box thingy below, please and a-thank you.
