Lets face it, this guy knows what he’s doing.

“Royals,” Lorde

Not only does Ed turns Lorde’s hit into a more soulful version, but he causally learned it during the commercial break during this radio interview.

This hip/hop and R&B song sounds even better with just an acoustic guitar. We found love in you Ed ❤

“Stay With Me,” Sam Smith

Can we just get Sam Smith in there for the PERFECT duet????

“Hit Me Baby One More Time,” Britney Spears

Pop song turned soulful, may be even better than the original.

Are they looking for a fifth member???

“Make You Feel My Love,” Adele

Adele might want to watch out, Ed slays the ballad just him and his guitar.

Now this is the real Ed, real raw quality of his voice.

“In My Life,” The Beatles

In a tribute to the Beatles, Ed covers this classic song giving it a contemporary feel that is sure not to let you down.

“Little Things,” One Direction

Little known fact is that Ed actually wrote this song for One Direction. Honestly, he should have kept it for himself…
