Following a copyright lawsuit filed against him by the heirs of Ed Townsend’s estate, British singer Ed Sheeran has emerged victorious and wasted no time in releasing a new album titled ‘Subtract’.
The lawsuit claimed that Sheeran’s 2014 hit single ‘Thinking Out Loud’ bore similarities to Marvin Gaye’s renowned track ‘Let’s Get It On‘.
The legal battle had significant implications for Sheeran, who openly expressed his willingness to quit music if he were to lose the lawsuit. However, the verdict favored the British singer, granting him the copyright protection for ‘Thinking Out Loud’ in the United States.
In a swift response to his legal triumph, Sheeran released his highly anticipated album ‘Subtract‘. The timing of the album’s release immediately after the lawsuit victory added to the intrigue and excitement among his fans and the music industry as a whole.
