The opportunities for cultural appropriation and vulturing are endless. And yet, I was pleasantly surprised with the results.
Last night, Ed Sheeran dropped his full No. 6 Collaborations Project, the one that houses"I Don't Care" with Justin Bieber;"Cross Me" with Chance the Rapper and PnB Rock; and"Beautiful People" featuring Khalid. If you haven't caught on by now, this album is a collaborations project that sees Sheeran crossing borders and genres with each track.
Sheeran avoided common, problematic traps by staying true to his own voice and craft throughout most of the album, and by allowing his collaborators to do the same. It became clear about halfway through that the British singer was interested in partnering sounds and vibes, not borrowing them. For example"South of the Border," with Cardi and Camila Cabello, is a club-ready bop that offers up a dash of Latin flavor, and could just as easily appear on one of Cabello's projects.
