The four-part Disney+ documentary series Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All outfits the pop star with a behind-the-scenes doc. It's predictably bland.
But peek beyond the geyser of melodies and lyrics and you’ll see savvy and careerist inclinations. His upcoming album was conceived as “this, like, perfect acoustic album” and “the perfect singer-songwriter album.” That level of calculation is obviously behind a lot of pop music but is rarely so explicitly telegraphed by its creators. In an interview, he says that his response to a hypothetical person coming up to him and telling him they don’t like his new album is, “I don’t really care.
It is a rare moment of apparent candor when, in one scene, Sheeran reflects on his rise to fame by casting it as both unlikely and inevitable: “I didn’t really expect to get this big. Like, I bump into all the record company people that turned me down. And I can sense it. I can sense it in them. I don’t need to say it, and they don’t need to say it. But there’s just a [nods]. ‘Told you.’” And then after a beat: “You’re gonna put that in and I’m gonna look like a [cock?].” And then he laughs.
The real tension in the doc comes from Sheeran’s no-good February 2022, during which Cherry was diagnosed with cancer, he was slapped with a copyright lawsuit, and his friend and collaborator Jamal Edwards died at 31. Edwards founded and ran the online platform SB.TV, which exposed Sheeran to the masses early on. Despite Cherry’s insistence that her husband never cries, we see Sheeran weeping after a memorial cookout held six months after Edwards’ death, as well as onstage.
