Want Some?

Released in 2007, 'Want Some?' is one of Ed Sheeran's earliest independent EPs, predating his mainstream breakthrough by several years. Unlike the loop-pedal driven pop-R&B of his later career, this collection is firmly rooted in the British folk tradition and the 'indie-folk' boom of the mid-2000s. The recording is characterized by its bedroom-production quality, featuring very dry vocal mixes and a lack of heavy processing. Notable for its inclusion of 'The West Coast of Clare' (a Planxty cover), the album showcases Sheeran's early interest in traditional Irish music. The track 'Two Blokes and a Double Bass' offers a rare glimpse into his collaborative experiments during his formative London years. Critically, it serves as a primary document of his 'orange room' era, highlighting a more vulnerable, less rhythmic vocal delivery than his later global hits. It remains a sought-after rarity for fans seeking the artist's pure acoustic origins.
