Songs I Wrote With Amy
''Songs I Wrote with Amy'' is an extended play, independently released by Ed Sheeran on 18 April 2010. All of the songs were written collaboratively by Ed Sheeran and Amy Wadge. The EP is a folk album of what journalist David Nolan described as "polite, discreet adult offerings aimed at a grown-up audience," with "world-weary songs of mornings after, indecision and regret." Background and release ''Songs I Wrote with Amy'' is the third of a series of five EPs in different genres that Ed Sheeran released independently in quick succession from 2009 to 2010. The previous EP, 2010's ''Loose Change'', sold enough copies for Sheeran to afford to record a follow-up two months later. A few years prior, Sheeran's management company had introduced Sheeran to English singer-songwriter Amy Wadge. He traveled to Wales, where she lived, and the two wrote seven songs in two days in Wadge's shed.
