Ed Sheeran is an English singer-songwriter who began writing songs around the age of eleven. He independently released an extended play in early 2011 and signed with Asylum Records that same year. "Autumn Leaves" appears on his debut album, "+" (2011). It plays like a contemplative piece, perhaps evoking the quiet beauty and inevitable change of the season.
