The "Thinking out loud" hitmaker is already hard at work on his next album following the success of his second full-length "X" last year, even though he doesn't want to release the collection until the end of 2016 at the earliest, reports femalefirst.co.uk.


"I've done 40 -- maybe more like 50 songs already, and I'm not planning to release it for another year and a half, so I want to do a few more," he said.

The 24-year-old singer-songwriter confessed he is feeling "pressure" to live up to people's high expectations because he doesn't want to be a disappointment.

"…There's even more pressure now for this album. When you have a whole company depending on one thing, if I don't release the goods, it's going to be awkward," he added.

However, Sheeran -- who is rumoured to be dating Irish model Louise Johnston -- insisted he will take a well-earned break before finalising his next album.

"I haven't taken a break in between the first and second albums. We've been touring for five years without a break. I actually want to go and live in the house that I bought because I haven't lived in it yet,” he was quoted as saying by the Daily Star newspaper.
