Amy Shark has just dropped her new single “Love Songs Ain’t For Us,” featuring vocals from Keith Urban and cowritten by Ed Sheeran. With so much star power, it should come as no surprise that it’s pretty brilliant. Prepare to hear this one all over radio in the coming weeks.
This is a real change of pace for Amy, a tender song without the angst we usually hear. It seems we can credit Ed for that change in direction.
“Ed asked me if I wrote songs about my man. I told him I do, but love songs aren’t really for us. He then smiled and said, “OK that’s what we’ll do then.” This song is as loved up as you’ll get from me and I love it,” she explained.
“The song is so classy and timeless I needed to find a class act to join me,” she added. “Keith is so professional and well respected around the world, so it was a no-brainer.”
“Love Songs Ain’t For Us” gives us our first taste of Amy’s upcoming album Cry Forever, which hits stores on April 30. She’ll celebrate its release with one of the biggest tours we’ve seen in this country for a while. Tickets are on sale now for the following shows.
