Background and release

[edit]

Sheeran announced the album on 23 May 2019.[5][6][7] In a post on Instagram, he said: "Before I was signed in 2011, I made an EP called No.5 Collaborations Project. Since then, I've always wanted to do another, so I started No.6 on my laptop when I was on tour last year. I'm a huge fan of all the artists I've collaborated with and it's been a lot of fun to make."[8]

Sheeran released the album's track list on 23 May 2019, but the names of all the featured artists on the unreleased tracks were redacted.[9][10] The track list includes 15 tracks, a departure from his previous three studio albums, which each consisted of 12 tracks.[2][11] The track list including all guest appearances was revealed on 18 June 2019.[12]

No. 6 Collaborations Project received mixed reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews and ratings from selected mainstream critics, the album received an average of 57, based on 14 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[19]

In a positive review, Alexis Petridis of The Guardian wrote that "unsurprisingly, the end result sounds not unlike a Top 20 rundown or Spotify's Hot Hits UK playlist" and that "Sheeran succeeds in pulling off his patent trick of simultaneously stunning you with the pitiless commercial efficiency of his writing while retaining a certain ordinary-bloke humanity," naming the album "smarm, charm and a watertight winning formula."[20] Similarly, Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph says, "Sheeran has delivered a solid commercial showcase of the power of contemporary pop music brands. It is a case of Superstars Assemble. A fan base shared is a fan base multiplied."[25] Nick Levine of NME concluded that "it's less an album, more a collection of savvy and generally savvy collaborations which blurs traditional genre boundaries unselfconsciously and acknowledges that Latin-pop is the sound of the near-future. Most of the time, it's a credit to Sheeran's songwriting skills and well-honed persona."[22]

In a more mixed review, Helen Brown, writing for The Independent concluded that "though his fare is bland, it is sincere and hygienically prepared."[21] Writing for Pitchfork, Rawiya Kameir opined that "few releases have been as baldly transparent and destined for ubiquity as No. 6, which has all the conspicuous mining of a Drake album, but very little of the finesse or cultural fluency" while criticizing Sheeran's rapping ability.[23] Stephen Thomas Erlewin of AllMusic called pointed out Sheeran's "blandiness" but complimented him for knowing "that this is the sound that defines global pop in 2019" and the fact that the album was full of multiple genres.[1] Seth Wilson of Slant Magazine felt that Sheeran spends "the entirety of the album strenuously avoiding his strengths" and that "when Sheeran trots out his bad-boy routine, his music feels ersatz."[24] Writing for Rolling Stone, Danny Schwartz opined that "Sheeran's unobtrusively sweet voice easily slips between genres, but he struggles to connect with many of his A-list guest artists, deepening the album’s isolated mood."[27] Malvika Padin of Clash called the record "worth a listen to catch those glimpses of experimentation" but felt that some songs "feel out of place and fail to impress despite the involvement of such acclaimed artists."[28]

Lucy Shanker of Consequence of Sound wrote that "Sheeran has got the pop-song formula down pat" and that "he’s versatile, or at least trying to be" but that "it doesn't pay off, though, because this effort results in a sense of emptiness, an abyss of authenticity or real feeling."[29] Writing for The New York Times, Jon Caramanica opined that "even though this record presents countless opportunities for Sheeran to fumble, there is something to be said for his choice to release it at all" but that at times "he stretches too thin."[30] Michael Cragg of The Observer called the record "a hotchpotch of genres and guests a laser-guided exercise in streaming monopoly, a credibility-by-osmosis playlist primed for summer dominance."[31] Writing for Variety, Chris Willman wrote that "with such an impressive friends list, you hope for at least the illusion of chemistry somewhere along the way, but it’s the ultimate Dropbox duets album" and that fans "need another set of songs as good and deeply felt as the ones that preceded this" although he did acknowledge that the album does have "less bogged down moments."[32] In a negative review, Bernadette Giacomazzo of HipHopDX scored the album 2.5 of out five, opining that it "leaves a horrible taste in one’s mouth" and that it "would go over better if Sheeran positioned this as a "pop" album rather than as a wannabe Hip Hop album," ending his review by writing "this is an experiment that could have worked — but, ultimately, didn’t."[33]
