Ed Sheeran has announced he will be releasing a new collaborative album in July.

Following his new single I Don't Care with Justin Bieber, the UK singer-songwriter will release No. 6 Collaborations Project on July 12, his fourth studio album after 2017's ÷.

The album also features Cross Me, a new single with Chance the Rapper and PnB Rock releasing tonight.

Of the new record, Sheeran 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."

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. No.6 Collaborations Project will be out everywhere on 12 July. It’s available to pre-order from midnight tonight local time and my song with @chancetherapper and @pnbrock will be out everywhere at the same time x
