Los Angeles, California – Ed Sheeran's fourth studio album, =, has arrived, and it's quite the impressive feat.

It's been over four years since Sheeran dropped an album, but that all changed today with the release of =, or 'equals'.

Serving as the Bad Habits singer's fourth studio album in his decade-long career, = as a whole shows off Sheeran's all-encompassing taste in music.

With Spanish guitars, retro synthesizer beats straight out of the '80s, and piano ballads, the 30-year-old seems to have mastered what few can – mixing genres within one singular album.

The record's opening single, Tide, is a different yet familiar sound for Sheeran, but with a Mumford and Sons-like folk twist. Not many albums that have come out this year start off which such a bang, but the UK-born artist hit the nail on the head.

The song itself takes listeners on an upbeat and introspective lyrical journey through the different seasons of life and fame, as Sheeran sings, "I lost the confidence in who I was – too busy trying to chase the high and get the numbers up."

Longtime fans of Sheeran will likely gravitate towards the single First Times, a ballad composed of acoustic guitars and string instruments and lovey-dovey lyrics, similar to the feeling of his 2011 breakthrough hit, The A-Team.

The song itself seems to reference his relationship with his wife, Cherry Seaborn, and his sheer joy at being her betrothed, singing, "The greatest thing that I have achieved was four little words, down on one knee. You said, 'Darling, are you joking?', and I just said, 'Please'."

Overpass Graffiti brings '80s synth-pop vibes to =, along with beautifully orchestrated harmonies that could make a grown man cry.

The song's message might have an emotional effect on people, referencing times the artist has fallen short in his personal life while acknowledging that the love and memories he shares with the song's subject will, "never be lost on me."

There are some interesting, breath-like sound effects on the heartfelt track, Leave Your Life. The single serves as a reminder that even when he's away on tour or traveling the world for work, the ones he loves, such as his wife and his child, are always on his mind.

"I know we can change from day to day, but this love will keep alive, I'm never gonna leave your life," Sheeran croons.

Given that Sheeran is relatively new to fatherhood, it makes sense that he'd have a track that sounds like a nursery song with a twist, and that's exactly what Sandman delivers.

Both simple and sweet, Sheeran talks about the love he and his wife have for their little one, singing, "You were loved before you had arrived, and every day that love just multiplies. Daddy made your bed and your lullaby, and Momma made the mobile in the sky."

The album gets wrapped up nicely with the track Be Right Now, which feels like a theme song for an '80s romantic comedy, like the movie, Say Anything, but with a techno twist.

Ultimately, fans of Sheeran are sure to love every second of this album, while giving those who might've been on the fence previously more of a reason to fall into the land of utter fandom.
