Ed Sheeran praises Arijit Singh's Tum Hi Ho in heartfelt post: I was spellbound

Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, who was recently in India and shot for a music video titled 'Sapphire' with Arjit Singh, dedicated a heartfelt note to him. Ed stated that he was impressed by the singer's talent. The English singer also cherished his memories of going on a scooter ride with Arijit.

Ed shared a clip from 'Sapphire' on his Instagram handle. He admitted to being spellbound after listening to 'Tum Hi Ho' while watching 'Aashiqui 2'. The singer-songwriter wrote, "I first became aware of Arijit Singh's music when I watched 'Aashiqui 2' and heard 'Tum Hi Ho'. I was proper spellbound by his voice, the song, the scene in the movie."

Ed said that he later reached out



to Arijit and even played an early version of 'Sapphire' for him. He further wrote, "I checked him out, and got in touch, and said whenever you want to sing together I’m down. He was playing london, so i went to guest with him and sing Perfect there, it was an incredible show. I played him an early version of Sapphire in the dressing room, and he instantly had ideas for instruments and melodies."

"We then were pen pals over email for a bit, until I was in India for tour. I said to him, we should finish this in person, and he said, please come to my hometown so I can show you my home and culture. I was with my dad on tour, which is a rarity to get so much one-on-one time with him (sic)," Ed went on.
