Ed Sheeran has unveiled a brand new track, I See Fire, which is lifted from the soundtrack to ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’.
Sheeran announced the track last night, having taken time out from recording his second album to put it together. You can check it out below.
Speaking about the track via Twitter, Sheeran said:
“I [am] very happy to announce I have written and recorded the end credits song for the new Hobbit movie 'The Desolation of Smaug'. I got the chance to produce and play all the instruments on it apart from the cello. Managed to learn violin for a day, hope you all dig it.
“Big up Peter Jackson and his team for giving me the opportunity. It's also the first solo song I've released in over 2 years, it's not on the new album though, that fun starts next year.”
The new film - the second in the Hobbit trilogy - is set to hit cinema screens on December 11, but you can grab Sheeran’s musical contribution from iTunes here!
