British singing sensation Ed Sheeran who had released a reworked version of his album track 2Step with Lil Baby last week, will now be collaborating with the Ukrainian band, Antytila.

Ukrainian band Antytila teams up with Ed Sheeran

In the month of March, Antytila sent a video message to Ed Sheeran asking if they could appear remotely in the Concert for Ukraine. At that time, the band was not given a slot to take part, but now it seems like they have been asked to remix Ed's latest song 2 Step. The music video of 2 Step was recorded in Kyiv ahead of the war with Sheeran sharing a short clip on his Instagram handle. 

Taking to its Instagram handle, Antytila shared a short glimpse of the upcoming collab as it wrote in the caption, "Ed Sheeran feat Antytila - 2Step. May 2nd. Stay tuned!" As per the caption, the music video will be released on May 2, 2022.

In one of its posts, Antytila shared a conversation with Ed and captioned it, "Excited about feature collab @teddysphotos ft @antytila_official." Another post with a short glimpse of 2 Step new remix read, The sirens interrupted our sleep, Grabbed in two suitcases everything that is the past, then go! Go! 2nd of May. Premier. Stay tuned! @teddysphotos." Have a look:

Russia-Ukraine War:

The Russia-Ukraine war has now entered Day 66 with heavy shelling by invading troops along "the entire line of contract" in the Dobass region, east Ukraine. Meanwhile, dozens of people were injured in the blast that took off during UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' visit to Kyiv. Ukraine has accused Russia of "robbing" the occupied cities, leading to massive food insecurity.
