“I very happy to announce I have written and recorded the end credits song for the new Hobbit movie The Desolation of Smaug,” Ed tweeted. “It goes live on iTunes later tonight, stand by for the links later on. 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.”

He added, “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.”
