Ed Sheeran incorporates a wide range of genres in his music, including indie, pop, grime, rap, hip-hop and rock. The song being used for a music video, "Autumn Leaves," has a more alternative indie vibe. Indie music is independently produced music that is not signed to a major record label. It can include many different styles but often has a melodic sound with simple but textured instruments, emotional lyrics, and vocals that are soft and harmonized.

of genres into his music such as Indie, Pop, Grime, Rap, Hip-Hop and Rock. The song

3. INDIE MUSIC
•Independent music (indie) is music produced independently from major commercial record
labels or their subsidiaries, a process that may include a do-it-yourself approach to
recording and publishing. The term indie is sometimes also used to describe a genre (such as
indie rock, indie folk or indie pop); as a genre term, "indie" may include music that is not
independently produced, and most independent music artists do not fall into a single,
defined musical style or genre and usually create music that can be categorized into other
genres.
•Indie music isn’t a definite style of music, but most indie bands are influenced by each other
causing a similar sound. The sound is melodic, the instruments are simple but well textured.
Usually includes a simple but original guitar riff, another guitar riff layered to complement it,
bass doing the same, simple drum beat (but fitting the song well) either a keyboard or violin
or something to bring out the underlying melody, and soft vocals, usually well harmonized.
the lyrics are powerfully emotional and often spark emotion.
