Question: What singer-songwriter recorded the song "Afire Love" which was released on 20 June 2014 from his second studio album "x"?
Context: American singer Kelly Clarkson has recorded material for her seven studio albums.  After signing a contract in 2002 with RCA Records, a division of then-Bertelsmann Music Group (now Sony Music), 20-year-old Clarkson released the double A-side single "Before Your Love" / "A Moment Like This" and began to record tracks for her debut studio album, "Thankful" (2003).  Its lead single, "Miss Independent", received a nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 2004.  "Miss Independent" was followed by "Low" and "The Trouble With Love Is", which was featured as a single from the soundtrack of the film "Love Actually".  In 2004, Clarkson recorded the song "Breakaway", which was released as a single from the of the film "".  The song's commercial success inspired Clarkson to name her second studio album "Breakaway".  The album won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album in 2006, while its second single, "Since U Been Gone", won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.  Subsequent singles, "Behind These Hazel Eyes" (2005), "Because of You" (2005), and "Walk Away" (2006), became successful hits.  Clarkson's third studio album, "My December", was released in 2007.  The album became a subject of a dispute with then RCA Music Group chairman Clive Davis, who criticized the album and suggested that Clarkson reunite with her previous collaborators. " Never Again", the lead single from "My December", became its only hit single.  Succeeding releases from "My December" included "Sober", "One Minute", and "Don't Waste Your Time". "Already Gone" is a song recorded by Australian singer and songwriter Taylor Henderson for his second studio album, "Burnt Letters".  Released as the second single from the album on 20 June 2014, it was written by Henderson, Louis Schoorl and Alex Hope and produced by Schoorl.  The song's development was motivated by the fact that Henderson wanted to write a song about being away from home and missing his loved ones.  Lyrically, "Already Gone" finds Henderson being torn "between living his musical dreams and pining for the simple way things used to be." "Love" is a song recorded by American country music artist Jana Kramer.  It was released in June 2014 as the first single from her second studio album, "Thirty One".  The song was written by Catt Gravitt and Jimmy Robbins. "The Man" is a song by English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran.  It features production from frequent collaborator Jake Gosling.  The song was released as an "instant grat" digital download to the iTunes Store on 19 June 2014, serving as the sixth of seven promotional singles from his second studio album, "x" (2014).  It entered the UK Singles Chart at number 87. Forever by Your Side is the 13th studio album of American popular R&B vocal group the Manhattans, originally released in 1983 by Columbia Records.  The album was recorded at Celestial Sound Studios (New York, NY), Studio Sound Recorders (North Hollywood), Universal Recording Studio (Chicago, III) and produced by George Tobin Productions Inc, Leo Graham Enterprises, Mighty M. Productions Ltd.  This album brought the two singles by The Manhattans of 1983: the song "Crazy" and the title track "Forever by Your Side".  The ballad "Crazy" was the big hit of this album, peaked at #4 on the R&B chart.  The love song "Forever by Your Side" had moderate success in the United States, peaked at #30 on the R&B chart, but has become a great success and a romantic classic in Brazil two years later, when she was part of the soundtrack of a soap opera in the country in 1985.  The success made "Forever by Your Side" gain a Portuguese version the following year, called "Pra Sempre Vou Te Amar", which also was successful in Brazil and was recorded by several Brazilian artists.  Another highlight of this album was the song "Just The Lonely Talking Again", which was later re-recorded by Whitney Houston in 1987, on her second studio album "Whitney".  The original release of ""Forever by Your Side"" from 1983 in Vinyl LP has only eight tracks.  In 2014, the album was remastered on CD with the caption ""Expanded Edition"" and brought five bonus tracks, totaling 13 tracks.  These bonus tracks include the single version of "Crazy", "Just The Lonely Talking Again" and "Love Is Gonna Find You", with shorter durations than the original songs on the album.  There is also the instrumental version of great success "Crazy", without the voices of The Manhattans.  The final track number 13, "Lovin' You Did not Come Easy", was also recorded by The Manhattans, but, curiously, was never released in any album of the group.  The song was released this 2014 remaster as an previously unreleased song, over thirty years after it was recorded. "Human" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Christina Perri for her second studio album, "Head or Heart" (2014).  The song was written by Perri and Martin Johnson, who also produced the song.  It was released on November 18, 2013 as the lead single for the album.  Released to generally positive reviews, "Human" has since become a Top 10 Adult Pop hit in the United States, as well as her third top 40 entry on the Billboard Hot 100.  It was certified Platinum by RIAA in June 2014. "Don't" is a song recorded by English singer-songwriter, Ed Sheeran, for his second studio album, "×" (2014).  Written by Sheeran and Benny Blanco and produced by Blanco and Rick Rubin, the song samples "Don't Mess with My Man" by Lucy Pearl.  It was initially planned as the album's lead single, but was passed over in favour of "Sing".  It was instead released to iTunes on 13 June 2014 as the second "instant grat" promotional single from "×".  "Don't" officially impacted US contemporary hit radio on 15 July 2014 and was released independently on 24 August 2014 as the album's second single. "Afire Love" is a song recorded by English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran for his second studio album, "×" (2014).  The song is about Sheeran's late grandfather who suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
