The 34-year-old hinted he might be ready to share it, smiling as he left the Devonshire pub after playing it for record label executives.

As per Dailymail, sources shared that there “were more than a few bangers,” adding that it would “shoot up the share price” of the star's record company, Warner.

They added, “It was all a secret and Ed proudly shared his new music with a select group of big names in the music industry.”

“He was so happy, and there are some absolute bangers on the album. It went down a storm, the talk was that it would be as big, if not bigger, than his others,” a tipster shared.

This update came after Ed Sheera became the first-ever international artist to perform in a Buddhist kingdom at the 23,000-cap Changlimithang Stadium in the country's capital, Thimphu, on January 24.
