Teddy co-wrote and performs on “Shine A Light,” Adams’ latest single that is the title track from his 14th studio album that is set for release by Polydor (UMC) on March 1.


 “I met Ed in Dublin this year at one of his shows and we kept in touch,” Adams explains. “One day I sent him a chorus I had for a song idea I had called ‘Shine A Light’ and asked him if he was interested in collaborating on it. I got a couple of verses back a few days later, and man you should hear him sing it!”

Shine a Light's 12 tracks include a duet with Jennifer Lopez called "That's How Strong Our Love Is."
