Olly Murs reckons his next album will be "sexier" than his previous efforts.

The singer split from girlfriend of three years Francesca Thomas in 2015.

Speaking to the Metro, the Brit says his relationship status has added extra heat to his new material's sound.

Murs said: "It definitely feels a lot sexier than normal.

"I think because it's being single I am in a different place than I was with the last album."

The singer added that he has been working with MNEK on some tunes.

He said: "I like to test myself and do different sessions with different people. Uzo's a really good talent."

Murs' last album 'Never Been Better' was released in 2014.
