Example "Won't Go Quietly"

Example has discussed evolving into a new genre in his blogs, describing his new work as "Dysfunctional Electro-Pop". UK producers Chase & Status, Calvin Harris and MJ Cole contribute also to the project.

Example recently released the first single from the second album, called "Watch The Sun Come Up" through Data Records, which has proved to be moderately successful in the UK Singles Chart, entering at #20 and in its second week of release rose to #19. The single spent a total of 4 weeks in the Top 40, proving to be one of Example's most successful singles to date..

The second single from the album: Won't Go Quietly was released on 18 January 2010. The chorus is sung by Sam James and Pearse MacIntyre of the band Rogues. "Won't Go Quietly" beat previous single: "Watch The Sun Come Up"'s peak of #19 by entering the UK Singles Chart at #6, of which it spent 2 weeks within the Top 10, marking Example's most successful single thus far.

Rumours began to emerge in March 2010 that Example would be releasing the third single at some point during Summer 2010. It was confirmed in April 2010 that "Kickstarts" would be the third single from the album, and that Fenech Soler were doing one of various remixes for the single release. The song, produced by Sub Focus, received its first airplay on Zane Lowes Radio 1 show on the 13th of April 2010.

Described by Example as a mix of Snow Patrol, MGMT and Dizzee Rascal. On the same show Example announced that the single would receive a June release with the album following ten days later. He also announced that there would be two more singles to follow. Kickstarts first charted on 20 June 2010 at #3.

Example Career

After moving back to London, Example decided to pursue a career in music. After releasing three singles through his own label "All The Chats", including the original 7" version of "I Dont Want To" in January 2006, Example received attention from Pete Tong, Zane Lowe and others at Radio 1. Example also caught the attention of people at four major record labels – perhaps most significantly Mike Skinner (of The Streets), owner of The Beats label.

After signing a deal in April 2006 with The Beats, Example put out a response to Lily Allen's No.1 hit "Smile" entitled "Vile" and received Radio 1 airplay from Zane Lowe, Jo Whiley and Chris Moyles. His first 'proper' release on The Beats was "What We Made" in November 2006, the video for which was filmed in Chernobyl, Ukraine .

Example's second official Beats single entitled "You Can't Rap" was released in March 2007, followed by a re-release of "I Don't Want To" on 11 June 2007. "I Don't Want To" was followed by the single "So Many Roads" (famously sampling The Carpenters "We've Only Just Begun") which eventually turned out to be the opening track on Example's full-length studio debut. After the demise of The Beats label at the end of 2007 Example self-released his next single "Me + Mandy" on 10 March 2008 through his original imprint All The Chats. The video for "Me + Mandy" was shot over 4 days and nights in London, in over 30 locations with over 40 extras. Impressively all this was done at a cost of just £1000. It was directed by Example's friend Henry Scholfield who also made the promos for "Who Needs Sunshine?", "Vile", "You Can't Rap" and "I Don't Want To" and the video went on to win "Best Low-Budget Video" at the VMA's that year.
