Example has discussed his recent rise to the top of the billing at a number of festivals, claiming that his live act is “unbeatable”. The British rapper, who is set to release his third studio LP ‘Playing In The Shadows’ later this summer, also described his experiences supporting Faithless on tour, claiming that he would love to emulate the dance icons.
Speaking to The Daily Star, the ‘Kickstarts’ singer stated that he likes the comparisons he receives to dance veterans Faithless, saying that he would love to reach their levels of success.
He said: "I like that people are saying 'Changed The Way You Kiss Me' has a Faithless vibe 'cause I went on tour with them and learned more supporting them than I've ever done. They were always the act at festivals that no-one ever wanted to play after, even if you were Oasis or Kings of Leon.
He continued: "And now people don't want to play after me. We've moved up so many bills this year 'cause of that. Well, my act is unbeatable. I've got the best beats, the best band, the lights, the energy, the anthems."
However, Example went on to state that he doesn’t just want to tread the roads already walked by the dance duo, who worked on the title track on his new album. He said: "Faithless put on the best live show I've ever seen. Maxi Jazz is a huge inspiration but I don't mean I want to be them because I'm a frontman and they're a dance act; the main thing is I rap and sing."
