Monday, 04 July 2011
Written by Jon Stickler
Following the success of his monster Number One hit ‘Changed The Way You Kiss Me’, Example has announced 'Stay Awake' as the second single from his much anticipated new album ‘Playing In The Shadows'.
The new album is set for release in September following what is turning out to be a killer year for Example. ‘Changed The Way You Kiss Me’ held the No.1 position in the UK charts for 2 weeks beating rock giants Coldplay to the top and selling in excess of 200K copies, now certified silver and ranked as one of the biggest selling singles of the year.
His new single ‘Stay Awake’ is produced by dubstep lords Nero and is yet another huge dance anthem from Example who kills it with his trademark combination of thought provoking lyrics and massive choruses.‘Stay Awake’ was penned after waking up at Ibiza Rocks and seeing hundreds of kids still going from the night before. Example says ‘it’s about a messed-up generation who spend all their money on partying and questioning whether or not it's right.
The aftermath of all this will culminate in the release of Example’s third studio album ‘Playing In The Shadows’ which features production from the biggest and most credible names in dance music today – Chase & Status, Nero, Michael Woods, Skream and Faithless – out in September!
