Playing In The Shadows is the third album from singer/rapper Example. Following the highly successful 2010 album Won’t Go Quietly, this record sees the Fulham-born artist collaborate with producers such as Laidback Luke, Skream and Faithless. With its sights set firmly on the dancefloor, this effort is bigger and more ambitious than its predecessors, as single “Changed the Way You Kissed Me” ably demonstrates.

Jul 2011

It has been a killer year for Example who has well and truly branded 2011 his own. '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 350K copies, now certified silver and ranked as one of the biggest selling singles of the year.

Earlier this year he featured on the Wretch 32 No.2 smash 'Unorthodox' and Giggs's 'Look Over Your Shoulder'. He also bagged one of the biggest hype tracks of 2011 with the demon Skream collaboration 'Shot Yourself in the Foot Again' which received over 3.5 million YouTube views, climbed to #1 on HypeMachine and became a viral hit across the world. His new single 'Stay Awake' out 28th August is produced by dubstep lords Nero and is set to be another huge dance anthem.

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.
