Album Review: Example "Live Life Living"

Exanple
Live Life Living
Epic Records

"Playing In The Shadows" was the darkest that Example has been and unless he hits rock bottom, he will ever be. "The Evolution of Man" was the less appreciated sequel, telling the tale of a man on the mend. "Live Life Living" is the third and final chapter of the trilogy: one of reintegration living life to the fullest, but dangerously straddling the line that started the trilogy, as heard on "Take Me As I Am".

Example "10 Million People"

I have been enjoying Example's "Live Life Living" a lot more than I thought I would, to the point that I have grown to like the previous flop singles that aren't "One More Day". One of my personal faves from the album is the spiritual sucessor to the aforementioned "Day", "10 Million People".

Example "One More Day (Stay With Me)"

YASSSSSS Example! SLAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

Example "Only Human"

I wonder about Example sometimes. I almost counted him out entirely after the first two singles from his album did nothing lyrically and sonically for me personally, but he may just be pulling our at our musical leg for fun.

Example Continues To Disappoint With "Kids Again"

I'm starting to think that Example is losing his musical mojo. 2011's "Playing In The Shadows" and 2012's "The Evolution of Man" were phenomenal records, with the latter being criminally underrated by the public and not given the proper single releases.

Example "All The Wrong Places"

Example is like the male equivalent of Rihanna (except that he puts out quality albums every year and writes most of his tracks). The newly married rapper/singer has debuted the first single from his fifth studio album, due later this year. "All The Wrong Places" keeps with the darker themes that "Playing In The Shadows" and "The Evolution of Man" showcased, except he doesn't do any rapping, like at all! The breakdown though has to be the best part of the song, similar to the Mortal Kombat theme song. Hoping that he can get another #1 with this one.

Example "Perfect Replacement" Music Video

I'm guessing this video was inspired by Example's bouncing around onstage when he performs live. The third single from his album, "The Evolution of Man" "Perfect Replacement" continues the dark electro-rock route that he tried with "Close Enemies" and failed. He should have released "All My Lows" or fan favourite "Queen of Your Dreams" as the next single, since "Enemies" didn't do so well on the charts. In this, a guy is seen bouncing and thrashing around in different places around a city, including a sandwich shoppe that looks like the one from Calvin Harris' "Sweet Nothing" video and a dark club. A bit on the boring side, but it isn't going to make me like the song less.
