Addicted To You is already one of my fave Avicii tracks :wub:
My fav song of his! so much better than the overplayed Wake Me Up
'Addicted To You' kind of sounds like a good version of 'Shot Me Down'.

It's funny that you say that, because David Guetta actually did a remix of Addicted To You, and it sounds exactly the same as Shot Me Down :lol:

Biography

His initials being E.G., English MC/vocalist Elliot Gleave performed under the name Example. Gleave got his feet wet as an MC while attending Royal Holloway, where he met Joseph Gardner (aka Rusher) and recorded a concept album in the audio booth of the university's film department. "A Pointless Song," one of the tracks recorded there, became Example's first release, a 2004 single on his All the Chats label. A handful of successive 12" singles, as well as an answer song to Lily Allen's "Smile" — "Vile," issued on The Beats, the label run by the Streets' Mike Skinner — gained the attention of several BBC DJs. What We Made, Example's debut album, followed on The Beats in 2007 but failed to make much of a commercial impact. A deal with Ministry of Sound's Data label and an overt focus on reaching the clubs, however, fostered chart success. Released in 2009, "Watch the Sun Come Up," produced by the Fearless, peaked in the Top 20 of the U.K. pop chart, while both "Won't Go Quietly" (also produced by the Fearless) and "Kickstarts" (Sub Focus) reached the Top Ten and topped the dance chart.

 

The full-length Won't Go Quietly was released in June 2010 and featured the pre-album hits, as well as productions from MJ Cole, Calvin Harris, Chase & Status, and Björn Yttling (of Peter Bjorn and John). Featuring the hits "Stay Awake" and "Changed the Way You Kissed Me," his 2011 effort, Playing in the Shadows, debuted at number one on the U.K. album charts. Calvin Harris, Benga, and Dada Life were some of the producers whose work was found on his 2012 effort, The Evolution of Man. In 2013 the career-spanning #hits ended the artist's relationship with Ministry of Sound, as he had signed with the Epic Records label. - iTunes

Will be muting my radio now. Cannot stand him
Yes! Another top 20 for Example! :w00t: :dance:

That does not surprise me! :P

 

'Kids Again' is another quite good song from Example but like 'All The Wrong Places' it just doesn't have the same impact as his older songs. He seems to have really lost it of late. That said, this hasn't done badly at all to match the peak of 'All The Wrong Places'. Will probably be lucky to have a second week top 40 though.

Another #13 for Example!

Edited by ►ej

Example getting a second #13 hit in a row :lol: How unlucky for him, although it is deserved. His older stuff was much better.

The main melody/bassline of this song sounds really familiar, I'm sure I've heard it before?

 

I don't feel Example's really progressed in sound at all since 2011, this sounds almost exactly like his stuff released then.

LOVE this
I really don't like Example. I have no real idea why!

Maybe because he is not beautiful? :angel:

 

I love his music. ^_^
