Luke Bainbridge 

Example: Won’t Go Quietly

A host of contrasting producers leave Example's second LP feeling a bit disjointed, says Luke Bainbridge
  
  


Example, AKA west London rapper Elliot Gleave, has employed various producers du jour on his second LP, including Calvin Harris, dubstep masters Chase & Status and drum'n'bass producer Sub Focus. He got the beats he was after, but from the insistent dance-pop of the title track, through the buoyant electro-pop of "Kickstarts", to the tender "Millionaires", the package feels a bit disjointed. Example calls his music "dysfunctional electro-pop" but it's more scattershot than dysfunctional. An Example to us all, it's just not exactly clear what of.
