With a new tour announced for next year, seeing the musician performing on a total of 16 dates that begin on the 11 th February at Bournemouth’s BIC, and end on the 1 st March at Manchester’s MEN, there’s no doubt that Example will continue to be on everyone’s lips, minds, and play lists for quite some time.

B ritish singer and rapper Example welcomed the month of September with a new single release ‘Say Nothing’. Last year saw the musician achieve a number one album in the form of Playing In The Shadows, as well as two consecutive number one songs, and with his recent arena tour selling out all 14 dates, there is every possibility he could hit the top spot once again. ‘ Say Nothing’ which is produced by DJ Dirty South, is the lead single from Example’s fourth album, The Evolution Of Man, due to be released on November 18 th . The song provides an uplifting blend of mild electronics and soft guitars juxtaposed with a driving beat. It has catchy melodies and a chorus that will instantly be popular on the radio. In such a song, perhaps the rap in the third quarter seems a little out of place. The London- centric accent of the rapping presents a slight trace of grittiness in an otherwise glossy production. Much publicity will fall upon this release, not least because of the unrelenting energy with which Example has brought to his many recent endeavours. As well as featuring on Calvin Harris’ July single ‘We’ll Be Coming Back’, Example has performed twelve summer shows in Ibiza, and has taken part in several British and European festivals, including Benicassim, Radio One’s Hackney Weekender, Wireless, and T In The Park. Released under the Ministry Of Sound label, ‘Say Nothing’ would be incomplete without a

Joe McElderry has released the first single from his upcoming new album, both of which are titled ‘Here’s What I Believe’. Released through Decca Records, the song is one of three on the new album that McElderry himself has contributed to writing, a first for

the singer and a sure sign of growth in his work. ‘Here’s What I Believe’, in particular, is a song that saw McElderry writing with former Shakespears Sister member Marcella Detroit. The album also sees collaborations with the pianist Ludovico Einaudi and Nashville NAMMY Songwriter of the Year,

Beth Nielson Chapman. Throw in cover versions of songs by Queen, Leo Sayer, and Rod Stewart to name but a few, and the fact that McElderry won ITV’s second series of Popstar To Operastar last year, and we have a surprisingly diverse album with several unexpected influences. Having said that, there would be greater room for respect had there been more than simply four original songs, so ‘Here’s What I Believe’, being one of those few, is under quite a bit of pressure to deliver. It’s a simple, unassuming ballad with lyrics of strength and of moving on, with ever so slight traces of cynicism “ Good luck with your part-time lover…”, and defiance delivered by McElderry’s effeminately smooth vocals. It is not going to change the music world, but it will no doubt do its job and be popular with radio audiences. So far this year McElderry has performed at the MillVolvoTyneTheatre in Newcastle on Tuesday 18 th September and St. James’ Church in London on Thursday 20 th September. http://joemcelderryofficial.com Watch the ‘Here’sWhat I Believe’ video on: http://youtu.be/kz0zrCqUJmQ
