Track of the Year by Example

Example
Changed the Way You Kiss Me

Playing in the Shadows

Returning with new music following the success of 'Kickstarts' and 'Won't Go Quietly' was always going to prove challenging for Example, but when 'Changed the Way You Kiss Me' emerged on the internet back in May - the situation changed. No longer would Elliot Gleave have his fans chanting "Play Kickstarts" at every last appearance, but rather they'd demand for his future #1 single to be played. Two months later and 'Changed the Way You Kiss Me' topped the UK Singles Chart - spending two weeks at the peak and an amazing 7 weeks in the top 10. Produced by Michael Woods, the track has already sold more than 400k in the UK alone, but it's no wonder really. The track is just full of energy. From the very first listen, it was evident that 'the drop' would become a defining moment in Example's career - the single has 'club-banger' written all over it. But what makes the track even better is the underlying dark lyrics, including "... you're scaring me, and I don't like where it's going". I have to give it to Example here - 'CTWYKM' is a defining song of 2011 - with the picture selected below displaying how wild the crowd went when he performed the track at the iTunes Festival in July 2011.
