Editor's note

Example's dance-pop anthems defined a UK era

Elliot Gleave's electro-hip-hop rhythms powered festival sets and radio hits through the 2010s.

For the full picture, start with 'Changed The Way You Kiss Me' and then check out 'Birthday Card', they bookend that peak era nicely.

When 'Changed The Way You Kiss Me' came out in 2010, it was everywhere on UK radio for months. That song, along with tracks like 'Birthday Card' and 'We'll Be Coming Back' with Calvin Harris, gave British electronic pop a specific, club-ready sound that felt built for big rooms. He kept that energy going through five studio albums, never straying far from the dance floor.

Starting as Elliot Gleave in the early 2000s, he found his lane with the 2010 album 'Won't Go Quietly' and its hit single. He followed with 'Playing in the Shadows' in 2011 and 'Kids Again' in 2013, maintaining a steady output of electro-hip-hop tracks designed for festival sets. Even after some public trouble around 2011, he kept touring with his band and releasing albums, settling into a reliable spot in the dance scene by the mid-2010s.

Archive material and source history

Example started as Elliot Gleave in the early 2000s, putting out dance tracks that caught on in the UK. His 2010 album 'Won't Go Quietly' had a hit with 'Changed The Way You Kiss Me,' which got a lot of radio play and helped define that era of British electronic pop. He followed it up with 'Playing in the Shadows' in 2011 and 'Kids Again' in 2013, keeping a steady output of club-ready singles.

He worked with Calvin Harris on 'We'll Be Coming Back,' which did well internationally, and other songs like 'Birthday Card' and 'Won't Believe The Fools' kept his sound in the mix. The music leaned into electro and hip-hop rhythms, built for big rooms and festival sets.

Around 2011, there was some public trouble involving an altercation and assault charges, which he moved past without it derailing the music. He kept releasing albums and touring, with a band that included Pat Cash on drums and Pete Hobbs on guitar. By the mid-2010s, he'd put out five studio albums and settled into a reliable spot in the dance scene.
