  Example

  Having spent well over a decade in the game, the UK mainstay has crafted a career drenched in accolades: Platinum albums, chart-topping singles, headline festivals slots, and a lengthy stint releasing inescapable anthems that bridge the gap between electronic, rap and pop. Still, Example isn't ready to hang up his boots just yet; rather, he's preparing for the most important release of his career.

  The first taste of that album comes via 'Every Single Time', a single that features one of Australia's most acclaimed producers, What So Not. It explores the impact that songs have on people's fondest memories, with Example's vocals gliding over nostalgic production that builds into a glitchy, chopped drop. "Fans always say to me, 'Oh my God, your song reminds me of the first time I lost my virginity, your song reminds me of the time I had my first drink, your song reminds me of the time I kissed my wife.' And that got me thinking about the concept of what songs mean to people," he says.

  With the benefit of hindsight and a few more years of wisdom, Example discusses what it means to grow older, especially when you've sworn by the Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll mantra.

  Billy Ocean

  Leslie Sebastian Charles, aka Billy Ocean, was born in Fyzabad, Trinidad and Tobago and moved to England with his family at the age of eight. In his teenage years, he sang regularly in London clubs. He released his first single in 1972 on Spark Records as Les Charles.

  By 1976 he had adopted the name Billy Ocean and recorded his debut album, Billy Ocean, with the first single, "Love Really Hurts Without You," charting at number 2 in the United Kingdom and number 22 in the United States. More hits followed, such as “L.O.D. (Love On Delivery)”. He also wrote songs for other artists such as LaToya Jackson. In 1982 he hit the U.S. Rhythm and Blues Chart with “Nights (Feel Like Getting Down).”

  Ocean's period of greatest success began with Suddenly in 1984 and its main single "Caribbean Queen". The song's title and lyrics were changed for different regions, such that the song is also known as "African Queen" or "European Queen". The album's title track also became a hit. His 1986 album Love Zone also sold very well, with hit singles "When the Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going" and "There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)." His 1988 album Tear Down These Walls had another number one single, "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car".

  His later albums, such as Time to Move On, L.I.F.E. and Showdown, failed to spawn hits, but his 1989 Greatest Hits collection has been a steady seller over the years.

  In 2002, the University of Westminster awarded Billy Ocean an honorary doctorate of music. He continues to tour and record in Europe.
