It’s the best album I’ve ever made. Hands down. Garage. Grime. DnB. House. Techno. Drill. Yes, DRILL!! Even a mad stadium rock song on there. It all flows nicely. The best singing I’ve ever done. The best rapping I’ve ever done. I’m excited for everyone to hear it.

Stream Example – We May Grow Old But We Never Grow Up on Spotify:

The title track opens the album with a subtle beat as Example adds his vocals in to take it to the next level.

“We May Grow Old But We Never Grow Up” introduces the album as Example reminisces on moments in his life, and hopes to evoke that same feeling in his listeners. An otherworldly synth pulsates accompanied by a heavy drum presence to create the perfect rap-focused track. “Dot Dot Dot” follows with a feature from Australian rappers Nerve and Local. The hip-hop beats bring out a heavy bass while a whistling swirl in the background. “Original” is another hip-hop-heavy track featuring unbeatable vocals from Example as a string instrument accompanies his lyrics about loving someone for being original.

Inspired by stadium rock, “Sideways” emphasizes a new genre featuring heavy guitar riffs, and a steady drum beat, while still incorporating a rap verse. This song ranges across genres which perfectly demonstrates Example’s wide range of versatility. The following track, “Every Single Time,” features vocals from Lucy Lucy and is co-produced by What So Not. Taking elements from each of their individual styles, this song gives off a sense of nostalgia bringing back a groovy nineties-type beat.

Penny Ivy is a frequent face on the album and offers her vocals on three different tracks.

The first, “Best Laid Plans” opens with a symphony of stringed instruments before the electronic beats hit throughout the rest of the track. Penny Ivy‘s pop vocals alternate with Example’s rap verses to make for a perfect pairing on this one. “I’m About (Only Got Today)” is a collaboration with Westneat and Penny Ivy for some sublime sounds for listeners to explore while “Never Let You Down” has a piano accompanying the vocals before it breaks into a drum and bass beat with flourishes from Kanine as Penny Ivy takes over control.

“Won’t Forget You” brings a collaboration with Tommy Trash and accompanying vocals from Window Kid – the metallic synths and deep undertones blend the styles of both renowned producers in the most stunning way on this track. The closing tune, “Egyptian Cotton,” follows with a plucky Spanish guitar, the beat picks up as the subtle background of female vocals begins. Example enlisted Local, JME, and Westneat for this song to add extra layers of diversity and make it really stand out.

Example says We May Grow Old But We Never Grow Up is his best work to date, and we couldn’t agree more. He’s been changing the game for electronic music for nearly two decades and his eighth album a testament to his ability to take risks and develop his own unique style in the dance music scene.
