Live Life Living [Deluxe Edition]

Two years after going groovy with his Kasabian-influenced album The Evolution of Man, rave-rap-singer Example winds up at his new home on Epic and takes the major label's name to heart, offering a kaleidoscope of EDM uplift and a set of anthem lyrics that might make him the world's greatest motivational tweaker. About 9 of the 12 tracks on Live Life Living could open a festival set that follows Deadmau5 while offering the same kind of rave-y punch, plus there's a keen awareness of hip neo-disco, as "One More Day (Stay with Me)" bounces and bubbles just like Robin S.' "Show Me Love." An EDM-styled build and release drives the music behind "Kids Again," a young-at-heart ode to letting loose, while "Take Me as I Am" starts pop before growing into a stadium dubstep monster that shoots infectious hooks across the dancefloor. Need some get-up-and go? Live Life Living remains true to its title, as if hundreds of thousands of motivational posters were melted down and turned into drum machines
