Example is lining up his comeback after signing a new record deal and announcing a new single.

The track, which features vocals from Lucy Lucy and production from What So Not, heads up his forthcoming eighth studio album.

"I never thought I’d sign another record deal," he said in a statement. "I’d had so many experiences over the years - many good but also many negative - that I was looking forward to being independent for the foreseeable."

After meeting Heath Johns, BMG managing director Australia & New Zealand, Example said he was "blown away with their ethos and their ambition.

"I have been given a fair deal that puts me and my team in the driving seat albeit with an incredible world class team at our disposal".

Example scored his first commerical hit with 2009's Watch The Sun Come Up. To date, he's landed 15 Top 40 hits on the UK's Official Singles Chart, including eight Top 10s.

In 2011, he scored two back-to-back Number 1s, with Changed The Way You Kiss Me and Stay Awake. Both feature on the chart-topping album Playing In The Shadows, which is certified platinum in the UK with 384,000 chart sales.
