Look like this will be his debut single in the USA.
VEVO just put up the MV and promoting it (when I was watching another video I saw a promo for this MV). Whenever VEVO promotes a MV in the USA, it means a launch is imminent.

Singer-songwriter and rapper Example has signed a deal with Mercury/Universal Records in the US.
Quote:
BRIT-nominated track Changed the Way You Kiss Me was the second biggest UK single from a male artist last year, selling over half a million copies and the release of this caught the attention of US label bosses.
Billboard recently described Example as “a new contender for the throne of hottest British rapper in the world” and Mercury US comes with the intention to break him Stateside.
Example said: “I'm pleased to have signed to a major label like Mercury/Universal in the US. It was important to me to sign with someone who understands not only my ambitions but also the way I work. I want to do it on my own terms, I enjoy a good challenge and can’t wait to get started.”
President of Mercury Records US David Massey said: “Everyone here is very excited to be working with Example, a world class songwriter and performer who is now a leading force in the live arena . A true modern day rock star who is at the forefront of the new wave of exciting electronic music exploding here in the US.”
Success in USA for an unknown artist is simple
1) Good Song (great song is even better).
2) Radio push (breaking into the top 10 of Mediabase would do the trick IMO).
Changed the Way You Kiss Me is a great song. Now all it needs to blow up is a radio push.
User comments (who clicked because it was featured after they watched a VEVO)
had never heard of example before 5 minutes ago.. to be honest i came to listen because the views were so low i thought it was going to suck.. but its pretty good! really modern and with the times.. perfect amount of dance/pop fusion
that moment when you click on a video expecting nothing and you come across something great
yeah, this is my first time hearing any song by them and I really like this. I can't believe they don't have more publicity and watchers
