Example has confirmed the name of his forthcoming new album.

The British rapper and singer has announced that the record, which is due for a November release, will be called 'The Evolution of Man'.

Example said that the album will chart his own personal evolution from someone who acted like a "buffoon" to someone happy to settle down. He said:

"It's about me evolving personally and the stuff I've gone through in the past year; growing up, settling down and me stop behaving like a buffoon all the time."

As previously reported, Example said that the follow-up to his 2011 album 'Playing in the Shadows' was recorded all over the world whilst he was out on tour.

He said that some parts were recorded on trains and planes in different countries.
