Example has discussed recording his new album with Madonna collaborator Stuart Price.

The British popstar recorded his new album, Live Life Living, with DJ/producer Price in Los Angeles – and used the same microphone Madonna sang into when she recorded her classic 2005 album Confessions On A Dance Floor.

“I was recording on this microphone in LA and I was like: ‘This mic is fucking amazing'”, he told the Daily Star Playlist.

“Stuart said: ‘Oh this is the mic we did the whole of the Confessions On A Dance Floor album with’.”

Example went on to claim that “Madonna’s mic was special”, saying: “There’s a certain mystique around it that you can’t explain, because that album reignited her career. I don’t think she’s had the same success since. It must be the magic mic!”

Meanwhile, our columnist Darren Hayes has recently argued that the world needs a brilliant new Madonna album – read the full article here.
