One of the true greats in the evolution of music in the UK. Started in the late 90s in garage remember at school Rewind. He absolutely smashed it then took a dip unfairly in his career. Could not be HAPPIER the way he revived his career with TS5 in Miami and HE COMPLETELY smashed it with the Justin Bieber mix Where Are You Now with Fill Me In!! Then he ABSOLUTELY killed it with My Intuition. SUPER talented.

This guy has one of the best voices I ever heard period. Born To Do It to this day is my all-time favorite R&B album. It's sad that he wasn't able to catch on too much over here in the states. He would have given Usher a run for his money

Craig David is a Straight G!!!!! First broke out on the scene around year 2000 with a new and unique style. One of the greatest albums ever (Born to do it) and it was an intro album too. Songs like Walking Away, 7 days, Fill me in, Rendezvous are timeless classics that still sound fresh today. Awesome live singer and he was also putting down live acoustic performances before that was really in style. One of a kind artist who has awesome songs currently. His live performance at Glastonbury festival on the main stage in front of over 100,000 people was EPIC!!!! So glad he is back. He also killed the five fingers of death!! Thanks to Sway for having him on and giving him that great intro.

On the way out, I met one of my students with her mother, who very awkwardly asked me not to tell anyone why her daughter wont be in school tomorrow lol The show was the best show I have ever been to. So many generations partying in one room.

I hope so, I really hope so cause it's been a long time coming for Craig to release any music here. I pre-ordered and listened to the album already and it's dope but different and I really wish that he makes it big here again by releasing his new album. Respect and 1 love!!!!
