George P. I see your still at it, good stuff, but did you really have to add the Get Drunk Up song? lol... There are some out there who will like it, but for me it is terrible, this coming from a massive fan.
I can see people being like, oh yea... I remember the name Craig David, let me click on this and then after hearing that saying, "he fell off", when this song dosent really represent him at all.
I just came here to put on this link of Craig David @ the MJ Tribute concert. This is the best video on youtube at the moment.
Also, he performed this song acoustically a few years ago:
Also, since his last album, you can find a few songs of his on the internet, so if anyone is interested check these out: "Who Am I?" "Going My Way" "I Don't Think So" "Like I Never Left" "Do It On My Own" (Remady feat. Craig David) "Just Because You Have A Baby" (Sway feat. Craig David)
Finally here is Craig David performing acoustically Kings Of Leon's "Use Somebody" live on BBC 1xtra Live Lounge (Radio) in 2010:
and if you don't believe those live vocals, here is a slightly different version:
I prob sound like a proper hardcore fan, but that is probably cause I am. :)

Still pissed that "The Story Goes..." wasn't released in the US. "Just Chillin" would've been the PERFECT lead single during that time. I *still* play that one.

I just thought I'd bring a few vid's to attention, which can all be found on this youtube page, by some dedicated Craig David fan (not me). www.youtube.com/user/LDNsd7Fearne and Craig David TV interview special (around Sept 2010): Also, check out this amazing live piano performance of "I Wonder Why" from his 5th album SSD.

And oh, for anyone who missed this in January: SPOTTED: Craig David working out on the beach in MiamiWritten by Ayeola UK R&B artist Craig David was spotted working out on the beach in Miami. The artist relocated there and is busy in the studio working on new material. Staying healthy must have been his top priority for the new year because he’s been tweeting about working out on the regular. On January 1 he said on Twitter: Craig has not had a top ten hit in the UK since “Hot Stuff (Let’s Dance”) charted at number seven but he is positive that he is in for a good year of music success. He tweeted: We wish you the best Craig. We hope in 2012 you take a trip to your dad’s homeland Grenada; they’ve got awesome beaches too! MORE PICS

For those that dont know, Craig and Mark have tweeted each other numerous times over the last year and planned on getting in the studio togeather some time this summer (when Craig gets time to come back to the UK). As of this week, Craig has tweeted that he is in the UK, so they might actually be in the studio as I speak. Craig is at his best when he makes smooth, chilled out R&B songs. The ones you can play wherever you are; at home, in the car etc. Him and Mark make those songs well. Update: Craig David and Harvey Mason Jr. ("One-half of the production team The Underdogs") chatted on twitter about 2 weeks ago: @craigdavid: Happy Birthday @harveymasonjr one of the best producers the industry has! Owning R&B slow jams #TheUnderdogs @harveymasonjr: @craigdavid CD!!!!! What's good w u? Thank u so much for the bday wishes. Hope all is well w u and I really hope to see u soon. @craigdavid: @harveymasonjr I'm great! Ready to get together & create something special in the studio once again! The 'Adonis' song is fire btw! CD + UD = R&B Classic For those that dont know, They both previously worked together on "The Story Goes" where 2 of the songs made the album (arguably the 2 best songs): "My Love Don't Stop" "Take 'Em Off" Hopefully this starts the linkup for Craig to work with The Underdogs again!

Published: 22/08/2012 08:40 - Updated: 22/08/2012 10:35 Craig David stuns fans with surprise appearance at wedding Craig David with Theo and Lisa at their wedding.Picture: o&cphotography.com A couple had all of their wedding dreams come true after singing sensation Craig David made an appearance at their big day. Theo Coyne and Lisa Potter-Dixon, now Lisa Potter-Coyne, are both massive fans of the R&B star, and in May this year thought they’d try their luck in inviting him to their wedding. To their amazement, he agreed and Craig flew all the way from Los Angeles to sleepy Witchford, near Ely, to join the happy couple and their guests with the celebrations. Theo, 28, and Lisa, 29, who live in London, recorded their own quirky Craig David-themed video asking the star to attend their wedding and posted it onto YouTube in May this year. Before they knew it, the video had gone viral on social networking site Twitter and was soon viewed by the singer himself. Heartened by the couple’s plea, Craig’s management people then called Theo and Lisa to tell them the news they had dreamed of hearing – that he would make every effort to attend the wedding. Theo and Lisa got married at Ely Register Office on Friday and on Saturday, hundreds of their family and friends gathered at Lisa’s father and step-mother’s house in a quiet cul-de-sac, The Warren, in Witchford, for the post-wedding celebrations. And, unbelievably, at 9pm, Craig, who scored a massive hit with 7 Days in 2000, arrived. A guest at the wedding, who did not want to be named, said: “Craig was absolutely amazing. “He was so down-to-earth that we almost forgot he was a celebrity. He mingled with guests, he hugged people and he signed so many things for not only Theo and Lisa but also lots of guests. It was a pinch-yourself moment. “Craig then performed an hour’s set in the back garden – again, a really surreal moment. “Everybody knew all the words to all his songs so the atmosphere was just incredible. It really was a dream come true for Theo and Lisa.” Neighbours were also left flabbergasted after hearing the star singing – only to realise he was next door. One neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: “We knew the wedding reception was being held and then all of a sudden we heard singing. “I thought ‘crikey, that’s a Craig David song and that doesn’t half sound like him singing it’, only to realise he was actually next door. “I can’t believe Craig David was in Witchford – what an amazing moment for the couple.”

Glad to see him get a steady gig! I wonder if he's still working on a new album?

Yeah he is working on his new album to be released in 2014!
BTW he had a slot on Kiss100 what his TS5 sets were being playd since November 2012 to early 2013. He then left and has now recently joined CapitalFM. These are 2 of the biggest radio stations in England, although he had/has late night slots on both.
Here's some recent tweets from his @craigdavid twitter account:
Fraser T Smith was his guitarist back in the early days (BTDI) and moved into producing. He's been on a few of Craig's albums.
Just the other day Craig got back in with "The Underdogs". They did "Take Em Off" and "My Love Don't Stop" from "The Story Goes".
He's been working with Marshall (Anthony Marshall) alot recently. Marshall was a part of the producing group "Ignorants". They produced the "Walking Away (Remix)", "Smoothed Out" and a many of the tracks on "Slicker Than Your Average".
and he been talking to Mark Hill (Mr. BTDI) many times on twitter about getting back in the studio since 2012, but no official word on whether they have done so.
If he does drop the album next year it could turn out to be a very good album, plus he says the direction is going to be R&B!

Just a quick update:
New song Cold: https%3A//soundcloud.com/craigdavidofficial/craig-david-cold
He's done a few remixes to various popular songs, most recently Trey Songz's "Touchin' Lovin'".
Others include Chris Brown's "Loyal" and Drake's "Pound Cake". He also took Justin Bieber's "Recovery" and sung "Fill Me In" over the beat (which was a sample of "Fill Me In" anyway, so a bit pointless).
No news on the album yet. Surprising... I know. :lol:
