Craig David

Craig David is one of the UK music scene's most successful male solo exports. During his ten-year career he has sold over 13 million albums, enjoyed 13 Top Ten hits and achieved multi-platinum status in more than 20 countries, even appearing on the cover of NME.

He also continues to sell out venues worldwide as well as at home including a solid four nights at Wembley Arena. A winner of two MTV Europe Awards, three Ivor Novello Awards and four MOBO Awards, he has also been nominated for twelve BRIT Awards and two Grammys. His debut album, 'Born To Do It', recently came second in a poll by MTV last year to find the Greatest Album Ever, beaten only by Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'. Craig has also recorded with the likes of Kano, Sting and Tinchy Stryder, and features on Jay Sean's new album.

Craig was also recently awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Music from Southampton Solent University for his contribution to the industry. His arrival to the scene came through 'Re-Rewind', a track that saw the dawn of a new age in British music, and a song that is now synonymous with the arrival of The UK Garage movement back in December 1999. Now based between London and the creative melting pot of Miami, Craig is still one of the most talented and enduring R&B acts on the planet with over four studio albums to his name and a fifth on the way.

His brand new album, 'Signed Sealed Delivered' asserts once more why Craig is such a significant artist. Covering a multitude of mostly Motown classics, Craig's fifth studio offering retains his innovative approach to music-making, whilst respectfully delving into the past. It's not quite the straight forward covers album you'd expect, as Craig gives classics from the likes of Stevie Wonder, the Four Tops and The Temptations a modern twist; the first single 'One More Lie (Standing In The Shadows)' is the perfect example with it's beautifully raw 60s soul sample, sitting comfortably over a 21st century hard knock drumbeat coupled with some of Craig David's most versatile vocals to date. The album features classics such as: 'For Once In My Life', 'Papa Was A Rolling Stone', 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' and, of course, the title track by Stevie.

Craig David Makes His Sensational Return With... 'One More Lie (Standing In The Shadows)' Released 15th March 2010

Back with a new single and new record deal, Craig David will release 'One More Lie (Standing In The Shadows)' on March 15th through his new label - Universal Music.

The single, his first since 2008, takes a sample from the classic Four Tops hit (first released in 1966) and gives it a modern flavour. The end result is a hugely infectious upbeat floor-filler with hard knock drums and a new level of vocal from Craig.

'One More Lie (Standing In The Shadows)' will be the first single from what will be Craig's fifth studio album Signed Sealed Delivered released a week later on the March 22nd. The album is a collection of memorable hits written by some of Motown's finest and reworked in Craig's inimitable style.

'One More Lie (Standing In The Shadows)' has also been remixed by a whole host of critically acclaimed international DJs. Funky House DJ Donaeo's mix has already been featured by Radio 1Xtra, whilst the track has also been remixed by top American DJ Redtop. Producers Haji & Emmanuel, who have re-mixed the likes of the Sugababes and Rihanna, mix has also taken the club scene by storm.

2010 marks ten years in the music industry for Craig. He continues to sell out arenas all over the globe, including 4 nights at Wembley Arena. His list of accolades is seriously impressive: A winner of 2 MTV Europe Music Awards, 3 Ivor Novello Awards and 4 MOBO Awards.
