Kurupt FM on 1Xtra got Craig David to confess to loving music again,after one performance again and it was lovely, he was feeling the music himself when performing feel me in........"It was too much energy in there. Big Narstie was doing his thing with
Stormzy coming through and Shola Ama sounded amazing.
"When I did the Fill Me In combo it was just something I thought would
sound cool on the drop but then people went nuts for it."
His loving the response got from the performance,
"The comments have been so beautiful," he admits with a huge smile on
his face.
"I'm in that place of loving music again and not taking things too serious."
Craig says the reaction on social media has reinforced his reasoning for
being back in the studio.
"When you come out the box and you sell seven million records and you
have songs like Fill Me In and 7 Days and Walking Away - that's what
people expect."
Despite the anticipation for his sixth album Craig says he doesn't feel any
pressure because he's "removed it" from his life.
Loving music again
At one point Craig admits he fell out of love with music - albeit
momentarily.
"There was a moment where I bought into statistics," he remembers.
"I bought into the charts and the records I was selling.
"I remember the first album doing so well and selling seven million.
"My next album did 3.5 million and I was looking at it like it was a
disappointment.
"There are now albums selling 20,000 and getting number one.
"I bought in to all the nonsense because I took it too serious and if you
keep on that road you start to buy into all of that and you forget about
what it was about."
Craig says, at the age of 34, he's back feeling like a 17-year-old kid again.
"It's about being hungry and passionate," he says.
And there he goes after filling us in to play Bestival and then he's off to
visit his mum.
Craig David will fancy the chance of hitting the studio again and dropping a new studio album, it's been over five years since we've seen or heard anything close to an Album. Almost the whole World love his debuts album.....from the street to the living room...from the rural to sub-urbam to Urban-the lyrics where cool and the tracks very hot..
Though, no hint was dropped on any new album yet....it will be good to buy something new that looks like an Album from him....."My thing is I just want to get it right," he admits to Newsbeat at Bestival.
"I've set such a benchmark.
We wish him lucks!!!
