1. The Voice

This one is pretty obvious. Craig David has one of the silkiest voices around, and his tones are timeless. From when he first shot to fame in the 90s, to his heroic comeback to the mainstream around 15 years later, his voice still sounds amazing.

2. The Rapping

So we know he can sing like an angel, but Craig can also rap with the best of them, sometimes even combining the two to create a unique style of his own. Whether it’s a verse in his songs, or freestyle at a gig, Craig David shows off his flow just as effortlessly as he can show of his vocal ability.

When that bass line drops and those luscious vocals come in, the crowd goes wild, and Craig David is the perfect person to have on that stage to get the audience onside through his energetic performance, general happy aura and, obviously, those vocals. Whether he’s performing to a camera in the live lounge or an arena full of people, Craig David puts on a show that only he could, combining spectacle with a smooth vibe.

4. The Classics

7 Days and ReRewind, with Artful Dodger, are perhaps Craig David’s biggest hits and they are infectious, from the vocals to the beat, you can’t resist them when they drop. Even just the sound of this Garage, Pop, R&B crossover is like no one else, sparking any party, concert or car journey into a sing/dance along.
