CRAIG DAVID. SEVEN daaays.

Yes, it is indeed, the return of the mack. R’n'B lothario Craig David today released a new song, and it’s literally music to our ears. The British singer has been off our radar since his last original album in 2007.

But now, he’s back, with a single about MDMA. Erm, yeah.

Here’s why we’re delighted this is happening, and you should be too.

6. THIS song

If you can’t tell us what Craig David is doing on any one day of the week, we don’t even want to know you.

His only upcoming gig is Vestival in Holland next month, which is quite frankly, a travesty.
