Craig David's career renaissance shows no sign of stopping.
After a period out of the musical limelight following his early noughties heyday, an infamous 1Xtra Session when he joined Big Narstie and Stormzy in the studio, purely by chance, became a viral smash. Soon he was guesting with Major Lazer and releasing a bona fide comeback track with the help of the aforementioned Big Narstie, When The Bassline Drops, which was swiftly followed up by Nothing Like This.
Now he's going for a third comeback hit with One More Time - sadly not a cover of the Daft Punk track, although we bet he'd do a mean freestyle over that if he had to.
We caught up with Craig to discover his Ultimate Playlist - read on for some classic tracks.
