Which of his current dance features is your favourite?

Which dance producers would you like to see him feature with in the future?

So many songs to choose from here you could make a whole CD just with his features alone! It’s never an easy task choosing favourites, some in fact were songs I had not previously discovered but found from his back catalogue and included as they seemed to fit the general dance genre. So here is how I’ve rated them all.

1. Nothing Like This (with Blonde)
2. Addicted (with DJ Assad)
3. No Drama (with James Hype)
4. Ain’t Giving Up (with Sigala)
5. When The Bassline Drops (with Big Narstie)
6. Woman Trouble (with Artful Dodger & Robbie Craig)
7. Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta) (with Artful Dodger)
8. You Don’t Know Me (with Pete Tong, Jules Buckley & The Heritage Orchestra)
9. Our Love (with Stereo Palma)
10. Do It On My Own (with Remady)
11. Reload (with Chase & Status)
12. No Holding Back (with Hardwell)
13. Sober (with Nile Rodgers & Chic)
14. Bang Bang (with DJ Fresh & Diplo)
15. Bits ‘n Pieces (with Dim Chris)
16. Got It Good (with Kaytranada)
17. We Were Just Kids (with Clean Bandit)
18. Who Am I (with Major Lazer & Katy B)

Who ought to work with Craig next is a tough one to call. His voice suits so many style of music, and he is a household name that many producers would like to work with. Seeing as he hasn’t had an official single yet with Calvin Harris (except a bootleg), I would say that was a good shout, and perhaps one other option could be Sigma.

In addition to the songs included in the opening thread, here are a 5 other songs Craig David has featured on which weren’t released as official songs. These songs aren’t generally available on streaming platforms, but I would recommend giving them a listen too;

 

What Ya Gonna Do (with Artful Dodger)

 

Fly Away (with In The Screen vs. Rony Seikaly)

 

Get Drunk Up (with Erick Morillo)

 

Good Time (with Calvin Harris)

 

Disco Ball (with Kaya)

Re-Rewind... is a classic followed by ‘Woman Trouble’ which is just as good.

 

More recently my favourite track he’s provided vocals for would be the Blonde one.

WHEN THE CROWD SAY BO SELECTA.

 

No Drama is a close second though

Re-Rewind definitely, what a garage classic *.*

Woman Trouble >>>>> Re-Rewind

Voted for Woman Trouble, I prefer it to Re-rewind, love the funky instrumental and great vocals from both Craigs.

I am only familiar with his 2 first hits..... and No Drama ;-)

I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised to see his breakthrough hit taking centre stage in this poll. It may still be his only feature people most associate with him in his garage days. It is still his highest peaking dance feature to date, peaking at #2.

 

Keep the votes and comments coming. ^_^

Ain’t Giving Up (with Sigala)

Lots of good stuff here but has to be Re-Rewind!
