Your support makes all the difference.Craig David is currently enjoying an unexpected career second wind in a comeback that's gaining momentum.
Proving to his fans that he hasn't forgotten his humble beginnings, the R'n'B artist has posted a photo to his Instagram which sees him recreating the cover of his acclaimed first album, Born To Do It.
In case you've forgotten (it was 16 years ago), the album artwork featured the singer, clad with headphones, feeling the music.
The recreated shot, designed to promote his cover of Jack Garratt's "Breathe Life," will excite those fans who are sure to be anticipating what'll be a busy summer for the singer; he has a string of DJ sets, European tour dates and an appointment at Bestival on their way.
David has also teased a future mixtape collaboration with Drake, saying that the rapper "recognised Born To Do It as a record that was pivotal in his career and I was recognising all his mixtapes that he was doing. Drake and myself, a mix tape - I know that it would be fire."
Born To Do It still holds the feat of being the fastest-selling debut record for a British male solo act; its tracks include the singles "Fill Me In", "Walking Away" and "7 Days."
His new album Following My Intuition will be released on an unspecified date in 2016.
