Craig David knows how to celebrate Christmas.
Doing what a lot of artists do around this time of year, Mr. “Re-Rewind” himself has shared his take on a Christmas classic.
Choosing to rework “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”, the song was introduced to the world by Judy Garland back in 1944. It has since been covered by an array of artists, including Sam Smith, Bing Crosby, and more recently MiC LOWRY, and now Craig David adds his name to the ever-growing list.
Reflecting back on 2017, and speaking on what “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” means to him, Craig said:
“This year has been so amazing and I’m so grateful to everyone that has supported me and shown so much love for my new music and live shows. I love this time of the year, especially because I can reflect on how incredible the year and those moments have been with those closest to me. Spending some quality time with my Mum and Dad is going to be so good. No doubt Home Alone will be on rotation in the background, which was the inspiration for doing this cover as it was one of my favourites from the movie. Have a great Christmas with your loved ones and I’m excited for what the new year has in store. Especially the New Album The Time is Now.”

Capping off a superb year that has included a 17 date sold out arena tour, performing on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, and a 10 week sold out Ibiza Rocks residency, Craig David’s new album, The Time is Now, arrives January 26th 2018. His new single featuring Bastille, “I Know You”, is currently featured on the BBC Radio 1 playlist and is moving up the charts.
