What's Good Ya'll! It's Concert Season for your girl and on Wednesday, May 15, 2024 I had the pleasure of seeing Craig David. Now, I honestly don't know a lot of people personally, who still listen to Craig David. However, as I kept checking for tickets they kept decreasing...here I am thinking I can wait last minute and there's others like me excited to sing 'Fill Me In' live lol. While many may only remember Craig David as a UK artist who was able to crossover into the US early 2000's with hit singles like 'Fill Me In' and '7 Days', David has never stopped creating music and performing. On September 10, 2015, David appeared on KurupFM's 'Sixty Minute Takeover' on BBC Radio 1Xtra with MistaJam. He performed "Fill Me In" over the track "Where Are Ü Now" and it became a viral internet hit. In 2016, David appeared on Kaytranada's album '99.9%', on the track 'Got It Good', which he also co-wrote. This song also appeared on his sixth studio album, 'Following My Intuition', which was released on September 30, 2016. It debuted number one on the UK Album Charts and it was his first number one album since the 2000 release of 'Born To Do It'. In January of 2018, he released his 7th studio album 'The Time is Now' which featured singles, 'Heartline' and 'I Know' ft. Bastille, this album debuted at number 2 on the UK album Charts. With his 8th studio album, released on May 13, 2022, Craig David FINALLY came back to the states with his 7 Days Commitment Tour.
On Wednesday, May 15, 2024, my husband and I took a day trip to Philly to live out my teenage dream of seeing Craig David live. Now my husband doesn't or should I say, didn't listen to Craig David, so just like the last show, I wasn't sure what to expect. The line to get in was a breeze so I assumed it wouldn't be many people, however once you go upstairs you were instantly greeted by a large crod all waiting to see Craig David. We got our drinks, found a great spot and waited. The opener for David was a DJ which is always a vibe to get the party started, however, we were all antsy and impatient, you could tell. There were several instances when I took a moment to look around the room and scope out the crowd. It was so diverse and growing by the minute! I was pleasantly surprised to see so many men there and not just with their girlfriends or wives, but by themselves or with a homeboy. I mean music is universal, I just truly didn't expect to see the crowd that I saw, I absolutely loved it!
I would love to tell you that I have great footage that did not include my singing at the top of my lungs, but that would be a lie lol. At 9 pm. Craig David finally hit the stage with his hit song 'What's Your Flava' (personally, I do not like this song, but in this environment I pretended lol) He did all the classics from his 'Born To Do It' album. Songs like, 'Walking Away', ' 7 Days' and my personal favorite 'Rendevous'! He also did a some newer songs such as the ones mentioned prior, the 'Fill Me In' remix and 'Got It Good'. He also performed UK versions of his songs which were a vibe! Listen even if you aren't a fan fan, if you want to have a good time and just party for a few hours, a Craig David show is a must! I danced the entire night! My husband even enjoyed himself and he's not a dancer but shorty was moving lol I saw him! The crowd was amazing and so was Craig David. I also have to shoutout his amazing and talented band and background vocalist...WOW.
Unfortunately the last show for the US tour was on Thursday, May 16th in DC, however, he is going on tour again in 2025 for 7 more days in the UK...I know I know who the hell is going across the pond to see Craig David, listen...make it an adventure ok! Take a vacation trust me the concert will be worth it!! For tour dates follow him on IG: https://www.instagram.com/craigdavid/?hl=en
