International R&B sensation, Craig David, is here in Manila to stage a one-night concert tomorrow, March 27, at the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City.


The 27-year-old English singer-songwriter is responsible for the hits "Fill Me In," ‘Rewind," "7 Days," "Walking Away," "What's Your Flava," "Don't Love You No More (I'm Sorry)," ‘Rewind," "Rise & Fall," and "Hot Stuff," among others.


Sporting a pair of dark shades, Craig told the media—whom he met in a special press conference prepared by Warner Records at the E Bar of the Edsa Shangri-La hotel—how excited he is to finally perform in front of his adoring Filipino fans.


The concert, interestingly, coincides with the release of Craig David's Greatest Hits album, which is a collection of Craig's successful and well-loved hits taken from his four studio albums: Born To Do It (2000), Slicker Than Your Average (2002), The Story Goes (2005), and Trust Me (2007).

Craig expressed excitement and amusement with the timing of releasing a greatest hits album and embarking on a wide-scale world tour, saying that it freely allows him to play all the hits without letup.


In hindsight, and considering his still young career, the multi-awarded singer-songwriter is very proud of having a greatest hits record under his growing discography. And like other artists who found themselves dishing out a collection of popular materials, Craig thinks that his latest disc symbolizes the closing of a chapter and the unveiling of a more exciting future in his musical journey.


"I'm very blessed and privileged to still be here with a Greatest Hits. It's the catalyst, the means, to get to my fifth album," enthused the Southampton, Hampshire native.


A certified multi-awarded hit maker, Craig was a recipient of numerous awards, most notably three Ivor Novello Awards—the prestigious honor named after the popular Welsh singer-actor of the early 20th century given out annually to songwriters and arrangers.
