*We spoke to Craig David about his return to music after a two-year hiatus with his new single, “In Your Hands.” This deeply emotional and optimistic track combines elements of pop, folk, and gospel, offering a message of hope and love amid current events. Watch the visuals for the song via the YouTube below.
In our exclusive with the superstar, we also discussed his upcoming Commitment UK Arena Tour and what fans can anticipate from his forthcoming album. Craig shared that his new release was inspired by reflecting on his youth and early experiences in the music industry.
“When I was in the studio, and I never really overthink it when I’m in the studio, so I’m just like recording and vibing. I hear a little guitar riff, and I’m in. The melodies are flowing, and I just have to step aside and just make sure we capture them. But there was something about creating this, the context of going back and speaking to my younger self,” the singer explained.
“If I could go back and speak to the kid that was writing Born To Do It, what would I say? What would be that moment?… I’d like to observe and watch this creation happening,” he added.
“To see that, and to see the passion and excitement as a young kid growing up, just to bottle that up and continue it all the way through where you are right now. I felt like that was a real important message for everyone to be able to tap into that in a child, and to recognize how innocent and beautiful and sweet and charming and creative and incredibly intelligent the heart space is in guiding us,” David continued.
“The chorus is such a well-known chorus that when I finished recording this song, I didn’t have that chorus. It was only as I was walking out of the studio that I started humming the melody to In Your Hands. I ran back in, and I just said to Mike, the producer, I said, I don’t know about this, Mike, but this is coming through. I haven’t sung this song for years. And he’s just like, bro, that sounds like the one. Let’s just cut the vocal, and we’ll live with it,” Craig shared.
“It felt like it gave a song that means so much to so many people, a new lease on life. I’m so grateful I did because the response has been phenomenal.”
