Craig David releases new single ‘Heartline’ and announces new album

Craig David has dropped his new single ‘Heartline‘ and announced new album details.

Heartline‘ is the first single taken from his upcoming seventh studio album, The Time Is Now. The new record is set for release in January 2018 and will feature a number of collaborations including Bastille, JP Cooper, Kaytranada, and AJ Cooper.

The new single follows the garage icon’s comeback record, ‘Following My Intuition‘, in 2016 which became his first number one album since 2002. Listen to ‘Heartline‘ below.

Speaking about his huge success from the last years, Craig said: “If the last few years have taught me anything, it’s that life can change in a moment and you’ve gotta make the most it! Just in the same way my life was flipped upside down all those years ago, I’m genuinely so grateful to be standing here today doing what I love the most.”

By doing the simple things that enrich my heart, I’ve found the same magic that got me into making music as a kid.The motivation and inspiration behind this album was all down to the huge realisation that even when I wasn’t as focused, there were amazing lessons to be learnt.”

Craig David will kick off a UK tour later this year with stops at the O2 Academy Brixton (3rd November), Manchester’s Warehouse Project (4th November), and O2 Academy Birmingham (5th November).
