Craig David chats to I Like Music


ILM: You recorded in Havana, Cuba with producer Martin Terefe (KT Tunstall, James Morrison) and writer/producer/mixer Fraser T. Smith (Kano, Beyonce, Plan B, Jamelia), what did you learn from these guys?

CRAIG: The main thing I took away from it was to be able to trade perfection for performance, to be in a situation to take yourself out of the comfort zone and the feeling that you could live with the record and go back and add something extra or, if you didn't like something you could change it. Whereas, being in Cuba for a period of time, knowing that the musicians were coming in, you had a day with them and it was like we had to nail this song today, before moving on to the next one, having that time constraint it really meant I had to step up my game and approach it as if I was performing it to a live audience, rather than feeling like I had all the time in the world and could come back to it.

So it gave a bit more urgency in my vocal. So I was really trying to sing rather than sitting back on it, which I may've done in the past because I had the freedom to do that.
