Craig David has come a long way since he first burst on the scene with ‘Rewind’ back in 1999 – several albums, and dozens of singles over the decade that followed came and went with varying results, but for a new decade he’s good back-to-basics, sampling a Motown standard (The Four Tops’ ‘Standing In The Shadows Of Love’) that will appeal as much to listeners of Radio 2 as it will Radio 1. In other words your mum and gran will probably like it as much as you! Seamus Haji & Paul Emanuel deliver one of their best mixes yet, while Bobby & Steve go even deeper with an equally special soulful house recreation. A taster from the singer’s upcoming opus, ‘Signed Sealed Delivered’ that gives a multitude of Motown classics from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and The Temptations a modern twist. Well it worked for Rod Stewart giving the aging rocker a whole new lease of life… told you this was a multi-generation release.
