A very timely reaction ⏲ 🗓⏳! 7 Days was released as the second single from Craig David' 2000 album: Born To Do It. It was written by Craig David, Mark Hill and Darren Hill. It was produced by Mark Hill. The song reached #1 on the R&B chart, #1 on the UK Singles chart and #10 on the Hot 100. The music video was directed by Max Giwa and Dania Pasquini. The female in the music video, who was also in his: Fill Me In, music video, has never been identified even though Complex Magazine tried to ID her a few years ago. The issue of promoting interracial romance in England is part of the given reason behind her identity not being revealed, per Complex Magazine. Craig David is from England. Craig David Info 📰: Craig David was born on May 5, 1981 in Southampton, Hampshire, England. He is a singer and songwriter. His father is Afro-Grenadian and his mother is Anglo-Jewish and she's related to the founders of the Accurist watch-making company; Craig David's maternal grandfather was an Orthodox Jew and his maternal grandmother a convert to Judaism. His parents separated when he was eight and he was brought up by his mother. He attended Bellemoor School and Southampton City College where he was was bullied by other students at school. He wrote and released the song: "Johnny", in 2005 about his memories of being bullied. His father, George David, played bass in a reggae band called "Ebony Rockers". As a teen, he began accompanying his father to local dance clubs, where DJs let him take the microphone. The song: "Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta)", from the Artful Dodger album: It's All About the Stragglers, hit number two on the UK charts in 1999; thus, paving the way for Craig David's solo career. His first single: "Fill Me In", released on Wildstar Records, topped the UK chart and was the first of a string of four top 10 singles from his debut album: Born To Do It, which eventually sold more than 8 million copies worldwide, earning multi-platinum status in more than 20 countries. The song: "Key to My Heart", taken from the US version of the album, was also featured in the award-winning Warner Bros 2001 animated film: Osmosis Jones. Craig David's debut studio album: Born To Do It, was released in 2000, after which he has released a further five studio albums and worked with a variety of artists such as Sting, Tinchy Stryder, Big Narstie, Kano and Jay Sean. David has 20 UK top 40 singles, and seven UK top 40 albums, selling over 15 million records worldwide as a solo artist. Craig David has been nominated for fourteen Brit Awards: five times for Best British Male, and twice receiving a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. On September 9, 2020 Craig David signed a global publishing deal with New York-based Round Hill Music. The agreement includes all of his music catalogue to date, and also includes a futures agreement that will see all of his new music administered by the company. On December 30, 2020 it was announced that in the Queen's New Year Honours List Craig David had been appointed as MBE in recognition of his services to music. His manager Colin Lester was also appointed OBE in recognition of his services to the music industry and to charity. Craig David received his award at Windsor Castle on December 15, 2021. On October 6, 2022, Craig David released his first book titled: What's Your Vibe?, upon announcing the book he stated: "For the past 2 years, I've been working on this book which isn't your typical memoir or self-help manual, but more of a place to share some of the lessons I've learnt over the years that have helped me navigate day to day life". Craig David still performs his music live on stage in 2023. Craig David Caricature on Bo' Selecta! 📺: Craig David was frequently caricatured by comedian Leigh Francis on the British TV comedy show: Bo' Selecta!, the show's title itself being a reference to his song "Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta)". Although many other celebrities lampooned in the series appreciated the jokes and even appeared in the series themselves, Craig David-the series' most prominently mocked target-did not enjoy the attention, remarking that the public were no longer taking him seriously. Speaking to The Sunday Times in 2007, he said that: "The whole Bo' Selecta! thing was killing me for a while because this idiot had a cult following and I was the main caricature. ... Inside it was absolutely pissing me off and hurtful beyond belief. There were times when I thought I just want to knock this guy out". Although he made an appearance himself on the program (as the pseudo-fictional tribute act "Craig Davis"), he later regretted it. However, he has also denied that his career had been ruined as a result of the show, and has said that he was satisfied with his musical output over the years. In a 2015 interview with the Daily Mirror, Craig David stated that he had no hard feelings towards Leigh Francis, explaining how he had seen him at a wedding and given him a hug, assuring him they were "cool". He further explained in the interview that it was his PR team who suggested that he "play hurt" by the caricature. He reiterated this stance on The Jonathan Ross Show in 2016 and explained that, contrary to popular belief, he had not fled the UK to escape negative attention brought about from the show. In June 2020, Leigh Francis apologized for his portrayal of Craig David (among other black and mixed race celebrities such as Michael Jackson, Mel B and Trisha Goddard) in the show as a response to the Black Lives Matter movement and George Floyd protests, stating that: "I want to say sorry for any upset I caused whether I was Michael Jackson, Craig David or Trisha Goddard... all people who I am a big fan of". The television show: Bo' Selecta!, was removed from the video on demand service "All 4" later that same month for similar reasons. Craig David raised the topic again in October 2022. "Every sketch felt personal", he told The Times. "It felt like a vendetta and when it got a following, it became something that affected me. People would shout at me on the street and I felt the same feeling I had when I was bullied at school. Leigh Francis had normalized bullying by making it comedy. When he put blackface on, that was being racist. We can all apologize when on the back foot. Has he reached out to any of the people he did on his show? He hasn't reached out to me. Has he gone to communities to talk about bullying? Racism? And to be educated? You can only ask him".

Maybe it's the 1990 born British in me, but Craig David's so much better than Drake.
