Sting guest vocal on new David Craig single
I saw this on Launch (3/17/03, 6 p.m. ET) -- British singer Craig David's next single from his sophomore album, Slicker Than Your Average, will be "Rise & Fall" featuring a guest vocal by Sting. David said that the track also includes a guitar-riff sample from Sting's 1993 song "Shape Of My Heart." "It was just amazing," David said, "kind of the way which it came about--working with Sting--because it was like I'd written the song, and I'd heard the guitar melody from 'Shape Of My Heart.' I loved it so much that I thought, 'How cool would it be to use that guitar melody' and use the top line and lyric that I'd done?'" David's sophomore Wildstar/Atlantic set was recently certified gold by the RIAA for sales of 500,000 copies. The album is the follow-up to his platinum 2001 debut, Born To Do It, which has now sold more than seven million copies worldwide. David said that he's very relieved now that his second album has been well received: "It's really nice just to kind of see me...especially having, like, a second album, and you never know how it's going to go. And for it to go gold in a place that's a million miles away from where I was first brought up is crazy, and to look around the world and see the album doing well is very flattering, so I'm real happy." Sting and David shot a video for "Rise & Fall" in London in February, and the track is expected to go to radio in May, according to a spokesperson from David's record label.
