Following My Intuition

Following My Intuition marks the significant commercial and critical 'renaissance' of Craig David, arriving sixteen years after his debut. The album's genesis is rooted in the TS5 DJ sets David hosted in Miami, which eventually led to a viral 1Xtra appearance where he performed over Jack Ü's 'Where Are Ü Now.' This intersection of classic UK Garage sensibility and modern EDM production defines the record's sonic identity. Featuring collaborations with Big Narstie, Sigala, and Kaytranada, the album successfully modernized David's sound for a new generation while satisfying long-term fans. It debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, a feat he hadn't achieved since 2000. Critics noted the album's ability to balance high-energy dance tracks with the 'honeyed ballads' that established his career, synthesizing a decade of electronic music trends into a cohesive pop-R&B statement.
