2:34
and people will got receipts yeah people know me for this yeah because I just love it
2:38
yeah because getting these multiple bars giving them out because Born to Do It
2:44
the title of that came from the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory there's a part
2:48
where the kid runs into the candy shop and he asks the candy man how does he do it the candy man says
2:52
my dear boy do you ask a fish how it swims he says no do you ask a bird how it flies no
2:56
no siree you don't they do it because they were born to do it boom that was the title
3:01
that's where it all came from so this whole giving out chocolate bars
3:04
I can't get into it. I've never done what's wrong with it. Seeing adults go back into that child
3:09
like, oh my God, I'm in the tuck shop, I'm back in there, like... Why is it so hard to get into
3:13
You get that little something in there. This is the mystique of it, isn't it? Right, I'm going in
3:17
Trust me. So hang on, so if you come across Craig David, he might be giving out chocolate bar
3:21
It's like the Pied Piper. Do you know what it is? It's so chewy. Yeah, let it..
3:26
Give it a moment. Now you've got the space dust. Do you know, I've never had one of those in my life
3:30
Okay. They are delicious. I prefer a fruit. I like a kind of nut rather than a raisin in my..
3:36
Not a fruit nut, just a nut. Oh, just a nut. Well, Craig, I would just like... Whole nut things. Whole nut
3:42
I'd like to say thank you. I would say exactly the same thing. I like them. It's such a pleasure for bringing that in
3:46
Thank you so much. Can we move away from chocolate and onto your new album
3:50
Ninth studio album. Ah, ninth. Commitment. Talk to us about the name of the album
3:54
and what this album means to you. 16th of August is when the 25th anniversary of Born to Do It is
3:59
it's like and we didn't plan for that it's just like it just landed at a place that and
4:04
making this album has given me the same joy as making that first album it's got songs on there
4:09
that feel like they could have been on born to do it without even trying to like trying to force
4:14
things and i think the sentiment of the title commitment is just is i just committed to i want people just to enjoy life yeah life can be heavy in a myriad of ways So if it making music that touches your heart gives you a memory
4:27
if it's giving out chocolate and just gives a, just throws the conversation left for a moment
4:32
before we get back into our, this is what we do thing. Amen. I just love it
4:36
It's just anything, just to upset the uppercut a bit and give you a memory. Nick's texted in saying
4:41
Craig, would you ever play Stewart's Park in Middlesbrough? Postcode TS5. Jeez
4:46
Oh, hold on. Hold on a minute. I mean, Jackie brought out of chocolates earlier
4:52
He's over there. Just send him a little DM. Put it together. TS5
4:57
Because, of course, for those of you who don't know, is the DJ arm of my performances that I do
5:02
which used to be the name of my apartment in Miami. That's where it all started, right
5:06
The name came when I moved to Miami. I was throwing these house parties in. There was a tower suite level I was in
5:11
of the apartment block I was in. It was called Tower Suite 5
5:15
everyone would use the abbreviation of we're coming to the TS5 tonight for a little house party
5:19
boom next thing it became TS1 yeah next thing you know I mean I remember like doing Glastonbury
5:24
that was wild has it gone from a house party to like nearly 100,000 people at Glastonbury going
5:29
off to like rewind and jump around and I'm thinking this said a lot I'm talking to Glastonbury I saw
5:34
the headlines this morning I saw the headlines this morning saying you would be up for doing
5:38
Glastonbury again oh of course it's the best isn't it yeah and I think that's what's it's so special
5:43
especially to the UK that people come here some people go Coachella and they go to
5:47
all these different events we have our Glastonbury come through here is a thing
5:51
that you and Zoe have in common because Zoe's a DJ like a proper DJ
5:56
so the two of you know how to put on a show
6:00
for a crowd you know what works what doesn't work yeah what about where do you stand
6:04
on mashups the two of you is there something you would do in your set would you do like
6:08
a kind of I'd probably do a mashup I'd probably do a mashup yeah when you put one
6:12
when you put two songs together and it creates absolute beauty. You're the king of doing the mashups
6:17
aren't you? I do like mashups. I like the juxtaposition of something that
6:21
maybe shouldn't necessarily work. And then seeing the crowd's reaction as well when you nail it
6:25
You put it over something that makes it work. Yes. Can I then I been doing a little bit of work on a couple of my own mashups Okay Will you just give me a So pop your headphones on I just wanted to see what you make of these Like you say you know when two things that shouldn work
6:38
and maybe they do work. So, for instance, if we had put a bit of Crazy and Love on, right
6:44
You're already good. Already started. Look at him going there. Come together by the Beatles
6:51
Good, man. Do you like that? I like that. I'll give that an eight at ten
6:58
It's a good man. No, I don't really like that. Okay, really cool
7:03
So what about this? Obviously. Oasis, yeah. Oasis, Wonderwall. But would it work with this, I wonder
7:11
Are you sure you're not the DJ in the room? No, no, no
7:15
It's a great mash-up, this. Do you like that? Yeah, I love it. Imagine this. TS5, you put this on, right? Right
7:21
Is this... Guess what this is? One, two, three, four, five. Mambo No. 5, Lou Baker, but with..
7:27
His palms are sweaty, knees weak. Eminem. Eminem. Oh my God. Even if he moves his fingers themselves
7:37
Now that, it's more of a kids party one this one? Yes
7:42
How dare you? It's not TS5 level. That is special, isn't it? Just for Eminem
7:46
I think he would just be like the other way around. That'd be interesting
7:51
You know what I mean? Man by number five, over the top of the Eminem instrumental. I'm not sure just do a flip
7:54
That would take you into festival world. this will take you into eight year old kids party
7:59
Or, what if you started with this? Justin Timberlake. Cry Me A River
8:06
Is that how you're moving, Jamie? Are you that guy today? Is that guy every day
8:11
Do I get your blessing? Yeah, you got my blessing. Oh, this is great
8:22
Oh, that's what we're talking about. Can you feel the bounce? I love that
8:26
I love that. Craig's new album Commitment is out tomorrow thank you so much for coming in
