(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?'"
