In a statement about The Time Is Now, Craig David said: “This album is me going back to those days of simple story telling and waving the flag for UK R&B.  It is for all of you that have been with me since those days, everyone that’s joined along the way and is here NOW. I want to say thank you so much (yes YOU!) for being so loving and supportive of me on this musical journey we're on! I am eternally grateful!
