Craig David Offers Zayn Malik Second Hand Songs
Craig David has said that he might be so kind as to chuck Zayn Malik a couple of songs - but only if he’s rejected them first.

Say, what?
OK, allow us to Fill You In…
Craig - of former Bo Selecta fame - is believed to have some songs he wrote with BGT fitty Ed Drewett that he is keen to pass onto Zayn if he fancies them.
Don’t forget – Craig is a pretty big deal in the songwriting world since he ditched ol’ Blighty and moved on over to LA to live the dream.

Chatting to The Sun, Craig said: “We’ve written songs that if they don’t work for me, Ed [Drewett] will present them to Zayn. I’d love to write something with him because he’s talented, and he’s got a good voice.”
So basically, he’s only handing them over if they land in his reject pile.
However, this happens all the time in the music biz so really; it’s not as crap as it sounds.
In fact, Umbrella was a Christina Millian reject, and it certainly turned out alright for Rihanna, didn’t it?
And did ya know that Toxic by Britney Spears was nabbed from Kylie Minogue’s reject pile?
Nothing like some pop trivia to brighten up a Thursday afternoon, eh?
So if we were Zayn, we’d hang on to those tracks – a Craig David reject could be just the thing to jump start his solo career.
Failing that, maybe he could just cover Seven Days?
