Craig, who鈥檚 already had songs used on a couple of adverts, got a call out of the blue from America to say that the producers of Gossip Girl, the hit US series based on the novels by Cecily von Ziegesar, wanted to use his track, Today, as part of the show鈥檚 soundtrack.

The news came as something of a shock to the singer, who admits he wasn鈥檛 even sure how much of a big deal it was to begin with.

"I wasn鈥檛 sure if this was big news or not, but apparently its huge over there. When I found out it was by the same people who did The O.C. I realised that this is amazing!"

The Basement Sessions EP doesn鈥檛 include Today (that was on one of his older collections), but it does have five gems filled with his usual tender meanderings and, in a nod to the Yuletide season, a cover of Bing Crosby鈥檚 White Christmas hidden away at the end.

It鈥檚 a limited release so you鈥檒l have to move fast to get your hands on a copy. As for the Gossip Girl appearance, we鈥檒l just have to wait until it makes it way over to our shores.
