Craig Lucas chats about new music, love, starting a foundation and doing a PhD

Kfm 94.5's Carl Wastie speaks to Craig Lucas bout new music, family, and giving back.

Listen below:

It's been a while, but Craig Lucas is back in the studio with Carl.

So, what's new with Craig?

He explains that this era in his life might be an 'identity crisis' and 'that's okay'.

"The more I've been able to be honest with myself, the happier I've been... and the more everything else made sense. It's about accepting where I am now... I don't have it all figured out, and I'm going through a bit of an identity crisis, and that's okay... we go from there rather than pretending that I know what I'm doing... it doesn't have to make sense just yet."

- Craig Lucas

Craig also started a foundation called The Warren and Arlene Foundation.

Some of the foundation's work, headed by Craig's mom, is in early childhood development.

This sphere of Craig's foundation is focused on offering support to early childhood development centres in communities by getting them registered and funding for kids who need it most, while providing learning materials and nutritional support.

Another aspect of Craig's foundation is around youth development and youth employability in underserved communities. It started as a clothing drive and grew into an opportunity that allows young people to shop for clothing to wear to interviews, get help from HR experts in making their curriculum vitae and open bank accounts while employees in corporate shared their insights on how to win during interviews. 

Craig also performed and encouraged other young aspiring artists to do so.

Onto music news... Craig's new song drops on Friday, 25 April 2025.

The song 'Love You For the Last Time' is the sequel to 'Falling in Love' and is available to stream everywhere.

"I am still toxic... I had a situation recently where there was someone I really liked, and the second they liked me back, I lost all interest in them... I seem to be drawn to people that are unavailable... and this song is just about that same person I wrote 'Falling in Love' about... So this song is just me saying, 'Look, I know this is not going to work. It's not worked before, but just give me one more, give me closure, give me something to just hold on to and we'll call it quits after that'..."
