David Morales & Tiger Wilson Release ‘CRAVIN’’
David Morales & Tiger Wilson Release ‘CRAVIN’’, a soulful house single rooted in New York’s gospel, R&B and club music tradition
Grammy Award-winning producer, DJ and House music pioneer David Morales teams up with New Jersey singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tiger Wilson on ‘CRAVIN’’, a new Soulful House release on DIRIDIM set for June 26, 2026. The single brings classic NYC-inspired grooves together with rich vocal soul and deep musicality rooted in gospel, R&B and House tradition. With Tiger Wilson’s expressive vocal delivery at the forefront, ‘CRAVIN’’ highlights the meeting point between David Morales’ long-standing production style and Tiger Wilson’s background as a vocalist, musician and songwriter connected to the New York House scene.
Inside David Morales And Tiger Wilson’s Soulful House Link Up
‘CRAVIN’’ centres on Tiger Wilson’s vocal delivery, giving the record its emotional pull through phrasing that carries clear gospel and R&B influence without moving away from its House foundation. As a New Jersey singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Tiger Wilson brings a musical background that fits naturally beside David Morales’ production, where the groove is classic and club-minded but still leaves space for the vocal to lead. The result reflects a meeting of House music craftsmanship across two generations, with David Morales’ production style and Tiger Wilson’s songwriting sensibility working through a shared language of soul, rhythm and musicianship.
Tiger Wilson’s connection to the New York House scene gives ‘CRAVIN’’ more context beyond the single itself. His work spans Soulful House, R&B and gospel-influenced music, with past collaborations involving David Morales and Timmy Regisford, alongside appearances on ‘In The Club’, ‘Masterpiece’ and ‘Burning Hot’, records that became staples at The Shelter in New York. That history places ‘CRAVIN’’ within a lineage of vocal House where the singer is not treated as decoration, but as a central part of the record’s identity, helping explain why the collaboration feels rooted in musical experience instead of surface-level genre references.
The Extended Mixes Of ‘CRAVIN’’ Give The Release More Club Range
‘CRAVIN’’ is presented across the ‘Loop Mix’, ‘Reprise Version’, ‘Loop Dub Mix’ and ‘Vocal Dub Mix’, giving the single more life beyond its main version without moving away from its Soulful House identity. For a record led by Tiger Wilson’s vocal performance, the extra mixes matter because they do not all need to treat the voice in the same way. The full vocal side can hold the song directly, while the dub and loop versions can pull more attention toward the groove, percussion and arrangement underneath David Morales’ production. That gives the release more use in club settings, especially for DJs who want the feel of the record without always playing it in its most vocal-focused form.
The ‘Reprise Version’ also adds another layer to the release because it makes room for the musicality connected to Tiger Wilson’s background as a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. That detail matters in the context of a Soulful House record because the genre depends on more than a vocal line sitting over a beat. It needs phrasing, rhythm, arrangement and feeling to work together without one part flattening the rest. The ‘Loop Mix’, ‘Loop Dub Mix’ and ‘Vocal Dub Mix’ help show how ‘CRAVIN’’ can move between those uses, giving David Morales space to work the record for club play while keeping Tiger Wilson’s contribution tied to the identity of the single.
The additional versions give ‘CRAVIN’’ a stronger club function by separating the vocal, rhythm and instrumental details across the release. The ‘Reprise Version’ places more attention on the musical side of the track, while the ‘Loop Mix’, ‘Loop Dub Mix’ and ‘Vocal Dub Mix’ give DJs versions that can work in different parts of a set. For a Soulful House release led by Tiger Wilson’s voice, that range matters because the song does not lose its character when the vocal is reduced, repeated or placed differently in the arrangement.
By closing the release with this wider set of versions, David Morales and Tiger Wilson keep ‘CRAVIN’’ connected to both songcraft and club use. The single carries the soul and gospel-rooted vocal identity introduced through Tiger Wilson, while David Morales’ production gives it the structure needed for the dancefloor. Released on DIRIDIM on June 26, 2026, ‘CRAVIN’’ brings its classic NYC-inspired grooves, rich vocal soul and House tradition into a format made to move beyond one listening moment.
