Some artists begin their careers with a string of albums they can never equal. Many spend the rest of their discography attempting to figure out what made their debut album special. Unfortunately for Craig David, he peaked on the first song of his first album. This isn't to say the rest of David's output is bad, it's really just a testament to how amazing opener "Fill Me In" is. Craig David's vocal style is a quick rat-a-tat rap smoothed out on the R&B; tip...

Buy / Listen: 7Digital | Amazon | eMusic | We7 | Spotify When Kylie covered Little Eva's (or more specifically Goffin and King) -The Loco-motion' she struck gold and timed it brilliantly (thanks in no small part to the SAW team). The same cannot be said for Craig David...

In the United Kingdom, R&B; artist Craig David ranks among the country's top 100 richest people in music younger than age 30. However, in the United States, music fans barely blinked an eye at his fabulous 2001 debut, "Born to Do It," as well as two subsequent releases. That should change with "Trust Me," the 27-year-old British phenom's fourth collection since introducing the world to two-stepping...

I'll be the first to admit loathing the multi-platinum Craig David of old. I found his teen brand of two-step soul/pop on songs like the international hits "Fill Me In," "7 Days," and "Walking Away" cloying and calculated to a fault. But he was, essentially, a child then. Since then, Craig has certainly left behind childish things, releasing brilliant soul pop collections like Trust Me and fine tributes like his most recent deliverance, Signed, Sealed, Delivered...

If you're going to wait three years to release an EP, you should darn well make it better than the last one. Since Craig David's major debut in 2000, containing his best known hits like "7 Days" and "Rendezvous" and a subsequent in 2002, he's lost a lot of what made him (almost) an R&B; revolutionary. Gone are his signature garage beats and staccato delivery and in their place, dull hooks and unimaginative accounts of club hotties and petty jealousy...

Summary: A desperate karaoke LP which may sign, seal & deliver the end of a career. Even those at the front of the queue to mock Craig David are likely to feel a little sorry for the soulful English pop singer. After taking the world by storm with his commercially successful and critically acclaimed debut LP 'Born To Do It' in 2000, the man with the perfectly pruned facial hair has chosen - or been made - to make one wrong decision after another...

Strewth, has Craig David really been around that long that it's time for a Greatest Hits already? Time flies by these days, and the garage wunderkind turned smooth soulster is back with a compilation crammed with his greatest hits and a couple of newbies.Reading between the lines, now is the perfect time for David to take stock of his career. His last few singles haven't exactly rocked the charts and in these heady days at the end of the decade it is all too easy to become yesterday's star...

There's something about cracking America that often leaves an acrid tang hovering around the taste buds. Without a doubt, we were proud to witness Craig David achieving the undoable. Many had tried and failed before him, but here stood the corn-rowed, Southampton Boy Wonder, getting his back slapped by the American musical elite, in awe of his superb debut Born To Do It...

Upon picking up the physical copy of the appallingly-titled, Trust Me, you immediately realise there's something different about Craig David. He's beefed up, lost that goatee and that hat and opted for a sharper suit. Frankly, he's back and he looks the business. Like a DJ dropping a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, Trust Me opens up with the floor-filling "Hot Stuff"...
