Slicker Than Your Average

After waiting so long for Craig to return to these shores and release another album, I had begun to wonder whether he'd be able to top my expectations. After all, Born To Do It was an exceptionally good album.I needn't have worried. Craig David is on top form again. He's also managed to strike a delicate balance; he's not making more of the same, but he's not made a radical departure from his prior album. His basic style is the same, but with variances that give this album it's fine sheen. And the sheer quality of the songs is amazing. A collaboration with Sting gives it a nice selling point and an excellent song. The beautiful "You Don't Miss Your Water" is a beautiful ballad, "Spanish" has a wicked beat and some excellent lyrics, and "Slicker Than Your Average" really is.An excellent, excellent album.

This album shows progression from Born To Do It. The album has a fun side to it but still has a similar style of seeking some kind of affection on particular tracks like What's Your Flava, similar in perspective to Rendezvous on the first album. It is a great album but I'm yet to listen to his other albums to see whether they surpass the greatness of Born To Do It.

Lockdown has provided an opportunity to fill in any 'missing' albums from the CD collection. Not quitell sure how I missed this one! Not disappointed.

Great album!

Good collection of songs to listen to

All good

I bought this as I had lost a previous CD with "rise & fall" on it (a favourite). I loved this CD too.... some new tracks to me like "fast cars" & "hands up"..... Craig's usual brilliance!

Listen to it and love it! Great service.
