One of my best albums!!
Not only is Craig David extremely good looking LOL, this album is divine. I bought this album when it came out years ago, I was in highschool!! Great memories!! Feels like yesterday. There are alot of hit singles on this album --Fill Me In, Seven Days, Walking Away---, however the whole album has a fantastic R&B chill sound. He has the voice of an angel! I saw him live at a small theater too, and WOW!!!!! His voice is flawless, sexy, and soulful. I loved his last single "Insomnia" that came out months ago, but I'm dying for a new album!! Someone of his talent should keep making more music!.


GO CRAIG
D. I BOUGHT THIS C. OF COURSE WHRN IT CAME OUT IN 2001 AROUND THE TIME OF 911. IT WAS SOOTHING FOR ME AT THE TIME CONSIDERING THE CIRCUMSTANCES. BUT I FOUND MYSELF BREAKING IT OUT AGAIN RECENTLY BECAUSE I HEARD THE SONG AND IT REMINDED ME OF IT. SO ONCE AGAIN 8 YEARS LATER I'M PUMPING CRAIG AGAIN.


Music from 2001
. Craig David is a great artist and I think that it would be in everyone's interest to purchase this CD.


Simply Amazing!
Pathetic, huh? Well this cd is GREAT! Walking Away is the best song on this cd. Wow, this CD has been out since I was 11 years old and I'm just now listening to the whole thing. 7 Days and Fill Me In were popular when I was young and they are good too, but Walking Away is the best. I just heard Rendevouz for the first time and enjoyed it. I can't think of one flaw on this cd! I will defiently buy it sometime!.


Ear candy of the highest order


The production is even better. This album is so smooth it's nasty! First off, Craig has an amazing voice, then add to that extremely versatile vocals (first he sings, then he raps, then he'll blend into a rap singer) and you realize early that this a formidable young talent. Attempting to blend multiple genres of music (Hip-Hop, R&B, Garage, Club) is very difficult, and it's pulled off without a hitch. The use of instrumentation, namely the acoustic guitar, is used to devastating effect. Add to that the layered vocal arrangements which further enhance Craig's voice, and you have butter, period.

Three highlights of the album are "Can't Be Messing Around, "Follow Me", and "7 Days". "Can't" is a song where Craig does the vocal triathlon, gold medal style, and has a timeless theme to it. "Follow Me" is a straight deal closer. If you can't make it happen with this joint, forget about it. "7 Days" was the first song song that made me pay attention to this young cat. For all the hip-hop heads out there, two remixes were done, one featuring Fat Joe, and the other Mos Def produced by DJ Premier. Nice!

Now, some will say, all he does is talk about himself and his female escapades. Hey, if your thoughts were recorded when you were 19 years old, it would sound similar to this, so take it easy. Others will say, this isn't pure R&B (think 70's Soul). Well, I'm glad it's not. It's the evolution of roughly 50 years of music (starting with jazz) made on two continents. It really shouldn't sound like anything prior to.

I can see why many people thought he was going to be world music's next megastar. He's a mixed race, English spoken dude who can sing and dance. Everything about him is very accessible, so it's kinda odd to see that he never reached the stars.

Nonetheless, I give this product my endorsement.
