Album Review: Craig David, "Trust Me" (Reprise Records)
In the United Kingdom, R&B artist Craig Jacques Louis David [ tickets ] ranks among the country's top century richest people in music younger than years 30. However, in the United States, euphony fans barely blinked an eye at his fabulous 2001 debut, "Born to Do It," as well as deuce subsequent releases.That should variety with "Trust Me," the 27-year-old Brits phenom's twenty-five percent collection since introducing the humanity to two-stepping. Recorded in Cuban capital, Republic of Cuba, with producer Mary Martin Terefe (James IV James Douglas Morrison, KT Tunstall) and mixer/producer/writer Fraser T. Kate Smith (Beyonce, Jamelia), "Trust Me" opens with trine potential drop golf-club hits. St. David unleashes a clunk freshly spin on Jacques Louis David Bowie's "Let's Saltation" with "Hot Stuff (Let's Dance)," featuring his speedy vocals; meanwhile, every bit manic horns lace "6 of 1 Thing," and "Fri Night" is a musically moral force blue funk lead. Recording in Cuba proved to be inspirational, as shown on the Latin-fused "Don't Play With Our Passion." The legal age of the 11-song solicitation is shivering, still. "Awkward" starts off with David, harshly, repeating the word "awkward." Merely the meat of the song is institute in the Motown-like harmonies during the chorus. "Officially Yours" could make its path onto wedding playlists, "She's on Fire" is sultry, and "Don't Play With Our Making love" is a straight-up soul rack up in the making. Lyrically, Jacques Louis David doesn't stray far from his style of vocalizing about love, sexual urge and partying. On "Hot Stuff (Let's Dancing)," he describes an nonpareil woman he sees at a cabaret: "(Let's dance) become on the base no need to hold back/Sexy lash, mini, stilettos on, shakin' completely that (let's dance)." St. David compares his lover to a "pot melody" on "Kind of Girl for Me." The compendium overall is strong. Jacques Louis David may non get sold many albums in the United States, only his music is rich.
