Advantages: Great songs, He has an ace voice
Disadvantages: some songs sound the smae
I got this as a present from my mum and didn't listen to it that much. Then I listened to it and wow! Craig David is everything. Lush, down to earth and a great singer.
His album has 12 ace tracks on it. They are all great but they seem to have the same sort of thing about them but then they are done by the same person so what do you expect? The songs include:
Track1: FILL ME IN: This is one of my favourites on the album and I'm sure that you have heard it. It is really soft but not boring. I think this is a background or candlelight dinner type of song. The basic storyline of the song if you get my meaning is that a guy(Craig David) and his next door naighboue get it together when her parents are out and how they try not to let the parents know. It sounds good atleast when you are listening to it. This track is 4 minutes and 17 seconds long. My rating of this is 9/10.
Track2: CAN'T BE MESSING 'ROUND: This has more of a lively beat then the last one and his words are more speede up then FILL ME IN. This isn't as well heard but I think it is vairly good. The song kind of flows off of your tongue if you know what I mean. Again though his voice is very soft and although this happens it seems like each word is different to the other even though it might have been used before. This tack is 3 minutes and 54 seconds long. My rating of this is 7/10.
Track3: RENDEZVOUS: Like track1 this is very slow and soft. This definetely isn't club music! This doesn't mean that it isn't a good track though. I know it sounds stupid but this song sounds even better in darkness. I kind of makes you think about anything your wan to think about. It carries on a bit but this doesn't spoil the song. I don't think it would sound as good if it didn't. This track is 4 minutes and 37 seconds long. My rating of this is 8/10.
Track4: 7 Days: This is my favourite one on the a
lbum. It has a good beat and isn't too slow and not to fast. It is also easy to learn the words and he sings this as good as anyone could. The chorus is also ace and the ending ends abruptly but not to abruptly. I have also seen the video for this song and it is great and he looks absolute lush in it. This track is 3 minutes and 55 seconds long. My rating of this is 10/10.
Track5: FOLLOW ME: This is quite a slow beat song and starts quite late to get to the words. The words are vairly good and the main ones are 'follow me follow me to my bathroom' which he says really nicely if you get my meaning. This song is very softly sung and makes you feel in a good mood. This track is 4 minutes and 1 second long. My rating of this track is 9/10.
Track6: LAST NIGHT: This song starts with him telling you all about a girl that he met the night before. Then it goes into a conbine of ryhms and soft and loud beats. Then he atrts the first verse. I like this song as it just flows and is easy to learn. The chorus is lush and sounds great. This is 4 minutes and 31 seconds long. My rating of this is 9/10.
Track7: WALKING AWAY: If you haven't heard this song then listen to it and then you can say you have. The basic words used are 'I'm walking away' and he sure is. It has a really nice beat and as with pratically all his songs it flows. This is 3 minutes and 24 seconds long. My rating is 9/10.
Track8: TIME TO PARTY: This has a faster beat and sounds alot different to all of his other songs as it has a different vibe to it. It is about Friday when the party comes. It is just him having a good time and having fun. All they way through it has the same fast beat which has others added to it throughout. This is 4 minutes and 5 seconds long. My rating of this is 8/10.
Track9: BOOTY MAN: This has a range of different sounds and starts with him just sayinf a few words for longer then if
you just singing normally. The basic thing is that the 'booty man can.' He has made it so that some of it rymes and some doesn't. This doesn't sound weird. This shows that he can range the note of his voice while still singing the same word. This is 3 minutes and 48 seconds long. My rating is 8/10.
Track10: ONCE IN A LIFETIME: This song is sang very slowly at the fist and then speeds up more as it gets further on. This song uses more of his voice then of background musci then the other songs on this album. This is an okay song but is definetely not one of my favourite ones. This is 3 minutes and 30 seconds long. My rating of this is 7/10.
Track11: YOU KNOW WHAT: This starts with him singing really softly 'yeah' and then he starts the song. This is a good song but it sounds a bit too much like another song of his but I'm not sure which one. "We were meant to be togther for eternity' is used alot in this song. As it rymes and flows it makes the song sound better. This is 3 minutes and 34 seconds long. My rating is 8/10.
Track12: REWIND: You must know this song. It is really good and even though it carries on a bit it goes well. This is unlike all his other songs as it is alot more beaty if you get me. It could be played in clubs were as his others aren't quite that fast enough beat. This is 5 minutes and 33 seconds long.
There you go all the songs on this ace album. If you listen to it carefully you will notice that I think Craig David ays his anem in every song. Altogether this is a great album and I would recomend buying it.
When I got the album it included a interveiw disc of Craig David and I'm not sure if that is still going. Every song has the words written on the inside of the case and there are also a few baby photos of him and at the back there is a very long list of people that he would like to thank.
I think the only thing
wrongs with this album is that the songs are mostly the smae but who cares as long as you like the songs then it doesn't matter. Buy this album it's very good. I rate this album 10/10.
I think this is a great album because he has a great singing voice, his songs are great and he doesn't think he is great although he is.
