Craig David - Slicker Than Your Average
Review by Dawn Knox
Craig David's album Slicker Than Your Average is a captivating mix of R&B and garage music. The British singer-songwriter's sophomore album showcases his smooth vocals and impressive songwriting skills.
The album's lead single, "What's Your Flava?", is a catchy and upbeat track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. David's silky voice effortlessly glides over the track's infectious beat, making it impossible not to dance along.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Fast Cars", "Hidden Agenda", and "World Filled with Love". Each song displays David's versatility as an artist, seamlessly blending elements of different genres to create a unique sound that is all his own.
The album's production is also noteworthy, with a variety of producers contributing to the project, including Soulshock & Karlin, Mark Hill, and Darren Hill. The result is a cohesive album that flows seamlessly from one track to the next.

About Craig David
Born: May 5, 1981, Southampton, Hampshire, England
Soulful vocalist whose early releases were a defining factor in the UK garage sound. More recently he has been moving towards a standard RNB style.
David was born in Holyrood, Southampton, Hampshire, the son of Tina (née Loftus), a retail assistant at Superdrug, and George David, a carpenter. David's father is a Grenadian and David's mother is an English Jew related to the founders of the Accurist watch-making company; David's maternal grandfather was an Orthodox Jew and his maternal grandmother a convert to Judaism. David's parents separated when he was eight and he was raised by his mother. He attended Bellemoor School.
David's father played bass in a reggae band called Ebony Rockers. As a teen, David began accompanying his father to local dance clubs, where DJs let him take the microphone.
David's earliest exposure came when he worked on a b-side to British group Damage's cover of "Wonderful Tonight". He then started doing vocals for a few tracks with garage act Artful Dodger. The song "Re-Rewind

何年経っても色褪せないメロディ
Ay, mira hombre, por qué me tiras el poble sobre la cara, qué pendejo este, ay
(Yo, hit that)
[Chorus: Craig David & (Duke One)]
Would you like a drink with me?
If you don't mind, can I talk to you, if it's alright?
I want your body close to mine
All night, while we're dancin', in the moonlight
We could spend the night in ecstasy
Kissin', touchin', caressin'
You know that you don't have to leave, tonight
Saying, "Why didn't I go home with you tonight?" (Uh, yo)
[Verse 1: Craig David]
In fresh from outta town
Just breezed in so I thought I'd take a look around
And find a party where the vibe is right
I'm talkin' maybe meet a honey, take her home tonight
So, shades on, top's off the whip
Takin' in the sights as I cruise the strip
As I pull up to a red light
I see this pretty little shorty in my headlights
This girl looked half-black yet half-oriental
Man, this chick's got class and style
I'd like to ask her for her credentials
Name, address, numbers to dial
She plays tough when deep down, she's gentle
It ain't hard to read the signs
This girl bangs like Dre instrumentals
Well, here's an acapella of mine
[Chorus: Craig David]
(Girl) Would you like a drink with me?
If you don't mind, can I talk to you, if it's alright?
I want your body close to mine
All night, while we're dancin', in the moonlight
We could spend the night in ecstasy
Kissin', touchin', caressin'
You know that you don't have to leave, tonight
Saying, "Why didn't I go home with you tonight?"
[Verse 2: Craig David]
Scene two, all up in the club
Got my game tight, about to tear it up
Could be a night that I won't forget
Boy, I'm looking for a honey and I'm confident
I was dancin', but I had to stop
When I clocked this fly girl wearin' a halter top
She had her hair done, nails right
This señorita had a booty that was so tight
She was a, hot girl that looked continental
Damn, her body looked so fine (Looked so fine)
The way she spoke, I saw her potential
If looks could kill, then she'd do time (She'd do time)
I don't claim to speak perfect Spanish
But I do know a few lines (A few lines)
This female's slicker than your average
And I gotta make her mine
[Chorus: Craig David]
So, quieres beber conmigo?
(If you don't mind, can I talk to you, if it's alright?)
Quiero sentir tu cuerpo
(All night, while we're dancin', in the moonlight)
Haz el amor conmigo
(Kissin', touchin', caressin')
Ya no me dejes solo, tonight
(Saying, "Why didn't I go home with you tonight?")
[Bridge: Craig David & Duke One]
Yo, tonight I'm
From a distance admirin'
Girl, you're lookin' so vibrant
And I dig the way you move your body
Let's get out of this party
Maybe we can get naughty
Say 'bye-bye', girlfriends
'Cause just in
A minute, we'll be gone if we're in sync
(Yo, can we dance? Would you like a drink?)
[Verse 3: Duke One]
And some lovin'?
But leave your husband at home
Unless he wanna bump on a dome
Come along, rub alongside me
Put your phone on silence, just breathe
What you doin' is right, what I'm doin' is wrong
Only time I do right is when I'm doin' a song
So, expect ya ex to exit the area
Exterior, vex perplex by the sex
What ya drinkin'? Drinks on me
Find me on drink and a drink on me
You can ride next to me
Girl, it's ecstasy
Here's some'in' for ya ex to see
It's messed up
How I slide up your thigh with my right hand
You wanna ride all night then, I can
Don't be shy of just one one-night-stand
Now, let's go!
[Chorus: Craig David]
Would you like a drink with me?
If you don't mind, can I talk to you, if it's alright?
(If you don't mind) I want your body close to mine
All night, while we're dancin', in the moonlight
We could spend the night in ecstasy
Kissin', touchin', caressin'
You know that you don't have to leave, tonight
Saying, why didn't I go home with you tonight?
(So, would you like a drink with me?)
Would you like a drink with me?
If you don't mind, can I talk to you, if it's alright?
I want your body close to mine
All night, while we're dancin', in the moonlight
We could spend the night in ecstasy
Kissin', touchin', caressin' (Just you and me)
You know that you don't have to leave, tonight
Saying, "Why didn't I go home with you tonight?"
