Warning: This review was written by a Craig David stan!
First let me say that I am a Craig David fan. You might even be able to say I'm a Stan for his music. I have been since the first time I heard 7 Days on Born To Do It. Because of my Stan status, you can rightfully assume that I am biased. Now that the disclaimer is out of the way; this is my very favorite Craig David album. If you listen to BTDI and then listen to this one, you can see just how much he has matured as a singer. He has always had one of the best voices around (remember, I'm a Stan) but I think he truly shines when he's taking chances and singing music that you would never expect him to sing. Now don't get me wrong, Top of the Hill, is the worst song I have heard from him ever. It's one of the worst songs I have ever heard period. Yet, the album shines with every other track. Unbelievable and Awkward are stand-outs for me. I have heard people say that they like BTDI, but that he changed his style on subsequent albums, and they just don't like his music anymore. That is very understandable becuase his music has matured since 2001. IMHO, if you like good music, pick this one up. You can get it used for $2.47 which would be a steal even if it was a Taylor Hicks album (well, maybe I shouldn't push it that far).

Wow...not too good
I really wanted to love this album. I love every CD that Craig David has made. "Trust Me", however, is the exception. Craig David's music is usually very melodic..the perfect mix of R&B and pop. He really missed the mark this time around. Don't get me wrong, every song isn't horrible. But most songs lack melodic appeal. They are nondescript and not memorable. The only ray of sunlight on this whole album is "Officially Yours", which seems closest to what Craig David has done in the past. I understand that artists should grow and change from album to album, but the change should be an improvement. Hopefully, he'll do better next time. I'm a disappointed fan for the first time.

Weak.
What happened to the effortless flow and smooth beats of CD's first two albums? He seems to be forcing the energy in this album. It isn't working. And the single has a sample that's been used over and over again in the last ten years. How about some originality or at least an original sample. Weak.

Trust Me
How the hell are you going to ask me to trust you and then come out with this? Can you fill me in on where your career went? I use to do chicks to Born to Do it. I wouldn't admit to chicks that I own this CD. Craig, you owe me one.

Awesome release from Craig David
R&B singer Craig David has released his fourth CD "Trust Me." The album is available in the United States, which is a plus for fans of the international singer. The U.K. singer is best known in the U.S. for his hits "Fill Me In," and "7 Days" from his early release "Born To Do It." "Trust Me," is a funky collection of eleven songs. The first single from the album, "Hot Stuff," is an up-tempo dance track that borrows a sample from the David Bowie classic "Let's Dance." "Friday Night" is a great funky R&B flavored song.

The U.K. second single, "6 of 1 Thing," is a really awesome song. The vocals are really good and the music is far different than anything Craig David has ever released. It's guaranteed to spawn re-mixes and it's a great dance song. "Awkward" is a mellow laid back soulful track. It's one of the stand out songs on the album. "Just A Reminder" is a smooth R&B album track. "Officially Yours" is a beautiful song. It's one of Craig David's most memorable ballads. It's really a great song. It was the third single released from the album in the U.K.

"Kinda Girl for Me," is a mid-tempo song that borrows from a classic sample. It's a nice summer time type of song. "She's on Fire," is one of the hottest songs on the album. It's crazy funky. Craig David really did a great job on this song and his fans will be pleased. "Don't Play With Our Love," is a crazy dance track. Craig David's vocals are on point and the music is fantastic. Performed with a live band, "Don't Play With Our Love," is another stand out track on the album.

"Top of the Hill," is a slow song. It's not quite a ballad. It's kind of melancholy in nature, it's storytelling in nature reminiscent of the song "Johnny," from his third album "The Story Goes..." The album ends with the song "This Is The Girl," featuring U.K R&B artist Kano. This fast tempo song is a great way to end the album.

Craig David fans will really be pleased with "Trust Me." The album displays Craig David's growth as an artist as he delves more into his own unique style of R&B. "Trust Me," is not the kind of album that will put you to sleep. The up-tempo songs stand out and there are few ballads on the album. Craig David fans will enjoy "Trust Me."
