Craig David: Born to Do it, But Can He Do it Well?

by speeddemon531 speeddemon531 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Music, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Aug 18 '02
Pros: Some hot danceable tracks & one excellent ballad, "Walking Away".
Cons: Production-by-numbers. Some of the songs kinda blur together.
British soul singer Craig David has been touted by many as "the next best thing, although the road to success is lined with U.K soul casualties (Soul II Soul? Mark Morrison? The Chimes?). This is probably because the kind of music he makes is...

Craig's Great Voice Isn't Necessarily A Key To A Great All Around Record

by insomniac1587 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 07 '04
Pros: natural r&b, comforting presence, versatile performer
Cons: this is a Craig David exclusive, absurd at times, thinks he's smoother than he is
Male hip hop/r&b is the genre that has the most unnecessary bravado in all of music, in my opinion. It seems that everytime I turn around, I hear some random guy bragging about his prowess with the ladies (and other things that go along with it), his ...

Friends Don't Let Friends BUY Craig David

by cletta1201 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Feb 20 '02
Pros: 6 GOOD songs
Cons: the rest
I had so many high hopes for this album. Even after American radio and TV spoiled it for me by playing Fill Me In every 15 minutes for like 6 months. I thought to myself, that if the lead single were this good, there was bound to be plenty of...

Craig David: Another Guilty Pleasure

by STPezatcha , Jul 19 '01
Pros: Soulful Sounds, Great R&B Beats, Super Lyrics...Not a Dull Moment
Cons: The Cover Art...I never seen this guy in public without headphones on


I’m not one to go out and buy R&B albums (judging from my previous reviews)…but after hearing the single “Fill me in” played to the bone on local radio stations, I felt very confident in actually buying this CD. Another thing that caught my...

Craig's Born To Do It, And He Does It Well

by broomqueesha Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 09 '03
Pros: The whole album is like a dance party with depth.
Cons: "Craig David, it's another one." WTF???
The Main Idea: Following massive success in Europe, British two-step sensation Craig David released his debut album, Born To Do It, in the United States in 2001. The album is mostly a combination of soulful R&B and UK garage music that is ...

The Booty Man has really got it Going On...

by ekayb , Jan 29 '02
Pros: Craig's voice. Craig's lyrics.
Cons: The "here's another one, Craig David's"
When I first heard the first single “Fill Me In”, I was an instant Craig David fan. I just had to have the album! However, I am always bad about buying a whole CD for just one song so I made myself hold out until I heard the next single, “7 days”. After...

Future For the UK looks Great When Craig David Is the Lead

by kuuleimomi Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 20 '01
Pros: Wonderful voice, great soul music, nice R&B sound and arrangements
Cons: some rap; I've no idea why I missed this album upon its release in Europe
"Well, my dear boy, d'you ask a fish how it swims? D'you ask a bird how it flies? No siree, you don't, they do it because they were born to do it.” Don’t ask how Craig David sings [probably he was born to do it]. Maybe you’ve heard that this...

Craig David Born to Do It - Album of the Year?

by SirMontego Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 18 '01
Pros: Fresh, smooth, danceable, and fun
Cons: Where was he this whole time? Come to America!!
Never before has America been denied such melodies grooves, heartfelt lyrics, and spine tingling glory as those wickedly flaunted by Craig David. Long hailed as the UK’s R& B sensation, David’s latest Album “Born to Do it” hits American stores July 31,...

Born to sing his heart out

by smile2k1 , Jul 28 '01
Pros: Soulful, smooth and polished to perfection.
Cons: Too much name-checking - and he gives guys an inferiority complex
I have been longing to write an epinion on this album for ages. After all, it’s been sitting in my CD rack (or more usually my CD player) for nearly a year! This is because I am lucky enough to be British, like Craig himself, and have had a headstart on...

Craig David Dissected

by PlayHosea , Aug 16 '01
Pros: Strong Hooks, Multi-Talented Vocalist, Well-produced
Cons: Somewhat Immature, Not Groundbreaking Material
How many words can you spit out in 5 secs? My bet is that Craig David can sing more. A smooth, yet fast rap/r&b delivery is what the British sensation wants to establish as his trademark. What will make or break this album(in terms of sales),is if...

PERFECTION!

by CaliGoddess , Jul 25 '01
Pros: Every single aspect of the CD...the vocals, the lyrics and his amazing music!
Cons: Not a single thing!
It has been a long wait for those of us here in the United States, but British singer Craig David's Born To Do It finally hit stores, and believe me...it was worth the wait. I can honestly say I cannot remember the last time I heard a CD that impressed...

He Is The Future

by blackstar12 , Jul 15 '01
Pros: All Great Songs
Cons: Not Available In US
Craig David...This guy is the greatest!!! No words can describe how good he sounds. The first time I ever saw him was when he performed "Fill Me In" on BET's 106th & Park. He sounded pretty good, but I didn't think of buying the album considering the...

Good voice, good single, bad album!

by Angel56 , Jan 15 '02
Pros: This man has a wonderful voice an a good music video presence.
Cons: He has only about two good songs...
Sometimes I wish that Napster were still available for free. I agreed with the record companies when they complained that they were not getting the recognition they deserved. But I hate it when I get a CD and there are only one or two songs that I feel...

Was he Born To Do It?

by clydoscope , Dec 16 '01
Pros: smooth, seductive, pop R&B
Cons: too sappy, sugary and not memorable
Just out of his teens, 20 year young Briton Craig David made a splash in the R&B scene with a bunch of radio friendly songs and smooth ballads.
In Born To Do It Craig displays his talent for bridging the gap between traditional R&B and pop ballads....
