...material, for this album.
Slicker than your Average can be purchased for £8.99 at CD Wow.
The title track, and fist track on the album sounds off with a backing echoing voice, with Craig’s voice over the top, before the main vocals are introduced. I am still not sure about this song despite listening to it many times. It is almost as if it was thrown together with no thought about the music. There is some scratching in the middle, but the ... ...Born to Do It, but Slicker is a bit of a disappointment overall, although there are some tracks that stand out from the rest such as “Rise and Fall” and “What’s your Flava?”
It was always going to be difficult to duplicate the success of the first album, and Craig really does seem to have taken 2 steps back, no pun intended. There is a mixture of songs on the album, some of which have already been released, but to be ...

Advantages: experimenting with different styles, a change from the first album, some clever lyrics Disadvantages: one or two weak songs
...with love 1. SLICKER THAN YOUR AVERAGE - this song begins immediately with a great lively sound. a repetitive piece of music plays in the background. great rhythm mid pace. with the title of this song it sounds a bit like he loves himself but he has a great sound. with this song he likes to experiment with his singing he does very high notes with his voice which he can easily reach then he goes deep but also keeps to his usual smooth sound. this ... ...your average which will be in your head all day. this could be a possible future single it has everything a single needs. this is a good song because in a way it is like his old sound but there is also something very new about it so he can't go wrong with it. this song tells a story it's about Craig facing a lot of criticism about how he wouldn't last and wouldn't do well but he sings about how he's on his second album and doing well. He is basically ...

Advantages: Phat beats, superb melodies and great vocals Disadvantages: One or two poor tracks
...an insult to say that Slicker Than Your Average doesn't live up to Born To Do It, but I sincerely believe it does.
Firstly I am going to look at the album track by track:
1. SLICKER THAN YOUR AVERAGE - Not the strongest track on the album but still a good song. The song is very American sounding and lacks a chorus but does have a great beat and superb chat. 8/10
2. WHATS YOUR FLAVA - The first single from the album. I believe releasing this as ... ...5 or 6 better tracks on the album. However the lyrics are great and although this song also lacks a gripping chorus, the verses are well structured. 8/10
3. FAST CARS - An another American sounding song but none the less a quality track. The chorus on this song is much better and the verses and hook don't disapoint. This combined with a great beat and a little Knightrider Theme make a strong track. 9/10
4. HIDDEN AGENDA - The second single to be ...

Advantages: Well- written songs, well-produced, lyrically masterful Disadvantages: Samey if you're not a big fan, a couple of weak links
...big worldwide.
Craig's second album Slicker than your average features some songs which are similar in production to the first, awesome guitar/ piano riffs with basic drums and bass such as the infectious "Hidden Agenda" and "You Don't Miss Your Water" but there is also a clear progression here. His time in America has been well spent it seems. Various tracks are very much influenced by the American R&B scene, much more heavily produced and bass ... ...+ 1 bonus

Advantages: Craig David is back... Disadvantages: ...and has become a crooner.
One of the most cruelest acts in music history has to be when Craig David was cheated out of several Brit awards in 2000 and this album, following the success of “Born To do it” is clearly a response to that. "Slicker Than Your Average" is Craig David’s second album after a break in which he took America by storm and turned down a record deal by a certain P. Diddy. Perhaps the music bosses should bite their tongues cause Craig’s clearly all over ... ..."What's Changed" are true to the "Walking away"/"7 days" formula but the album lacks a a couple of garage tunes. "Rise & Fall" featuring Sting will definitely stand as one of the albums highlights. Stings vocals compliment David's, combining the rough with the smooth groove.
Any hot young mama (like myself, if I do say so!) will find Craig’s latest offering a joy to listen to and try as you might I guarantee you will have to staple your feet to ...

Advantages: Another classic album from the singer with a sexy soulful voice. Disadvantages: Not long enough
With the success of his lastest single Rise and Fall featuring Sting, Craid David has once again proved to the British public that he is back, and back to stay. His album has sold even more copies since this release, and is an excellent album. Craig sings some beautiful soulful songs, which really melt your heart. In turn he also has some 2 step garage tracks to please all fans.
Highly recommended to people who love soulful R&B love songs, and hip ...

...Walking Away...BUT, now we get Slicker Than Your Average!
Here he has kept the strong RnB vibe and has recorded a track with Sting - although he said he wanted to make fame on his own without working with anyone! He unfortumately turned down tracks with Janet Jackson & J Lo because of his statement.
Well I do think has topped artists like Musiq Soulchild & Joe BUT this album doesn't top his last...
One of the best songs on the album is his first ...
