Craig David
“One of our classiest homegrown
chart regulars… This is the record that recaptures
what a fresh, flexible and resourceful performer Craig is”
– The Mirror
“His coming of age”
– The Independent
“His best since Born To
Do It” – The Sun
Part recorded in Havana, Cuba with producer Martin Terefe
(KT Tunstall, James Morrison) and writer/producer/mixer
Fraser T. Smith (Kano, Beyonce, Plan B, Jamelia), ‘Trust
Me’ finds Craig David pursuing a more soulful approach,
with a looser live band style than on his previous albums.
Other highlights include the ballad ‘Awkward’
(featuring guest vocals from unknown 17 year old Rita Ora
from west London) that offers some of his most evocative
lyrics to date, the infectious hook and insistent rhythms
of 'Don’t Play With Our Love', and ‘She’s
On Fire’ which combines sublime bass with Craig’s
fluid lyrical flow.
Heralded as his finest work since
breaking through with his debut album ‘Born To Do
It’, ‘Trust Me’ features the hit singles
‘Hot Stuff (Let’s Dance)’ and ‘6
of 1 Thing’. Craig David’s next single, ‘Officially
Yours’, will be released on May 12th.
A multiple-award winner who has earned
three Ivor Novello Awards (including Songwriter of the Year
and Best Contemporary Song), four MOBOs (one of which was
for Best UK Act) and two MTV Europe Awards, Craig David
has worked with a talented array of artists including Sting
and Artful Dodger’s Mark Hill and Pete Devereux. Craig
David also recently featured on Kano’s Top 20 single
‘This is The Girl’, a track that he also produced
and co-wrote.
