Album Description
Available in:
Trust Me is the fourth album by UK R&B artist Craig David. It was released on 12 November 2007 in the UK and 6 May, 2008 in the United States. While the album debuted at #18 on the UK Albums Chart, it failed to make any impact on the American charts, debuting outside the Billboard 200; it managed to peak, however, at #58 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
The album was recorded in Havana, Cuba with producer Martin Terefe (KT Tunstall, James Morrison) and writer/producer/mixer Fraser T Smith (Kano, Beyoncé Knowles, Plan B, Jamelia and James Morrison).
The first single "Hot Stuff" contains a sample of "Let's Dance" by David Bowie.
The second single "6 of 1 Thing" was released in the UK on 18 February 2008.
The third single "Officially Yours" was released in the UK on 23 June 2008, and peaked at #158.
The album was certified Gold by BPI on 7 March 2008 for sales of over 100,000.
User Album Review
Upon picking up the physical copy of the appallingly-titled, Trust Me, you immediately realise there’s something different about Craig David. He’s beefed up, lost that goatee and that hat and opted for a sharper suit. Frankly, he’s back and he looks the business.
Like a DJ dropping a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, Trust Me opens up with the floor-filling "Hot Stuff". David Bowie’s "Let’s Dance" has been tinkered with before, but this is its most ear-catching interpretation for sometime, proving that Craig is matching up his sharp image with an equally incisive sound.
The big band pop feel of "6 Of 1 Thing" and "Friday Night" continue to warm you up nicely before the album launches into its soft centre. "Officiallly Yours" is an cheesy instant chart pleaser while "Just A Reminder" possesses a breezy calypso feel, no doubt a flavour of studio time spent in Cuba. "Kinda Girl For Me" - feauturing a motown hook from The Stylistics' "You Are Everything" - also deserves plaudits; if only for the lyric: 'She’s so sick like a dope melody/ sitting nicely on top of the beat'. Make no mistake ladies, Craig's still got it going on.
Right on cue, Craig then builds towards a decent finale. The reggae-hip hop mash-up of "She's On Fire" demonstrates his ever-dextrous vocal ability, while his collaboration with Kano on "This Is The Girl" is clean UK hip hop fun, even though its role as the record's final track is confusing.
This album wouldn't be complete without a paragraph dedicated to the hugely impressive "Awkward". With a classic soul feel that hark backs to the Temptations era, slow-pop doesn’t come much better. Featuring the dazzling vocal talents of Rita Ora, a 17-year-old discovered by the album's producer Martin Terefe, "Awkward" is evocative and tender in a way that those familiar with Craig's garage days, wouldn't know existed.
The key to Trust Me's immediate appeal lies in the charming powers of David, who uses all eleven tracks to pull you in like a man possessed. It's as if he’s on the last date of his life, and he's not going to let this one go awry. 26 years-old and 13 million worldwide sales under his belt, Craig has matured into the real deal for a flagging UK R 'n' B scene. With an album that's a cert to be lavished with awards come 2008, it seems like Craig really was born to do it after all.
