Craig David - Slicker Than Your Average

The British r&b sensation has taken knocks for his smooth delivery and squeaky-clean image—which explains the defensive title track and its reminder of the singer’s commercial superiority (sales of seven million copies for last year’s Born to Do It). David also tries to show his toughness by flirting with hip-hop bravado and hard club beats on the album’s first few tracks. But it all proves to be so much posturing, as David quickly slides back into his smooth, squeaky-clean and, yes, ultra-slick, persona.
