I love his sound! I like his whole "Born to do it" cd but I like all his music. I know you didn't ask, but here's some x-tra info onBiography and music career
David was born in Holyrood, Southampton, Hampshire, England to an Afro-Grenadian father and an English mother. He released his first US hit "Fill Me In" in May 2001. The song was an instant hit, reaching #15 on the Bilboard Hot 100 in the summer of 2001. Born To Do It was released on July 17,2001. It managed to peak #11 on the Billboard 200 then eventually reach platinum status. "7 Days" was the next single which went on radio in Novenber 2001. The song was a greater success than Fill Me In, peaking number #10 on the charts. The third and final single "Walking Away" wasn't as successful as the first two. It peaked number #44.
Slicker Than Your Average was the follow-up album and was released in 2002, and 6 singles were released from it. These were: "What's Your Flava?" (#8 in 2002), "Hidden Agenda" (#10 in 2003), "Rise & Fall" (featuring Sting and an acoustic guitar sample from the Sting song Shape of my Heart, #2 in 2003), "Spanish" ,(#8 in 2003), "World Filled With Love" (#15 in 2003), and "You Don't Miss Your Water ('Til The Well Runs Dry)" (#43 in 2004).
David's label, Telstar Records, ultimately went bankrupt; the blame was placed on them concentrating too much on marketing Victoria Beckham's musical output, which failed to achieve the success they had expected. He later signed on with Warner Music and his last album, The Story Goes..., proved to be a big success at Warner Music.
In 2005 he made his comeback with the single "All The Way" which hit the top 10. His third album The Story Goes... was released on 22 August 2005. A US release date has yet to be annonced. The album's second single "Don't Love You No More (I'm Sorry)" became his longest running single in the charts since his debut appearance on The Artful Dodger's "Rewind", spending 15 weeks inside the UK top 75. The album's third single, "Unbelievable", disappointingly charted at #18 on 6th March 2006. The fourth single to be lifted from The Story Goes... was going to be "Hypnotic" in a remixed version by the legendary producer DJ Premier, however this was recently cancelled.
Many critics and fans claim that Craig David's last album (The Story Goes...) gives more reflection about his personal life and feelings unlike his other albums. Today Craig David is perhaps the best selling R&B singer in Europe with already 20 million albums sold at the age of 25. What distinguishes Craig David from other hip-hop and R&B singers is that throughout his career he made consecutive colosal hits without other singers' assitance, that is he hardly ever featured singers on his albums except for the singles such as the "Rise and Fall" featuring Sting. This indeed increased respect towards the R&B star who can make hits without featuring other singers on his tracks.
Craig, however, is rumoured to be in Brandy's new album, collaborating with her and Diddy. This is of course still a rumour, but Brandy herself has said that she is willing to work with Craig David, as is Alicia Keys.

Trivia
The music video for "What's Your Flava?" is a parody of the children's movie classic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, where Craig sponsors a "lottery", four females discover "golden CD's" (similar to the "Golden Tickets" in the movie), during the tour, three of the four females misbehave and disappear from the tour (similar to the children, other than Charlie Bucket, in the movie), and Craig and the winner end the video in a glass elevator.
In Avid Merrion's Channel 4 Series Bo' Selecta, Craig was parodied as having a Leeds accent and a pet peregrine falcon (both reminiscent of the character of Billy Casper from the novel Kes), and frequently using the catchphrase "Proper Bo'!"
This has since gone on to haunt Craig so much so that he even blamed the show for his lack of recent success.
Famous singer/songwriter Elton John once said "If there is a better singer in England than Craig David, then I am Margaret Thatcher."
An interview in Smash Hits magazine in 2001 revealed that Scatman John was Craig David's uncle through marriage to Craig's aunt Olivia. (source: smash hits 21 October 2001)
