Smooth and smoky - Craig David plays it safe, September 27, 2005
Englishman Craig David sticks to familiar hunting ground with "The Story Goes", his third album of R&B smoothies. Easy on the eyes with his arched eyebrows and carefully groomed facial hair, David also sounds as good as ever, particularly on the single "All the Way".
The best song on the album is "Don't Love You No More (I'm Sorry)", other picks being "One Last Dance" which reminds me of his hit song "Rise and Fall"; "Unbelievable"; "Do You Believe in Love" and "Hypnotic"
Even though the album is packed with smooth R&B songs and one upbeat track "Just Chillin'", it would be nice if he would dig down to his Caribbean roots every once in a while (his father is Grenadian, his mother Jamaican) and produce some surprises. Still, one can never get too much of that sexy voice sending shivers up and down your spine.

Craig David is back with more of an R&B groove, September 29, 2005
Reminiscent of "Rendezvous", "Booty Man", "Key To My Heart", "What's Changed" and other slower songs, Craig David's new album "The Story Goes" reminds me of work by Brian McKnight, Jon B. and Babyface to name a few. The only faster songs are "All The Way" and "Just Chillin", David's most upbeat, danceworthy song on the album. His ballad, "Unbelievable" is very smooth and sincere, and slower than any other Craig song released on CD to date. Other noteworthy songs include "Hypnotic", a slow jam worth listening to when you're gettin' down with your hunny, "Separate Ways" that incorporates a sweet guitar melody, and "Thieves in the Night", an edgy song about his best friend stealing his woman. If you are looking for a more upbeat album with songs like "Fill Me In" and "What's Your Flava" this isn't it, but its still classic Craig and worth your time and money.

Solid Effort, September 29, 2005
Craig's 3rd studio release is remarkable. His smooth, silky voice shines bright on these tracks. I love how there are no guests - it's all Craig at his best. The songs have great melodies and arrangments. His mid-tempo ballads, namly the innovative "Separate Ways" to the catchy, up-tempo songs like "Hypnotic," Craig is on top of his game. The lyrics were written with thought and creativity and the production is flawless. Two thumbs up to Mr. David. This CD will remain on my iPod and in my car constantly.
