Craig David - Slicker Than Your Average - VINYL LP

The debut album from Kieran Hebden (Four Tet) and William Tyler, following their previous EP, Darkness, Darkness (2023). Recorded in Los Angeles and Nashville, USA. Produced and mixed by Kieran Hebden.

Created with Mike Brainchild, Toddla T, Tre-Jean Marie and Wretch 32 and featuring collaborations with Jojo, Tiwa Savage and Louisa - one of the greatest British singers and songwriters of all time returns this summer with a brand-new album.'Commitment' is Craig David's ninth full-length record and it is a total triumph. Imbued with a resounding sense of joy and playfulness, the 13 track-player balances a powerful feeling of confidence and ebullience alongside an agile nuance and delicate vulnerability.This is Craig David at his very best.Opening emphatically with the rallying cry of UKG head turner Wake Up, 'Commitment' spans the best of British music; from the rich house refrains of Leave The Light On, through to the perfect tropical pop of SOS and the warm embrace of Afrowave on the utterly gorgeous title track. Craig also flawlessly delivers, throughout, those signature R&B riffs, ad-libs and runs that he is so known and loved for. And while there are nods to the past, this is a body of work that exists very much in the present. Like Craig classics before it, 'Commitment' embodies the best of what's been before while pushing things firmly forward.

It's been 25 years since Craig David released his iconic debut album, Born To Do It, and to celebrate, this groundbreaking record will be reissued as a 2-LP gold color vinyl. Born to Do It stands as a landmark album in the history of UK garage and R&B. Co-produced with Mark Hill (Artful Dodger), it debuted at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart and featured hit singles like Fill Me In, 7 Days, and Walking Away. This is the first time the album has been available on color vinyl and will feature the original album tracks as well as two US bonus tracks, InchKey To My HeartInch and InchFill Me In (Part 2).Inch
