On this review I will be reviewing an old album which was released in the year 2000 on the 12th August 2000. It is the debut album by Craig David called "Born To Do It".
This is the debut album by Craig David. Craig has been making music since the year 2000. He has released seven studio albums. Craig has had a great career of music despite in 2007 he didn't have the best time for promoting music. But when 2016 came Craig blew up again like he did in 2000. Everybody was talking about the comeback with the following album "Follow My Intuition". Which in my opinion will always be his second best album. I loved how Craig respected the fans for what they wanted and that was another UK Garage album. Songs such as "When The Bassline Drops", "Nothing Like This", "16", "Aint Giving Up". There are songs that just stunned fans forever with the hype of UK Garage dominating the charts once again. Discussing more about this album. I really love this album. This album really showed how music changed from the beginning of 2000s. Since the 90s it was more house/deep house music and R&B. This album will always be a UK Garage classic. Despite I was born in 2000 during the time I was born this was one of the biggest albums in the UK at the time. I feel like the new listeners have to go back and listen to the old Craig David. Personally I don't mind craig's new sound but I prefer his old school garage days which kicked off his career. I would definitely put this album as my top 100 favourite albums of all time.
My favourite tracks on the album starting with the classic "Fill Me In" I love how the mid point of the track comes with a great garage bassline in the chorus. This was the track that began the excitement for a young Craig David. This track definitely shows that Garage and R&B do go well together. Next track "Rendezvous" beautiful smooth R&B melody. This is probably one of the most underrated tracks on the album. Such a great song which is a smooth love song. "7 Days" another instant classic. Another garage classic. This one of the tracks that made Americans discover who Craig David was. It was practically the first song they have heard from him since it did dominate the charts. Loving a bit of the guitar riff in the chorus. "Walking Away" I loved the start of the track it has little bit of Reggae mixed with R&B. It's a song about walking away of the past of your life and walk forward to the future. "Time To Party" which is a funky 90s vibe.With a bit of electro to it. Definitely another underrated track. It's a great track to party. I do not have a least favourite track since all tracks were good.
Overall I enjoyed this album and will always enjoy it. This will always be a classic album. It's a 10/10.
