Review :
{^The Story Goes...} was the third album by British R&B singer {$Craig David}, following his breakthrough number one in 2000, {^Born to Do It}, and {^Slicker Than Your Average}. Picking himself up and signing to {@Warner Bros.} after the demise of his {@Wildstar/Telstar} record label, {$David} offered {^The Story Goes...} as a very personal album filled with his own experiences over the past few years, including his own relationship breakdown in {&"Don't Love You No More (I'm Sorry),"} being mesmerized by a woman during his partying phase on the tracks {&"Hypnotic"} and {&"Just Chillin',"} and another doomed liaison on the song {&"One Last Dance."} The song {&"Johnny"} delved deeper into his past as he explored the subject of bullying, and the line "I didn't want to tell you anything in case it made things worse" would strike a chord with many a victim. The first two tracks, {&"All the Way"} and {&"Don't Love You No More (I'm Sorry),"} both became Top Ten hit singles. {$David} had a unique style of singing more words than should have been able to fit into each line, but it worked for him. {&"Separate Ways"} was back to {&"Fill Me In"} standards, and he also had a habit of answering his own lines through a voicebox, as on {&"Thief in the Night."} He strayed into {$Enrique Iglesias} territory on the song {&"Unbelievable,"} but without the smoldering Latin passion. Produced by long-term {$David} collaborator {$Mark Hill}, {^The Story Goes...} appeared to fall between an urban R&B-flavored {$Usher}-styled album and his earlier more hip-hop-influenced work with {$the Artful Dodger}. It couldn't be both. ~ Sharon Mawer, All Music Guide
