Truth Or Dare? is the third studio album by British recording artist Paul. It was releasedin November 2003, by SoURBAN Entertainment ltd.


Background and development[edit | edit source]

Throughout the promotional campaign for his sophmore album Long Time Coming, Paul continued to record. He said in an interview on Channel 4 that he had felt so inspired throughout the recording process that he did not want to stop. Since the album's release Paul has said that this album is one of his most consistent and was one of the most enjoyable recording process' as he was able to take his time. Paul executive produced the album along-side long time collaberation partner Boris Koller, who had also worked on both the previous records. The album became Paul's most successful release so far, but still displeased Paul's record company who urged the star to continue recording. Media outlets at the time reported that SoURBAN wanted another Top 5 single, but were unprepared to invest the time and money in promotion. The campaign ended after 2 singles and Paul returned to the studio to start work on another new album.

Reception[edit | edit source]

The album received favourable reviews from critics, with Simon Rapley of The Guardian saying "He simply gets better with each album. This record is a far cry from the messy debut, and quick sophmore. This is an artist blooming very quickly before our ears".


The album reached SilverGold status in the U.K.
