Dido Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O'Malley Armstrong (born 25 December 1971), known professionally as Dido, is an English singer and songwriter. Dido attained international success with her debut album No Angel (1999). It sold over 21 million copies worldwide, and won her several awards, including two Brit Awards for Best British Female and Best Album, the MTV Europe Music Award for Best New Act, and two NRJ Awards for Best New Act and Best Album. Her next album, Life for Rent (2003), continued her success with the hit singles "White Flag" and "Life for Rent". In 2004 Dido performed with other British and Irish artists in the Band Aid 20 version of the charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?"
Dido's first two albums are among the best-selling albums in UK Chart history, and both are in the top 10 best-selling albums of the 2000s in the UK. Her third studio album, Safe Trip Home (200 , received critical acclaim but failed to duplicate the commercial success of her previous efforts. She was nominated for an Academy Award for the song "If I Rise". Dido was ranked No. 98 on the Billboard chart of the top Billboard 200 artists of the 2000s (2000–2009) based on the success of her albums in the first decade of the 21st century. Dido made a comeback in 2013, releasing her fourth studio album Girl Who Got Away, which reached the top 5 in the UK. In 2018, Dido announced her first tour in 15 years in support of her new album, Still on My Mind, to be released in March 2019.
Still On My Mind:
Wikipedia:
Still on My Mind is the fifth studio album by English singer Dido, released on 8 March 2019 through BMG. It is her first studio album since 2013's Girl Who Got Away. The teaser single "Hurricanes" was released on 12 November 2018. The official lead single "Give You Up" was premiered 22 January 2019 on BBC Radio 2. Dido will tour in support of the album from May 2019, making it her first tour in 15 years.
Dido wrote and recorded the album in England with her brother Rollo. She said she "only wanted to make another album if it was with him", and called the recording process simple and an "absolutely magical experience", saying it was "made in such an easy way, all the vocals recorded on the sofa, a lot of it recorded at home".
The album is said to display Dido's "love of hip hop and her folk roots", and feature "a dance and electronic music sensibility".
AllMusic Review by Neil Z. Yeung:
Reinvigorated and confident, Dido returns from a six-year absence with her sparkling fifth album Still on My Mind. Following 2013's neon-washed Girl Who Got Away, this set features her liveliest, catchiest production since early-era breakthroughs No Angel and Life for Rent, and soundtracks familiar themes of love, loss, desire, and -- as the mother of a young son -- family. Anchored by her yearning and ever-ethereal vocals, the LP delivers on the promising glimmers that were teased on its cool (but ultimately sedate) predecessor, successfully synthesizing the spirit of her early hybrid sound with updated late-2010s sheen. Yet another collaboration with her brother Rollo, Still on My Mind finds the English singer/songwriter in a mature, controlled space, an elegant but fresh collection of her familiar electro-folk with a hip-hop heartbeat. Strumming to life with the expansive beauty "Hurricanes," Still on My Mind offers moody callbacks to the early 2000s with emotive highlights "Some Kind of Love," "Give You Up," and the title track, which builds to a shiver-inducing beat drop. Lively electro-pop entries "You Don't Need a God," "Mad Love," and "Friends" bubble to life, while the hard-hitting "Hell After This" echoes Depeche Mode synth pop and the glittery "Take You Home" pulses with disco glory. Dido even takes subtle cues from Enya, putting her spin on new age grace with the plaintive "Walking By" and the triumphant "Chances." Two decades after her debut, Still on My Mind stands impressively strong, a late-era peak that is refreshing in its fearlessness and comforting with a familiarity that doesn't rest too heavily upon the past. Considering the long gap between albums, Still on My Mind is more than worth the wait.
