Dido Still On My Mind CD
8 maart 2019
Dido is back with her first new album in five years,
the stunning ‘Still On My Mind’ out March 8th on BMG. The
multi-million selling singer has also announced her first tour
in 15 (fifteen!) years, where she will play songs from the new
album alongside her classic megahits such as Thank You, Here
With Me, White Flag and Life For Rent. ‘Still On My Mind’ is
Dido’s 5th studio album and was written and recorded in
England, a result of the fruitful and incredibly natural
production/songwriting partnership with her long term
collaborator and brother (faithless
founder) Rollo. ‘It was simple, I only wanted to make
another album if it was with him’ says Dido. ‘It was made in
such an easy way, all the vocals recorded on the sofa, a lot
of it recorded at home’. It follows the 2013 release of the
acclaimed ‘Girl Who Got Away’.
‘Still On My Mind’ encapsulates a variety of styles
and genres, ranging from her love of
hip hop to her folk roots, but ultimately the entire
record carries a dance and electronic music sensibility, even
on the tracks with no beats. At the core, it’s about the
songs which capture the beautiful essence of Dido
personally and emotionally. The first taste of the album
is the glorious ‘Hurricanes’. From the first few notes of this
powerful track, Dido’s voice has never sounded bigger and
better, making you realise how much we’ve missed that
sound.
