DIDO - LIFE FOR RENT 2004
I now listen to as many female vocalists as I do their male counterparts. Perhaps it's an age "mellowing" thing?
Dido's
second album is quite simply, superb. From the opening hit, White
Flag, to the closing See The Sun , she has crafted an album of pure
professionalism.
Of course, Miss Armstrong has not managed this alone - her brother,
Rollo, had a big hand in writing the material - but it's her self confidence
that shines through. She knows what she wants to say and knows exactly
how to say it.
Many of those who I have asked have said the same of her talents: "Oh
yeah, I stick her stuff on if we've got friends around for dinner".
Basically, she's background music that you might recognise in a lift,
to many. This is a gross injustice.
Do yourselves a favour, get the coats for your mates and turn up the
volume. She's well worth the effort!
