I cant see Dido having any huge success when she does release as her singles most likely will be ignored by radio and will achieve minimum streaming.

 

Dido is likely looking at a 100k selling album.

 

 

She could quite well be a big album seller again if she goes in a good direction. The trip hop/lounge influence on her first two made them really versatile, when she went full acoustic that was lessened a bit I've always felt.
The Day Before the Day from album 3 is her best song ever imho,

 

I believe it's about her father's death. Maybe it's just me projecting a similar situation from my life, but I think she is telling how she didn't get to say goodbye or even see her dad on the day he died.

 

that last verse that goes

"I didn't get to say goodbye the day before the day

Was trying to get to work on time that's why I turned away

And missed the most important thing you ever tried to say

I've lived my life without regret until today"

 

 

I always thought the song was about suicide. The second verse alludes to that in my opinion.

 

''Wakes me every single night, thinking through the day

Did you stop at any time, have doubts at any stage?

Were you calm or were you numb, or happy just to get it done?

Well I've lived my life without regret, until today''

 

Beautiful song.

album is called Still On My Mind
Early 2019 is too far away! I want it now!
That title is so me. I can’t wait for this ageless Queen to return. It’ll have been 6 years since her last album.

Dido announces new album Still On My Mind and first UK and Ireland tour in 15 years

12 November 2018 | By Rob Copsey

 

The singer returns with her first album in six years in 2019.

 

Dido has announced details of her new album and details of her first tour in 15 years.

 

The London born singer-songwriter will release her fifth album Still On My Mind on March 8 2019. A song from the collection, called Hurricanes, is out to download and stream now.

 

The record is Dido's first studio album in six years, since 2013's Number 5-peaking Girl Who Got Away. Look back at Dido's complete Official UK Chart history here.

 

It's been even longer since Dido went out on the road; but she's fixing that with the announcement of her first tour in 15 years. The shows kick off in Prague on May 4 and reaches the UK and Ireland on May 26, taking in Glasgow, Dublin, Manchester and London. Tickets go on sale on November 16.

 

Dido's first two albums, 1999's No Angel and 2003's Life For Rent, are among the UK's biggest studio albums of all time. No Angel's combined sales stand at 3.09 million, while Life For Rent is on 2.9 million. Check out the UK's biggest studio albums of all time.

 

Dido's UK and Ireland tour dates

May 26 - Glasgow, Royal Concert Hall

May 27 - Dublin, Olympia Theatre

May 29 - Manchester, Albert Hall

May 30 - London, Roundhouse

 

listening now

so Dido ;)

love her, this is pure Dido and she doesn't need collabs with Guetta, Rudimental and CG or songs written by Ed Sheehan like 99% of the female pop singers out there

Having a date is going to make the wait much easier.

 

An interesting song, I think I’m going to love it, certainly need a few more listens though!

Well she did a collab with Armin Van Buuren a few years ago though it wasn't for the purpose of ruling the chart.

 

I like the new single, it's just so Dido as you said. Wish the tour could come somewhere close to Hong Kong.

Now we have a title, I've made the thread name more appealing to the forum :P

I’m in the same boat. Now feeling the need to revisit her earlier material to gear up for this album!

 

Incidentally yesterday I left work with "White Flag" randomly in my head and then found she had a brand new single later that evening by coincidence.

 

Another random thought... I wonder how "Walk On Water" by Eminem would’ve sounded with Dido featuring instead. I wonder if they could reunite for a "Stan" quality collab again one day.

Lots of formats (CD, Vinyl, Cassette etc.,) and signed bundles now available from her official store :cheer:
