A catch-up with Dido, part 1
Wed 7th Oct, 2009
With Dido back in the studio recording her fourth album, we gave her a shout to find out how she's doing.
Hello Dido, how are you?
Very well thank you. This is my favourite time of year. I've just got in from a fantastic walk in the countryside where I'm working. There is truly nothing better than walking in cold sunshine listening to music, so I feel great.
What have you been up to over the last few months?
I've been working on a new record. The last few months has been spent mostly at home just writing and recording away on my own in the kitchen - still the place I get the most done!
How is the new material coming along?
Great. I'm really enjoying what I've been doing. I've been embracing my electronic roots again which is even more enjoyable than ever before after all I've been learning in the last few years. Loving Logic 9 too.
How does the new stuff compare to the Safe Trip Home songs?
You'll have to wait and see! I'll fill you in more as time goes on, but it's a whole new world.
Are you still playing a lot of the instruments?
So far, I'm playing all of them. But hopefully we'll get some professionals in soon! I'm working with Rollo at the moment and he's great at inspiring me to play everything. He doesn't really give me a choice.
Look out for part 2 of our interview soon

Queen DIDOSelina, 08/10/09
It is really a pity that Safe Trip Home has not the same success as the other 2. STH is really good, love the music, all the instruments, and the different style of NA & LFR.I think that Dido could do anything style of music. She has that special touch i love. I will always be a number 1 supporter. Love you Dido... Can't wait for the next one ! |

You and Clarence (Citizen Cope)marlen lebaron, 12/10/09
I'd love to ask you a question... When did you first fall in love with Citizen Cope? what song of his did you hear first? When I first knew of Burning Love, I was amazed and so happy to know you two had made a song together, love you both so much! Please get back to me with the answers if possible. You should have my email. Thanks! |

A RevelationFrancis B, 14/10/09
I loved all 3 albums. I think the 3rd was more experimental than the other two but it was worth the gamble. I'm expecting to hear the two style mix together for the upcoming 4th production. |

G'day from Gav of Fremantle Western Australia!GR1GAV, 24/11/09
G'day Dido! Thanks for the brilliant website that allow's me to express my gratitude for your wonderful, and truely magical music! This music is unique and soul feeding to me, and i urge anyone whom has not yet endulged themselves, to do so... as this is a true delicacy! Thank you for the tunes that i listen to when im a bit down and sad, and the ones when im alive, and on top of the world, the ones when i lay down in a quiet darkened room, eyes closed, with my beautiful 2yr old daughter Ruby, and we drift off to another place, a beautiful place, a place of love, meditation, simplicity and appreciation...these are very special moments for me. Thank you for the great tunes that i listen to when we go camping, out in the bush with limited commodities, back to basics, no traffic sounds, just a warm fire, a few drinks, a galaxy of stars, and the soul feeding sounds of your beautiful voice...these are the moments of appreciation, and the feelings of elation. I can often be the last one left around that fire, listening to this wonderful music over and over again, staring at the embers, reluctant to turn in. Thankyou. Congratulations on your achievements with all of your albums - they are just amazing! People have asked me, who is your favorite Male and Female artist in the world?, and i simply tell them - "It's easy, Jack Johnson and Dido!" The two coolest, heartfelt musicians ever! Dido, i have seen almost every major headline act around the globe that this beautiful planet of ours has to offer...but i still continue to cling to hope, that i will one day be blessed enough to experience your precious music in person. So please, if you are considering any tour's downunder in the near future, or even in decades to come, we would LOVE to have you here in Perth W.A.!!! I hope this message finds you well, and you are having fun making your new album, we are filled with excitement and anticipation for your newest songs. Regards Gavin Dobson. x |

I wish...xcocox, 21/12/09
I wish someday I will be just like you- singing beautiful songs that noone can resist. I think I have quite a good singing voice but obviously not as good as yours... Not one single person can sing like you. I also wish i could meet you-it would mean a great deal to me. Please visit my profile. Many thanks for reading xcocox |
