ido Does It Again!!! And In Style!, March 27, 2004
Reviewer: mrmckille from Windsor, Berks United Kingdom
Dido's first album 'No Angel' introduced to the world a unique talent. Not only did the songs strike a chord with everyone who heard them, 'No Angel' also went on to become the biggest selling record in the world during 2001 with sales of over 12 million (officially the biggest ever-selling debut by a female artist in the UK). Since the release of 'No Angel', which is multi platinum in 35 countries, Dido has toured the world and won many accolades including 2 Brit Awards (Best Female, Best Album) plus MTV awards, and an Ivor Nevello award to name but a few...
But that was then....Fast forward to 2003 and Florian Cloud De Bounevialle Armstrong - aka Dido - is back with her eagerly awaited new album. Recorded at The Church, the London facility owned by Dave Stewart of Eurythmics, and once again produced by Dido and her brother Rollo (Faithless mainman and founder of dance imprint Cheeky Records), 'Life For Rent' happily picks right up where it's multi-platinum predecessor left off, offering eleven gentle, touching, but often barbed songs, built around piano, acoustic guitar and subtle shades of studio wizardry. The result is an album every bit as fresh and beguiling as its predecessor, but one characterised by a new-found confidence and musical maturity. Includes the single 'White Flag'.
