Safe Trip Home, the third album from singer-songwriter Dido, sees the chanteuse cook up a slightly different ambience than on previous albums No Angel (1999) and Life for Rent (2003). Though her signature elements remain in place--the limited, slightly cracked falsetto; the dreamy, comforting trip-hop vibe--there seems to be an extra density to Safe Trip Home, doubtless provoked by the loss of her father in 2006. The added weight is predominantly in the lyrics, which tend to focus on loss and heartache, but there's extra detail and depth in the musicianship too, since Dido has been busy honing her skills as a multi-instrumentalist. Despite the denser themes, the music still drifts by in classic Dido style, moving smoothly through the insouciant "Don't Believe in Love", the aptly titled "Quiet Times", and "Never Want to Say It's Love", before arriving at the somber-yet-elegant six-minute standout "Grafton Street", co-written with Brian Eno and featuring Mick Fleetwood on drums. The rest of the album unfurls in similarly sophicticated fashion, featuring the folkish "Look No Further", the upbeat "Us 2 Little Gods" and a nine-minute poetic closer called "Northern Skies". Put simply, Safe Trip Home is Dido on superlative form. --Danny McKenna

Oddly revealing, on many different levels

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 October 2010

Verified Purchase

This is a review of Dido - Safe Trip Home [Deluxe Edition].

Of course very few of us come to a Dido album without preconceptions, and I found this CD confirmed some of mine and challenged others.

In terms of the challenged preconception, the idea that Dido produces dispassionate, emotionless music is widely propagated, although not accepted by her fans of course. The lyrics on this album surprised me by coming across as very personal, honest and made me warm to Dido as an individual. Despite the allegedly privileged upbringing, the not unattractive appearance etc., she clearly has to put up with the disappointments that life and love occasionally throw our way, and expresses these in song beautifully. That was a surprise to me, I must say, and one of the reasons why I'll stick with this album and keep listening to it.

The other 'reveal' though is that the music works best when the template has something else added to it e.g. Eno's "Grafton Street", Citizen Cope's contribution to "Burnin' Love" (not a cover of the Elvis classic, I should point out) and the slow-burning string arrangement that producer Jon Brion gives to the 8+ minutes of "Northern Skies" that closes the album proper.

On the bonus disc, there is "For One Day" which has a curious strings-tracking-the-vocal effect that brings to mind Philly soul of the 70s, "Summer" which sounds like an acoustic guitar doodle expanded into a full song, and (as a complete surprise) a magnificent Sister Bliss remix of "Northern Skies" that adds some extra movement and dynamism to the original without losing its power. Oh, and - on a PC near you - a short film about the making of the album, in which various protagonists line up to say what a wonderful, intuitive, natural musician Dido is. Maybe a bit of spin introduced by the record company there. For her own part, Dido is very honest in the film, saying that she only wants to write songs that connect with people - something in which she clearly succeeds, given the many glowing reviews here.

A magical enchantment of lyrics and soul searching truths

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 December 2008

Verified Purchase

If you like your music to have a depth that touches your heart and enables you to connect to the humanity within you and others around you, finding all that is common - both gained and lost - then this is for you.

I suspect some will it find it too slow and moody to be considered 'good'. If you're a `sound-bit' kind of person then this isn't for you. If you're a `rush around' Radio 1 fan then I doubt the depth and gentle pace here will catch you. You will need to `settle' into this album; like taking an evening out from anything else except this album (and maybe a glass of wine). Take the time to dwell here with her feelings though and you will really fall in love with it! Its gentle themes will lull you like a lover stroking your tears away. A haven you will want to return to again and again.

This album is deeply personal and yet open and transparent. It is refreshing like the clear air after a storm. This is an emotionally cleansing album that is heart aching yet is still warm and cosy like a warm fire. The music is gentle and soothing, moving through a number of gentle tempos which are all perfectly in keeping in how Dido unfolds her lyrics. A first class album in my humble opinion!

Fanatastic Album Well Worth The Wait

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 November 2008

Verified Purchase

I purchased Dido's new album Safe Trip Home, two weeks ago, and it was well worth the long five year wait. I love No Angel and Life for Rent, but this album is on another scale from the previous two. I had the pleasure of listening to it as I toured West Clare in Ireland, the beauty of where I was combinded with the emotion of Dido's new songs made a moving weekend. The stand out song on the album is of course Grafton Street, but the more I listen to it, and that is a lot over the last two weeks, the more I have began to realise what a master of work it is, I hear something new in each song as I listen, and that to me is an achievemnt in it's self. Well done Dido.

heard some music playing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 February 2014

Verified Purchase

and found out it was a Dido track, don't really like Dido that much so have never really explored her work, but really liked this song - unfortunately it was only included as a bonus track on Safe Trip Home and doesn't seems to be on current releases. Still reading the reviews this seems to be a bit of a marmite release for Dido fans, plus as it was cheap I thought I'd give it a go. Well as stated I'm not really a fan and I found this to be OK, which is more than I can say for most of the other releases I've heard in the past - it will probably get the odd outing on the CD Player but won't really be a constant player.

Excellent singer, quiet music to enjoy listening

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 March 2011

Verified Purchase

Many people say this is not as good as the rest of Dido albums. I disagree. This is the first album I listened completely and for me it's wonderful! It's different, but nothing to envy to the others. The music, the lyrics and specially Dido's voice make it ideal to listen with headphones and at night.

All songs are of a great quality and are perfectly arranged. My favourite quiet songs are "Quiet times", "It comes and it goes" and "The day before the day", this last one song almost as a whisper. "Us 2 little Gods" is the more lively one.

If you like quiet music, and a voice that caresses your ears, this album is a must!

Stunning, but not like the old Dido

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 November 2008

Verified Purchase

If you're an early purchaser of this album, you're probably doing so on the basis that you like her previous albums and you've heard the first track on this one, "Don't believe in love" and like that too. You could be in for a shock. The remainder of the album in relatively slow and much more soulful and thoughtful than her previous efforts. This fits Dido's voice perfectly, but if you're expecting some uplifting rythmns, this probably isn't for you. If you want something with a slightly haunting sound and emotive lyrics, you won't be disappointed.

I suspect this is an album that will get more critical aclaim than it will commercial success.
