Dido rather passed me by - I only have any of her music because a friend gave me some CDs when clearing their studio - another good painter lost to the cost of living crisis.
This was Dido's debut album and it's pleasant enough, well-produced pop â her voice is intimate, timeless and presented against arrangements that â in general - complement the easy, unaffected nature of her vocals.
That's where I find some detachment from her music â she has a slightly folk-like vocal quality in her slower, more ballad-styled tracks which I rate as a strength, but the more heavily produced tracks have an anonymity to them, making her vocals less readily identifiable, less personal.
It's still a nice enough album though â just a bit MOR for my tastes.
Lyrics are included in the booklet.
This UK CD release has a bonus track and two videos that require a computer to access them; the CD has a playing time of 52.00 minutes; click on the blue Free mp3 version in the AutoRip section above and choose mp3 as the buying option to access the sound samples.
