‘Still On My Mind’ covers a variety of styles and genres, from her love of hip hop, to her folk roots, but ultimately the whole record is at its core, about the songs, which beautifully capture her both personally and emotionally. You can read our review here.

“It was simple, I only wanted to make another album if it was with him’ says Dido. ‘It was made in such an easy way, all the vocals recorded on the sofa, a lot of it recorded at home”.

The record follows the 2013 release of the acclaimed Girl Who Got Away, with lead single Hurricanes, released at the end of last year, already amassing almost 2 MILLION streams on Spotify.

Speaking of making the album, Dido recalls,

“an absolutely magical experience”, expressing that “I wanted to capture the feeling I still get from listening to music, just that rush like you don’t need anything more than this”.

Dido sets off on her world tour on May 5 in Prague. For further information, see her official website.
