    After 5 years since her last album, Dido Armstrong is going to release a new album called: "Safe Trip Home" this album is released on november 3rd.

    The first single of the new cd is called: "Dont Believe in Love"
    The video of this single was already filmed last week and will be aired in October.

    You can hear this single on her official website, also you can download another song of the new album named: "Look No Further", also in her website you can see 3 videos of her in the studio talking about "Safe Trip Home" with the producers.

    She worked with Jon Brion, Brian Eno and her brother Rollo (part of the group Faithless), she recorded in Los Angeles and in London.

    For more details, and to hear her songs go to www.didomusic.com

    BTW, Im so glad that she is back, she is an awesome singer!!!!

    Hey, that's good news. Saw her in Austin (opening for Barenaked Ladies) shortly after her first album came out. Didn't expect much, but I was blown away by her musicianship and vocals.

    She purty, too. ;)

    for some reason, my favorite thing about this lady is the fact that I get to call her "Dildo" when her songs come on.

    She's one of those artists I see as fresh and recent. Then realize her break through was a decade ago

    What a b*tch, this DIDO... taking one of EMINEM's songs and making it her own?!?!?! I'll never forgive her for that... Gosh knows rappers don't take other peeps' songs to make them their own... :mad:

    ;) White Flag is the... how do you youngsters say now... 'the bomb'?

    I didn't know she was 'Armstrong' either. What, is there another DIDO out there? At first I thought her name had a D between the I and the second D. :eek:

    I'm digging the new single, and I loved the first 2 albums. I'll definitely be picking this one up the day it comes out.

    Im a huge Dido fan, and first I didnt like the single, but I have heard a lot of times, and now I like it!

    Now her single is #1 in Italy and Spain in the iTunes store, without promotion of Sony BMG.

    And for all the people didnt knew her last name, well her real full name is:
    Dido Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O'Malley Armstrong

    You have to watch the album-making videos they are awesome!!! :cool:

    I was already stoked about this album, but then I found out Jon Brion produced it. A new Dido album with a Jellyfish connection? I'm definitely buying it.

    Hmm. I was convinced Dido and Lance Armstrong were both making a comeback at the Tour De France :)

    She's really cute. I don't know why, but I wish she'd do something w/ Massive Attack.

    According to her site, it says that, she played the piano, played the drums, helped producing and mixing.

    Some pics of her:

    She looks so young on this one:

    I'd give her a bone, except, I think shes Canadian.

    I have a strict no-bone-canadians policy.

    massive attack? meh. that was so 8 years ago.

    Just downloaded her album after hearing the single 'Don't Believe In Love'. This is her first album I've listened to and I'm loving it. Any recommendations on her past stuff?
