dido's got a new album coming out! can you say "finally"?

Dido's efforts to hail a cab in the rain turned fruitless
hazim and the new asymptotes
hey. hazim here...again. Does anybody remember back in 2001, when Eminem and Dr. dre sampled Dido's "Thank You" for their own smash hit "Stan"? And then "Thank You" did better than "Stan" climbing to number 3 on the US and the UK charts?And then her debut album No Angel sold a whopping 13 million albums. And then her second album sold 8 million? And she had another big hit "White Flag"? And how she's been gone so long that her niche in the music world might have been taken over by the likes of Rachael Yamagata, KT Tunstall, and Jem?



Well, none of that soon. Cus they're all going to have to make way for the original (after Portishead, Kate Bush, and Sarah Mclachlan of course). She's coming out with a new album in November, with first single "Don't Believe In Love" being released to radios in September, the 16th to be exact. Let's hope the record label keeps to their word. The album's been delayed so many times. The long gestation time is probably due to the death of her father earlier this year.



She's been working with producer Brian Eno, who's famous for his work with Kanye West and Fiona Appl.e Although I liked her second album Life For Rent, it was a little too similiar to No Angel, just a little more polished. I'm hoping that she changes up her sound a bit though.



Anyways here are three videos, in my opinion, of Dido's three best music videos.Enjoy. Hazim. Out.



"Thank You"


"Don't Leave Home>




"Stan
