ARTIST: Dido
RATING: OOO
hazim and the new asymptotes
hey. hazim here...again. So...uh, Dido's got this new song available as a free mp3 download on her official website (Click HERE freebee lovers). And uh...what does it sound like? It's a sparse simple ballad about 'poets walking on moons'. The lyrics get a bit cringe-worthy. Her voice is still beautiful, as always, it remains something you can count on, like an old dog. But it's been a long time since her last album and the music scene has changed drastically. If this is the type of music Dido wants to put out, then good for her. But bad for her career. "Look No Further" was produced by Jon Brion and you can catch glimmers of an orchestra, his signature, but this isn't worth the long 5 year wait. Dido's upcoming album will be titled Safe Trip Home, and apparently, this is just a song to garner excitement for the album. Not the official single. But this will still be on the album. Boo. I was expecting something more though. This could have been a hidden track off Life For Rent or No Angel. All I know is, even Jem would snort at this. Her next song had better be better. Or am I just an unhappy fanboy? Yeah, that's it. Still, at least she didn't take as long as Axl Rose. Hazim. Out.
