- -- Release notes ---------------------------------------------------- -- -
Four years after the critically acclaimed Safe Trip Home
became Dido's third million-seller - taking her to an
astonishing career total of 29 million albums sold - the
Londoner returns with her fourth album.
Girl Who Got Away might just be her finest record yet. These
are the songs of defiance, hope and heartbreak to make the
planet fall in love with Dido all over again.
Recording Girl Who Got Away, Dido was often reminded of making
No Angel, her debut album which remains one of the planet's
biggest-selling records of this century. Like that world-
conquering debut, the new album is built around waves of
sumptuous electronica, Dido's softly powerful voice and a host
of strikingly memorable songs. Warm, evocative and bursting
with the emotion of life's little details, Girl Who Got Away
is classic Dido; at once modern and timeless.
Also, as with No Angel (and indeed, its 2003 follow-up, Life
For Rent) the majority of the new album's literate, life-
affirming songs were written and produced by Dido and her
brother, Faithless founder Rollo Armstrong. And, just like in
the early days, she worked on it without really imagining that
people would ever hear it.
"It was an incredibly fun record to make," she beams. "There
was no pressure on me at all. It's all been so natural and
easy." Dido had a blast, whether working alone at her kitchen
table or alongside trusted collaborators Brian Eno, Jeff
Bhasker, Rick Nowels, Greg Kurstin and, of course, Rollo in
various home studios and hotel rooms on either side of the
Atlantic. "On every other record I've made, there have been
really tricky days," she says, "but there weren't any like
that on this one."
Much of the album was written and recorded before the summer
of 2011 when - not long after receiving an Oscar nomination
for If I Rise, the 127 Hours theme she made with A R Rahman -
Dido and her husband had their first child.
"I wrote everything on this album before I got pregnant,' she
says. "And a lot of it was actually recorded while I was
pregnant. It's really fun to think back to when I was singing
these songs. Like with Girl Who Got Away, I remember the baby
was kicking me to the point I thought I was going to fall
over!"
An unmistakable optimism shines through the new album, which
Dido completed late in 2012 after taking a year off to
concentrate on motherhood. That positive spirit is there in
the life-loving, Go Dreaming; in the ode to true love that is
the album's first single, No Freedom; and in the driving Let
Us Move On, which features a pin-sharp guest spot from the
world's hottest rapper, Kendrick Lamar. And it glows
particularly brightly in the loved-up redemption of the
folksy, autobiographical Sitting On The Roof Of The World.
Which isn't to say that this album is all sweetness and light:
Dido certainly retains her knack for disguising a barbed lyric
with a beguiling melody. So, the propulsive End Of Night might
sound like one of her most upbeat songs yet, but it is, in
fact, a rather vicious break-up song. Blackbird, meanwhile, is
deliciously withering.
And the album's title? "It's one of my favourite songs on the
record," she says. "But I guess it also sums up the last few
years for me. Taking a step back from it all and going off to
have the whole happy adventure of starting a family and making
an album that I really am so proud of. And now I just can't
wait for people to hear it."
She might be the girl who got away. But make no mistake, Dido
is back.
