    Her songs are beautiful and a voice you can listen to over and over again. She's kind of shy in away down to earth - a star in my book

    This is my favorite album by Dido - the songs are catchy, layered, and beautiful and really showcase her gorgeous voice. I like that she's not all flashy and MTV-driven but really focuses on her craft. It shows in songs that are timeless and you want to hear over and over again.

Description

Taken from the 2003 album of the same name. The title track is backed with three exclusive non-LP tracks, 'Life For Rent' (Skinny 4 Rent Mix), 'Stoned' (Spiritchaser Mix), & 'Life For Rent' (Video). BMG.Despite its somewhat polite, trip-hoppy surface, Dido Armstrong’s music frequently rests on a melancholy that can only be called courageous in the current pop world. Few singer-songwriters with 12 million record sales behind them would offer a single such as Life for Rent’s "White Flag," which is in part an apology for the "mess and destruction" the narrator has left with her lover. Emotions are even stickier on other tracks, with Dido’s Dusty-ish voice coolly sweeping through "Don’t Leave Home," one of the creepiest codependent-love songs since "Every Breath You Take," and in "Who Makes You Feel," ticking off a list of reasons why an affair is dying, while also admitting that she still loves the guy. It’s a hard-won romanticism, too, that pokes its head up in the tough-minded "This Land is Mine" and "Do You Have a Little Time" ("I’d like to hold you still/Remind you of all you’ve missed"). A knotty and rewarding album. --Rickey Wright
