Album Reviews
Trading their slick synth pop for guitar-based wistfulness, Dirty Vegas return after two mix albums with the entirely new One. There are hints of late-period New Order and Duran Duran on the album, and barely any of the electronic pings and pongs of the past. They're still dreamy and maudlin, and still not lyricists who will threaten Dylan, but the production is slick and hides the band's shortcomings. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide

Don't Believe In Love Dido |
| After almost 5 years, Dido is back...and was it worth the wait? The single sounds like it could have come off the last album, with a great chorus and sumptuous strings carrying the melody and packing an emotional punch in the process. Apparently this and most of "Safe Trip Home" was written about her recent breakup. Well, it worked for Winehouse with 'Back to Black', so why not? However, lyrics aside, it's actually a good little pop song and it's surprising how little radio play it has had, resulting in a relatively low chart placing. Maybe people are waiting for the album (now out), which she has worked on with the likes of Brian Eno & Jon Brion (Keane), as her sales are remarkably high due to her loyal fan case. The first two shifted over 24 millions copies worldwide between them. After a brief listen, it seems that Dido has released the strongest song first, as she did with 'White Flag' from her last effort. However, this is not of that magnitude unfortunately and the album feels a bit low key and 'samey'. But, as with all great albums, only time will tell and this lead single more than merits the wait: the haunting vocals and polished production will at least push the extremely talented Dido back into the public's consciousness, where she belongs! | |
