It is late. Too late to be posting a blog. Anyway, I just got back from work about an hour ago. Having no better plans for a Friday evening I have decided to forget about eating a kebab and I have driven back home. It is something strange, the fact that, when you have spent several Friday evenings with friends, it is suddenly kind of sad to be by yourself. Not that I feel sad at all, but it would be nice to go and have a drink with someone.
Ok, let's talk about something more interesting than me. Let's talk about music, because last Monday I bought Dido's new album, Safe trip home, and I would like to comment on it and I would also love to know what do you think about it. That is, the ones who have listened to it, of course.
Safe trip home is different from her previous studio album, Life for rent (2003). It contains darker and sadder pieces, but at the same time they are accompained by beautiful lyrics (listen to the song Look no further to understand fully what I mean) that touch you right in the middle of your heart. With this album, it seems like she has decided to make her music a more mature one, leaving behind some of the traces of the electronic samples she used to use frequently in No Angel (2000) and in Life for rent to try more acoustic sounds that make the CD a much less comercial one. Notice that less comercial does not mean worse. It is, however, a less easy to listen album for the people who just look for poppy or mainstream-friendly-rock songs. Not that I dislike Dido's previous albums at all (on the contrary, I love them), but in Safe trip home there is no White flag. In this new piece of work shades of celtic music, jazz and of course her brother's electronic touch are to be listened and all those (and more) put together with her distinctive voice, give the whole a sense of tranquillity. The sense of tranquillity that only Dido is able to give.
