DIDO "no angel" cd, 1999.[B] #1 in 35 countries![/B]
Dido Armstrong's second album...her first sunk faster than Titanic a couple of years earlier.....
we all know this one, well, we all know the sample of "thank you" that Eminem used on his classic track "stan" in 2000...
the rest of this album has the same feel and vibe to it as "thank you"....some lyrics are quite dark in places,reflrecting on past relationships/relationships gone bad....that sort of thing, nuch in the same vein as say Sinead O'Connor....another Irish girl, coincidence?, i think not...must be the Catholic upbringing LOL!
21 million copies sold,#1 in 35+countries,Grammy's,Brits etc etc...this album was the biggest selling album in the UK by a British artist in the '00's prior to Adele's "21"...both are classics IMO, and both will go down in history as being 'classics' of this era of music!
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
