Woo hoo! Finally, new Dido music is on the way!

Dido Hoists ‘Flag’ For Sophomore Disc
Uberbabe Dido will follow up her wildly successful debut album, “No Angel,” with “Life for Rent,” due Sept. 30 from Arista. The set will be preceded by the single “White Flag,” which will debut Sunday (June 29) via AOL’s “First Listen” initiative and arrive July 7 at U.S. radio outlets.
“White Flag” was produced by Dido and her brother Rollo, of the band Faithless (with whom Dido has also recorded). Rollo has other production credits on the new album, which was recorded at The Church, a London recording studio owned by the Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart.
The full track list for “Life for Rent” has not yet been finalized, but among the tunes expected to make the cut as “Sand in My Shoes,” “This Land Is Mine” and “Mary’s in India.”
It has been four years since the release of “No Angel,” which got a boost when eventual single “Thank You” was sampled on Eminem’s hit “Stan.” The debut would reach a peak of No. 4 on The Billboard 200 during 69 weeks on the chart, on its way to selling 3.8 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.
The album was also a huge hit internationally and in Dido’s native U.K., with worldwide shipments exceeding 12 million, according to Arista.
