Dido: Girl Who Got Away – review

Dido's new album includes some adventurous diversions amid lame lyrics, writes Hermione Hoby
  
  


By the early 00s, when her albums No Angel and Life for Rent were selling by the tens of millions, Dido had became a byword for bland; this was music to have dinner parties to. But even a song as lyrically lame as the title track ("I wanna move with the seasons/And go with the flow") is a reminder of the lovely effortlessness of her voice. And, there are some more adventurous diversions, including a guest spot from Kendrick Lamar. The most interesting track, though, tries less hard: the Pet Shop Boys-esque synth pop of End of Night – a cool and witty f-you to a past lover.
