And now Dido's back too...

First Coldplay did it. Then Keane gave it a go. Now Dido's getting in on the act. What are we talking about? Why, the free-download-as-album-teaser, of course! Dido Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O'Malley Armstrong - see why she prefers just the one name? – revealed today that she's releasing her new album, Safe Trip Home, in November. To set the promotional wheels in motion, she's giving away a track from the album on her official website now.

It's called 'Look No Further' and it's a spare, modest piano ballad about finding contentment. Dido begins by listing all the things she might have been – including, rather bizarrely, "a poet who walked upon the moon" - before acknowledging that her life's just fine as it is because she's found her soulmate. "I can stop and catch my breath," she sings, "And look no further for happiness."

This track doesn't sound like a radio smash, but then again it's not meant to - she's going to release a proper single called 'Don't Believe In Love' before the album comes out. But 'Look No Further' does confirm that Dido hasn't lost her knack for presenting ordinary, easy to relate to sentiments in an intimate and appealing way. Shall we call it another ten million album sales?
