feeling listless

Music I'm not surprised that Dido was the richest British female artist last year. The album 'No Angel' is the rarest of things -- an album which speaks to everyone and feels almost perfect. I think Frank Skinner hit the nail on the head the other month when he interviewed her. He said her voice seemed 'lived in' - although he was actually creeping around for 'natural'. She feels like one of us -- our sister, girlfriend, crush, girl we sit opposite on the train every night. When we see her in video she seems very approachable or true in a way other female singer songwriters don't. Even I love Alanis to bits I couldn't imagine having a conversation with her. Not so Dido. It must be strange still touring an album you released originally nearly four years ago -- she must really be itching to record some new material.
