Imagine Beth Orton with a bit more of a pop lilt, and you'll have a good idea of the general approach on LIFE FOR RENT, UK pop siren Dido Armstrong's long-awaited follow-up to her 1999 debut album. Dido's light, feathery voice and simple, purposefully delivered melodies sit atop a mixture of Jewel-like folk-pop and more contemporary, electronics-laden production a la her former group Faithless. Like Orton, Dido injects a touch of highly accessible trip-hop into her sound, as on the moody, clever "See You When You're 40," with its loping, funky groove, or "Who Makes You Feel," with its evocative, atmospheric samples. The mood throughout is a soft, girlish one, as Dido weaves gentle portraits of a woman going through the whole emotional spectrum, with the lightness offset by smarter-than-your-average-pop-star lyrics and small surprises in the arrangements.

"White Flag" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Personnel includes: Dido (vocals, programming); Adam Zimmon, Paul Herman (acoustic guitar); Rick Knowles (guitar, keyboards); Rusty Anderson, Dave Randall (guitar); Sister Bliss (piano, keyboards, programming); Mark Bates (harmonium, keyboards, percussion, programming); Aubrey Nunn (bass); Andy Treacy, Mako Sakamoto (drums); Carlos Paucar (percussion); P*Nut, Steve Sidelynk (programming); Pauline Taylor (background vocals).



This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Entertainment Weekly (10/3/03, p.72) - "...the British singer smartly picks apart shaky relationships and brings to the subject of romance something rare: a level head." - Rating: B
Mojo (Publisher) (11/03, p.125) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Intelligent, yet without pretension, Dido distils every acute observation down to its emotional pith..."

I Struck Gold
Charlie King I Struck Gold CD  (2001)

Life For Rent songs
CD $12.15  5 stars Audio Samples
Charlie King and Karen Brandow expound upon Tinky Winky, Wal-Mart, and their love for one another on I Struck Gold, a genuine folk album filled with social criticism and good humor. While King and Brandow relish wearing their left-wing credentials on their sleeves, they also remember to make their music lively and engaging. "Six Days With the Boss" utilizes the famous trucker song to tell the story of French workers who wouldn't let the boss go until he started listening to their demands. Lovely accordion work by Len Wallace and fiddle by Jeff Belding strike the perfect mood for this funny tune. Si Kahn's poignant "Wal-Mart Union Gonna Rise Again" tells the story of meat department workers attempting to organize Sam Walton's mega-store. The brooding mood is carried by Brandow and King's impassioned vocals, leaving the listener with a masterpiece of contemporary protest music. "Tinky Winky" begins as a funny and somewhat frivolous satire on Jerry Falwell's triad against Teletubbies, only to turn into a blistering attack on how gay bashing can lead to the death of innocents like Matthew Shephard. These few samples may not prepare one for the chronicle of "Barney," the story of an over-inflated, out of control dinosaur who becomes violent during the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Clearly, the prehistoric purple beast will never look the same again. There are many other fine moments on I Struck Gold, and the supporting cast, including Reggie and Kim Harris, is fabulous. King and Brandow compare favorably to the eclectic duo Small Potatoes, or the political folk of Magpie. Here they have made a wonderful album that should please fans and anyone who appreciates quality folk. ~ Ronnie Lankford, Jr. "I Struck Gold" is the much-anticipated debut duo CD by Charlie King, critically acclaimed for his solo records on the Flying Fish label in the 1980s, and his new musical (and personal) partner, Karen Brandow. Charlie and Karen's repertoire on "I Struck Gold" covers three continents, two languages and more than forty years of song selections, performed with sweet harmonies and vibrant musicianship.Described ...
