 (12 Customer Reviews)
UK chanteuse Dido uses her undisputed pop vocal smarts to enchant the listener from the outset of her solo debut NO ANGEL. Captivating songs laced with electronica, trip-hop and rock combine effortlessly with the singer/songwriter's sultry vocals to create a fresh sounding, vibrant release.
Tracks like "Don't Think of Me," "All You Want," and "Thank You," are strong and powerful but never overwhelming. There are also some more ambient-type cuts, such as "My Lover's Gone" and "Here With Me," where swirling, airy sound textures envelop the song. Throughout NO ANGEL, Dido's melting vocals enfold the listener. Disarming cuts like "Honestly OK," "My Life," and "I'm No Angel," are immediately engaging. The album also includes a bonus track, "Take My Hand."
Engineers include: Ash Howes, Phill Brown, Goetz.

Entertainment Weekly (6/4/99, pp.86-7) - "...[DIDO has] crafted a set of elegantly rockin' romantic yearners...swelling-stringed emoters...[that] create a lovely sonic intamacy." - Rating: B
Q (1/01, p.105) - 3 out of 5 stars - "...Showcases an ethereal yet rootsy sound best described as folk-hop....palatable if prosaic..."
CMJ (5/3/99, p.29) - "...The digital chanteuse, who, as a child, was trained in classical music is a subtly suductive vocalist..."

i can't believe i'm writing such a positive review for this album because i usually can't stand pop music, but this album is superb. mellow, rocky, poppy, it has everything. the best tracks are "thank you", "hunter", and "here with me". highly recommended by me (and thats saying something believe me). plus dido has a beautiful voice (and face). BUY THIS ALBUM!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No A+!
This CD has a perfect blend of rock/alternative, pop, and ambient. Dido has an angelic voice and I find the songs tell different stories and will sometimes make you feel like humming along, might perhaps make you feel like dancing, or just make you kick back and relax. It's a new avenue paved in the music world. I highly recommend it!

No Angel
$8.99
OOPS!... I DID IT AGAIN was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album. "Oops!...I Did It Again" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
This second album by the former Mouseketeer turned nymphet heartthrob breaks little new ground compared to BABY ONE MORE TIME. The formula here remains, deliberately, the same: a candy-colored mix of Eurodance, hip-hop, and old-fashioned pop ballads. As before, the lyrics split the difference between "Baby, I love you so bad," as in "Can't Make You Love Me," and "Sorry, I think of you just as a friend," in ...

Seldom has an album title been as appropriate as ALL THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND. Here, U2 returns to its pre-irony '80s glory days with a straightforward rock approach, leaving behind the electronics and intentional mock-decadence of POP and ZOOROPA. It quickly becomes clear however, ...

"Trinity Demask has one of those voices that gives your heart and spirit a double-take. Wonderful songwriting, great production. 'Crucible' is a gem!"- Wendy Wham, KUNC 91.5 FM Greeley, CO"After a seeming eternity between releases, Trinity Demask returns under her own name, with an album's worth of material that places her squarely in the ranks of singer-songwriters like Dar Williams and Jonatha Brooke." – Chris K., host of “The Colorado Sound” radio show (KRFC 88.9 FM, Fort Collins)The first thing that grabs you about Trinity Demask is her voice. Often drawing comparisons to the angelic, rootsy tones of Alison Krauss, Trinity’s voice can also pack a powerhouse punch reminiscent of blues rocker Susan Tedeschi. It is a voice perfectly suited to bring songs to life with heart and passion. Trinity honed that voice singing to her pets as a child and alone in her car as an adult, but when it came to singing to a human audience, fear of rejection kept her silent. “By the time I made my singing debut, I was in my thirties. I had always written poetry and stories, so songwriting wasn’t so much of a surprise, but my friends and family were shocked to learn that I had this voice that I’d been keeping secret. I’ve since discovered it’s not uncommon for people, especially women who tend to nurture others and put their own desires last, to have shelved talents or dreams. Finally, they reach a point in their mid-thirties or later when they ask themselves, ‘if not now, when?’”Trinity certainly has made up for lost time. She began performing professionally in 2001 just months after playing at her first open mic. From coffeehouses and bars to theaters and festivals, she steadily earned a devoted following who appreciated not only her music, but her disarming wit and humor. Her first CD “Venus In Retrograde” (released under her band name Third Road Home) was named “one of the best CDs of 2004” by the Indie Acoustic Project. Her bluegrass-infused tune “Whatever Is” was selected for the 2004 New Song Showcase at the popular Walnut Valley Festival and was included in mvyradio’s Fresh Produce #1 CD Sampler. The introspective collection of songs was lauded by reviewers and listeners alike for its intimate and conversational tone. “Listening to this CD is like a deep tissue massage, some lyrics hit hard, but it makes you feel released and strengthened in the end,” writes one. A casual listen reveals accessible songs that are rootsy, warm and sometimes edgy, with catchy melodies and insightful lyrics. But it is her distinctive voice that captures the listener on a deeper level, delivering inspiration, hope, and healing. In her new release “Crucible,” she explores themes of struggle, transcendence, and redemption with trademark clarity ...
