Dido Reveals Video For Single “Give You Up”

Dido is back!

Not sure you if you’re as excited about hearing Dido’s back in the music news as we are but, man! If you’re not familiar with the British singer-songwriter, she has a stellar catalog stemming back from the early MTV era. Dido’s debut album “No Angel” came out in 1999, and later it was sampled in one of Eminem’s more  famous tracks, “Stan.” The same one that birthed the slang “I atan this band” and “I stan you”. Over the next 14 years she released three more albums with a handful of hits but then she basically dropped off the face-of-the-earth.  She’s back and giving us a musical storyboard of the blank years. Recently she announced her fifth studio album and her first tour in 15 years as well as the first single from the album, Hurricanes. Fast forward to today and we are gifted yet again with her newest single, “Give You Up”.  Bring on the album!

She’s as excited as we are :

I have news! My new album, Still On My Mind, is out March 8th next year – and you can stream / download one song, Hurricanes, now. PLUS I’m going on tour for the first time in 15 years!! Can’t wait. Get all the info at https://t.co/MnW6e4mfdJ x pic.twitter.com/qrdaXI48Bu

Press Release:

Dido has released the beautifully shot video for her stunning new single “Give You Up”. Shot in both Paris and London, the video is directed by Sophie Muller (Björk, Beyoncé, Radiohead, Blur) and perfectly encapsulates the pain of heartbreak.

Incredibly empowering and moving, “Give You Up” was written by Dee Adam, Si Hulbert, and Australian duo The Opposite Kids (Denny Thakrar and Rob Agostini). “It’s just so perfect,” Dido said of the track. “It’s a good break up song, where you’ve been hurt but feel strong. It’s that point in a relationship where you are pulling yourself out of the gutter and deciding that it’s their loss. Which I can totally relate to.”

Still On My Mind is Dido’s 5^th studio album and was written and recorded in England, a result of the fruitful and incredibly natural production/songwriting partnership with her long term collaborator and brother (Faithless founder) Rollo.

The multi-million selling singer goes on a world tour throughout 2019 which includes several dates in the US:
