Dido is out with the music video to her new single ‘Don’t Believe In Love’, directed by Ben Unwin, the first release off the British singer songwriter’s third studio album ‘Safe Trip Home’, out now on Cheeky Records. Watch it below.
For the release of Dido’s third studio album, ‘Safe Trip Home’, the British singer songwriter is releasing 11 short films based thematically around the concept of home. “I wanted every song to have its own video or film to represent the album as a whole,” Dido explained. “I love seeing how someone else might interpret a song that is so specific and personal to me. It’s an experiment I’ve been really enjoying, watching the songs be turned on their heads by these beautiful emotional visual stories that are coming out of it.” Watch the first four films at safetriphome.com.
Dido answered a few fan questions on her official web site, DidoMusic.com, including which is the favorite song from her new album ‘Safe Trip Home’, coming out November 18th. “That changes every day and is the same with the other records,” the British singer songwriter responded. “At the moment, though, I still love listening to it as a whole piece. I spent a while choosing the order of the 11 songs I picked (from a big bunch) and meant it to be a bit of a journey and so I’m still just putting it on at the beginning and going with it. Songs change for me as time goes on. That’s one of the things I love about writing – how a song can change its meaning for me over the years even though I was being specific at the time.”
The following update has been posted over at Dido’s MySpace blog regarding her forthcoming third album:
Unfortunately, due to manufacturing delays, the release of ‘Safe Trip Home’ has had to be moved back a couple of weeks. It will now be released on November 17th worldwide (November 18th in the US).

Footage of Dido in the studio as the British singer songwriter worked on her forthcoming album ‘Safe Trip Home’ has been posted online. “One of the things I wanted to do this time was just sort of go with something and trust it,” Dido explained, “and trust a lot in my first instincts.” Watch the clip via YouTube below.
Britney Spears is looking towards Dido to pen songs for a new album, a Jive Records source tells Neil Sean of Sky News. “They have history after Dido wrote ‘I’m Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman’ for a previous album,” the insider said. Neil says Dido had great things to say about the pregnant pop princess. “She was the sweetest thing. I totally enjoyed the experience of working with her,” Dido said.
In preparation for her follow-up to 2003′s ‘Life for Rent’, Dido confessed to MTV News recently that she’s been doing a whole lot of partying. “I have to say I spent last year just having a good time,” Dido said. “I sort of traveled and partied. In a way, I just wanted something to write about.” Read more.
After teaming up on ‘Stan’, Neil Sean of Sky News hears that Dido and Eminem are talking about teaming up for another original tune. “It would be a song we both write this time so we have double the impact,” Dido said. “He’s a far greater songwriter than he gives himself credit for and we gel very well in that respect.”
