 Dido, alias Dido Florian Cloud De Bounevialle O'Malley Armstrong, is one of those pop stars who, after a couple of best-selling albums and a handful of chart-busting singles, slowly and quietly settle into the depths of lost memories.

 We are talking about an artist with crystalline talent and remarkable interpretative abilities, who did not achieve what she deserved, partly due to her own mistakes (the decision to stop collaborating with her brother was, in hindsight, not a wise move), and partly due to a market eager to discard what is no longer in fashion.

 With "Safe Trip Home", Dido proves to be a very interesting artist for the future, and in the end, the challenge of the third LP has been overcome very well.
