THE REVIEW
The blonde angel of international pop music is back on the scene.
Dido, who enchanted us a couple of years ago with her ethereal voice in "Here With Me" and "Thank You" (a song sampled by Eminem in his Stan), returns to offer us new songs, sung with that lightness that distinguishes her...
The album contains 11 new songs plus a ghost track, and it definitely does not make us miss the previous debut of the blonde English singer...
This album has a more serene feel, less heavy than the songs from her previous work; simple songs, full of optimism, reflections, and good intentions...
The first single "White Flag" is perfect for radio airplay, but the album contains other little gems starting with the title track "Life For Rent," which could be a great second single. But her fans, both old and new, will not be disappointed by songs like "Mary's in India," "Stoned," "See You When You're 40," and "Don't Leave Home."
An album to listen to over and over again, certainly not innovative, but very, very enjoyable.

Dido is still in love, damn it. And she has no intention of stopping.
Call Dido an artist, because someone who writes 'It's hard sometimes not to look away...' and sings like this deserves that title.
By Kecco
The song that stands out the most for the beauty and romanticism of the album is definitely "White Flag."
Unlike other singers, Dido has always been professional, never seen taking a microphone and shouting 'so who’s the best??!' She just sings, doesn’t show off.
