Dido does Dubstep! The White Flag singer is back in the
studio, and has a fresh new sound
She said: 'I felt really free on this record to make the music I want to make. There's a mixture of all the music I love from dance music, ambient, Dubstep, hip-hop, folk, pop - everything.
'All the things I like are on there and I guess that's why it's like a big circle, because that's really how I felt making my first record.'
She added: 'It just feels really fresh... I feel like a new artist but with confidence that I didn't have at the beginning.'
Changing moods: Dido insists that the new record is more
upbeat than her last 'darker' offering
Confident: Dido says that while she has the freshness of a
new artist, she has the confidence of a seasoned one
She's come a long way: Dido first made a name for herself
upon the release of No Angel back in 2001
Dido's first album No Angel, released in 2001, included hit tracks including Here With Me, Thank You and Hunter.
She then followed it up with Life For Rent in 2003, and the most recent album, Safe Trip Home, in 2008.
But Dido admits that when she recorded Safe Trip Home in 2008, she was in a 'darker place' - giving her songs a completely different tone.
Speaking from London's Abbey Road Studios, where she recorded her latest album, Dido said: 'The last album was a darker time. It was an amazing time in some ways and I loved making that record but it was also a darker time - the things I was writing about were a lot darker and I would say that there's a lot more upbeat stuff on this record.'
Explaining how she writes her songs, Dido added: 'I do really feel things deeply and that's why I write songs.
'The way I see the world, I guess, hasn't changed as far as a songwriter because I see things, I feel things... When people tell me things anywhere I've always really felt them and then, you know, I'd try and transfer how I see the world into song.'
Girl Who Got Away is due for release on March 4th.
