How nice, Dido actually answered one of her fans, I bet it was someone from Dido-France.com

but I was surprised to spot this about a couple of minutes ago. Also, Dido has uploaded a picture of her and her brother at the studio.

And also Dido is working not only with A. R. Rahman, but also with Jason Mraz. She's actually writing most of his songs on his new album (No Name has been given yet). Other than that Dido was also interviewed by M6 Music. This is what happened:

M6 Music: How do you explain your tremendous success?
Dido: I made this album (note: No Angel) after a long shot. I have a good label, good management around me, but I'm also conscious of having much luck. Everything was well shackled in my career, even if it took time. But I waited to pay attention to me, I have earned the fans gradually, and now I enjoy.

M: The success of your album "No Angel", although released before that of Eminem, was finally late enough?
D: Yes, my album is released in June 1999 in the United States. It did not work right away because I was at the time in a somewhat tense with my record company. So I went in a big American tour to let me know. The album began to start in the charts, and this is the moment chosen by Eminem (good timing!) To sample my song Thank you Stan on its title. From that moment it was created in the press in the United States a great hype around me, one year after the album's release, and it then spread around the world.

M: The success of Stan is mainly due to him or you?
D: I think it is the combination of both. It's just a perfect combination. But we must say that it was he who chose my title for Stan. I do not offer him the sample, it was he who decided to take it and who built the song around. I think it is a communion between our two musics, and it worked.

M: Are not you a little angry against those who insinuate that without the sample of Eminem, you would have any success?
D: If of course ... but go about it. In fact it was nice. Anyway, it's a good thing for me that so many people have listened to my record. But it is true that I do not appreciate very much that some have suggested that nothing would have happened to me if there had been no Eminem. That would mean that there is nothing else of value on my album, so that the sample represents only five rows away. For me it's about my music. But all this does not mean much. What matters most is that I was very lucky.There are so many interesting things out and remain ignored. But it's cool, I like the song, I like Stan and it was nice to be included.

M: You were raised in a strict enough. It serves you now?
D: Yes, I think it gave me a disciplined life. I want to do my job seriously. I am someone who likes to control things, which always likes to do his best to try to write the best songs constantly, singing the best. What gave me the discipline, the need to do and always have more, to always be the best. It may sound horrible, but I improved from my childhood when I was completely obsessed with this point of view, to be almost sickly. But I am always guided by the discipline.

M: You're not afraid of getting a big head?
D: You know, if it happens, I do not even know because I would have a big head (laughs). But I have great friends who do not pass me and I fall over if I start to change ever so slightly. They will say: "Do not do it, do not become a bitch." So I can not tell you if I see them telling them that I demanded one thing or another. My friends would be embarrassed if I took the big head, and that I do not particularly want. God thank you, I am lucky to have them, because it's really not easy to keep a cool head in this industry where there is a lot of people who are considerate, which are at your disposal when you're on stage or on TV, or whatever you do elsewhere. You can ask and demand anything you want. One must be very careful not to go too far.

M: Your brother Rollo, Faithless member of the project, co-produced "No Angel". Is it easy to work with his own brother?
D: Very easy. Our relationship and our relationship to music has changed over time. When I started with Faithless, I was his little sister, I learned a lot from him, his production and his way of working. And then I started writing my album and things have changed because it was primarily my own project. And now, our relationships change again because Rollo evolves into something completely different from what it was before. We tested new songs for the next album by Faithless and it was great. I will work with him on my next CD.

That's all the news I got about Dido. However if I find anything else on her latest album or if she posts anything about any tours, I will let EVERYONE know about it :)
