Dido - Life for Rent

Genre: Pop

Date acquired: 2025

Gift: No

I first discovered Dido back in primary school, through the intro song of the TV series Roswell. I was instantly hooked — her voice was so gentle and emotional. I quickly found out who she was, and from that moment on, if anyone asked me who my favorite singer was, I’d say Dido without hesitation.

I hadn’t listened to her music for years, but recently, I came across Life for Rent at the Médiathèque in Les Mureaux — free to take. I already knew and loved two songs from this album: “Life for Rent” and “White Flag.” Picking up that CD brought a rush of memories and feelings — it took me straight back to my childhood.

I listened to the album in the car with A. and Mini A., and it felt... perfect. Like my inner child was finally getting the chance to hear the full album for the first time. It was a deeply nostalgic and joyful experience.
