Dido's not really that bothered if people think her music is dull

  • January 22, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

Dido newControversy magnet Dido really couldn't care less if people think her music is depress­ing or dull.

Asked by Music Week why critics think her music is a bit boring given that she's worked with people like Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and, er, Faithless, the 'Everything to Lose' hitmaker replied:

"Who knows? Maybe they don’t know about my begin­nings. You know, that tag has always zoomed over my head a little bit, it just feels so irrel­ev­ant to me."

"My first response when people used to say that about my music always used to be: 'You know what? Turn it up!' Music’s so sub­ject­ive and I can’t control what people like. I’ll keep doing what I do and I guess people will make their own judgements."

If, like us, you were wondering what Dido thinks of Adele well the wait is over.

"She’s amazing; a beautiful voice that moves you singing great songs that resonate with people," roared the contrary hellraiser.
