As we peel back the layers of Dido's debut, you'll find yourself chuckling over our banter, which ranges from voyeuristic sleep observations to satirical political commentary. The musicality of "No Angel" gets under the microscope, revealing Dido's trip-hop influences and the raw emotion that makes her music a balm for the soul. Whether it's dissecting the memento-esque qualities of her hits or appreciating the spoken word artistry, we delve into what makes each song tick and the musicians who've played a part in shaping this seminal work.
Lastly, we tie a bow on our journey by sharing rankings and discussing those underrated gems that resonate on a deeply personal level. From the emotional tug of "My Lover's Gone" to the subtle nuance of "Honestly Okay," we explore the songs that may have slipped under the radar but have left an indelible mark on our hearts. And for a moment, we're back in the era of trance beats and achingly tender lyrics, with a nod to music legends like Paul Oakenfold. So join us as we celebrate the album that bridged the gap between decades and continues to captivate listeners around the world.

And so I was just getting on with that and but definitely it was like whoa, what just happened, I mean, and I was not prepared for it in any way whatsoever and actually would never be.
Speaker 2:Alright, thank you for listening to the greatest non-hit. I'm Chris and playing I don't know. Thank you, yeah, thank you from Honestly okay.
Speaker 2:Honestly okay sorry, honestly okay from Didos debut album. No, angel is my co-host, tim, so thank you all for listening. As you always do every week, this is a. I think this is like part two of the, the female-friendly line of podcasts from the 90s decade that we're gonna be embarking upon the coming weeks. So again, thank you for listening.
Speaker 2:This is the debut studio album by Dido. It was released on June 1st of 1999 here in the US, I think February of 01 in the UK. But huge commercial success, massive Sold over 21 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best selling albums in music history. So, given the fact that it kind of feels, though, like a 2000s album, but it was actually released in 1999. So we'll, I guess, kind of to put it into perspective. We did Edie Burkelle, which was the an 89 album but felt more like it was in the 90s, and then for this week, with Dido being a 2000s thing but technically in 99, we figured we'll bookend those too. So we've got a lot in store.
Speaker 2:This album has five singles from it. There's like don't think of me. There's thank you. That was the. That was the song that she, that she used to collaborate. I think it was sampled by Eminem and his Grammy winning song Stan. So we've got that as a hit. We've got don't think of me and hear with me as singles.
Speaker 2:The song Hunter is a single. The song All you Want was a single. So there's 12 tracks in all from this album. Those five that I just mentioned I think those are the first five of the first six songs on the album. All together, I think track number four is a non hit and then the songs seven through twelve are all the non hit. So we're gonna listen to all these songs. We're gonna provide our you know, provide our thoughts as we go along, give our, give our impressions, give our you know, just kind of yuck it up along the way, got some sound clips we're gonna play, we're gonna have fun. Then at the end we're gonna rank our top three non hit. So I'm excited. I'm excited.
Speaker 2:Yeah, tim is, this is more of his, his deal. He's, he knows this album. He knows exactly what his top three are. I'm, you know, a little bit on the fence with several, but I think this is one of those albums. Also, I've listened to it all together maybe about two or three times from end to end, and it's usually like the fourth or fifth listen on an album where things start to click and I think you know, bringing you all in and listening to it with Tim. I think he's gonna. I think, you know, along the way it's gonna become more clear as to what my top three are.
Speaker 2:But what a like sultry voice it's. There's a lot of loss, there's a lot of depression, but it's the mood in that the album has strikes a chord for sure because of the. The emotion in this album, you know, is palpable and it's very authentic and it's very real but at the same time beautiful and sexy. Sultry, yeah, I think. Boom, how are from? King of the Hill had it right, you know, when. I think it was something that he sort of played and I think it left Bill Doe tree a little angry when he would bring over a girl that he liked.
Speaker 4:I got a pack of winter yeah, so anyway, actually boom.
Speaker 2:How was the creed in all that? But a do tree was was creeping as well, but nevertheless, yeah, it's gonna be a good album if we look through some of the rankings, or I guess.
Speaker 2:I think it reached number 16 in the UK no, the top adult top 40 charts. It peaked at 16, while becoming a top 10 hit on the dance charts in America. This is like in June of 2001, so it took a while after release. I think they even recorded it between 1995 in 1999. So I find it interesting that a lot of the creativity was done earlier on and then it became more popular in the subsequent decade and apparently I she wrote a lot of this with her brother Roland Rolland, rallo Rolo I don't know Rallo is typically it went ROL, I think, of Sanford, and son Tim thinks of the the candy Rolo's.
Speaker 2:Apparently Ditto thinks of her brother, so I guess it's that's her. So we got some cruel intention stuff coming later. I don't really know much else I could mention. She was born on Christmas, so she's Christmas baby. She had a really long name. It had like six or seven different, you know words in it or something, I don't know, but she's from the Islington, london, islington suburb, province or borough, what have you. But anyway, she must be the pride because so a lot of albums for sure. So ninth best-selling album of the 21st century, that's in the UK, nominated for the best British album of the previous 30 years by the Brit Awards in 2010, ultimately losing to what's the story Morning Glory by Oasis she was a really big company.
Speaker 2:I think she's more popular in UK. She was in the US, but when she did her collaboration with Eminem, instant street cred and good stuff.
Speaker 2:So I think some of these things were in Roswell, something like that. I don't know like to show Roswell. It's a television series, something, thank you was released as a single number 18 December 2000. So what else can I say about this? It's a blend of pop called trip hop and folk music. I'd say it's very introspective. I'll give it that it was widely praised by critics. So I think her brother, rallo, was in the electronic group Faithless and he, I guess he was a respected producer. Just seems kind of weird that you write songs and produce an album with your brother. But you know it was really professionally well done. So hey, you can't, you can't knock it and it's selling all time. So yeah, tim's gonna wrap up and we're gonna get into the album. The album cover is a close-up shot of Dido with her eyes closed and her face partially obscured by her hand. So I did not see that coming nice. So anyway, yeah, with, without further ado, my bro James here, how you doing bud?
Speaker 3:good, my waistband is a little too tight for my Del Monica and bread that I scarfed down for dinner. But you know, let's get into this choice.
Speaker 2:Little moment for for bros or bros. With this album here we are gonna have a taste of choice moment for bros. But wait a second. Let's go back to the Del Monaco.
Speaker 3:Let's just you know, I listen to this tender tender album over a tell tender Del Monaco what was more time? To do.
Speaker 3:Well, I guess it all comes out the same way, but that's great out all right, no, but Dido is a forbidden fairy princess with using her modern-day female warrior vocal pipes as her weapon here. Just to really, she can even romance a can of hind's beans and just pop it open on the floor. So in a number of just matter of seconds, really, the beans everywhere. So get out your mop. Bean lovers. Tea drinkers, make a little Irish breakfast with our steak and eggs after a night of drinking and listen to this with us here yeah, it does kind of sound like music that you'd listen to while you're still drunk from the night before.
Speaker 3:Something like that, yes, we're just gonna verbally fart all over this album. Yeah, no, no, there sound eclipse yeah, it's an aesthetic, it's.
Speaker 2:This album is a.
Speaker 3:It's an aesthetic more than just it's an aesthetic, so yeah, that's a good way to put it. Yeah, it's an atmosphere.
Speaker 2:It's an atmosphere yeah, but still like the songs are solid on their own, so I fear that Dido is not getting enough sleep.
Speaker 3:When she's recording this, you know she's watching other people sleep. Yeah, yeah, she's, I don't know.
Speaker 4:Oh boom howard.
Speaker 3:Okay, she's getting boom.
Speaker 1:Howard that's right, whoa what just happened. I mean Okay, um, all right.

She might not even want to call her friends, Okay. Okay. Yeah, it's kind of a memento feel here. It does kind of Are bond bond theme bond movie. Yes, Change your memory.
Speaker 4:I can't make new memories, everything just fades.
Speaker 2:It's got a very yeah memento kind of a vibe.
Speaker 4:I can't breathe until you're resting here with me.
