More on the new track “Chances” from the new album STILL ON MY MIND out March 8th:

Dido releases “Chances” a new track from her forthcoming album “Still On My Mind” out March 8th via BMG. Preview Chances.

Says Dido, “It’s called Chances and I wrote it for a friend who was having a hard time, to remind them tomorrow is another day and another chance.”

Check out the stunning new video for ‘Give You Up’ Shot in both Paris and London, the video is directed by Sophie Muller (Björk, Beyoncé, Radiohead, Blur) and perfectly encapsulates the pain of heartbreak. Watch the video for ‘Give You Up’ HERE

Incredibly empowering and moving, ‘Give You Up’ was written by Dee Adam, Si Hulbert and Australian duo The Opposite Kids (Denny Thakrar and Rob Agostini). “It’s just so perfect,” Dido said of the track. “It’s a good break up song, where you’ve been hurt but feel strong. It’s that point in a relationship where you are pulling yourself out of the gutter and deciding that it’s their loss. Which I can totally relate to.”

‘Still On My Mind’ is Dido’s 5^th studio album and was written and recorded in England, a result of the fruitful and incredibly natural production/songwriting partnership with her long term collaborator and brother (Faithless founder) Rollo.

The multi-million selling singer goes on a world tour throughout 2019 which includes several dates in the US:

June 13 – Chicago, IL – Vic Theatre
