"It's enough of a surprise on the day." Dido is due to have her first child this summer. It already has been a big year: She was nominated for an Academy Award for best song for co-writing "If I Rise" from the movie "127 Hours," and is finishing up a new album.
"I'm nearly done," she said last month about her coming album. "Music will just start coming out as this year goes on." Dido, perhaps best known for the song "Thank You," which was sampled by Eminem for "Stan," said her new record brings her back to her electronic roots. She is once again working with her brother, Rollo Armstrong, as well as other producers. "It's been a thoroughly enjoyable record," she said.
"It's a real mix, and in a funny sort of way, it's a mix of everything, some sort of big electronic extravaganza. It's much more electronic than the last record."
