Dido has just released the brand new music video for her soul-bearing account of a breakup, "End of Night," the second single and third overall from English singer-songwriter's latest fourth studio album. "Girl Who Got Away." Over the span of four albums she's been committed to a singularity of vision and emotional purpose that flouts all traditional boundaries set for female artists. It's a feat in a music industry that constantly seeks to silence women from expressing 'ugly' emotions that Dido's never broken a sweat including them in each of her albums.
After a five-year absence, the 41-year-old pop veteran finally returns, and her voice sounds exactly as you remember it, soft and effortless, and her music remains quintessentially pleasant. One of the most interesting tracks, though, is herself and Greg Kurstin-produced synth pop magic, "End of Night," a cool and witty f**k off to a past lover. There is enough going on here to please old fans and just the right amount of experimentation for newer fans to appreciate. Welcome back girl!
This barbed wit of "End of Night," is a perfect example of that. It rumbles with dispassionate condescension over a lover too willfully careless to keep the beat of the emotional tango that was their relationship. Dido's voice is righteous in its arctic delivery. The self-emancipation song sees a stronger braver girl who is to face up to the reality of who her lover was and get away to celebrate the end of night. Speaking about the inspiration behind her new single "End of Night," she said: "Someone had really p***** me off, which is rare. It's about that moment of liberation when you finally realise you're not bothered anymore."
It was only a matter of time before English songstress Dido would crossover into EDM; god knows she has the vocals for it. This dynamic track might sound upbeat, but lyrically it is a rather vicious song about the breaking up of a relationship. On Twitter, Dido said "#endofnight the person i wrote this about is, well was, a friend... they have heard the song and love it and have no idea it's about them!" On Twitter @ShanLovegood_TW asked "what is your favourite part of #EndOfNight ?" Dido said "#endofnight you were ugly when the beat kicked in and ugly when it left... and the chorus! i wrote it in 2010 but i still love it. x."
