Safe Trip Home is the third studio album by Dido. It was released in the United Kingdom on 17 November, 2008.[1] The album features collaborations and production with Jon Brion, her brother Rollo Armstrong, Brian Eno, Mick Fleetwood, Citizen Cope and Questlove.[2]
Background and production
On the day the album title was announced, 22 August 2008, the album track, "Look No Further", was released as a free digital download through her official website.[4] The lead single from Safe Trip Home, "Don't Believe in Love", was scheduled to be released as a download on 26 October and on CD format on 27 October in the UK, but it was made available on iTunes stores internationally from September 29.[3] The album's cover artwork and track listing was revealed by Dido's official website on September 5, 2008.[5] The album was originally due to be released on November 3 [3][4] but was delayed for two weeks due to manufacturing delays.[1] As compensation, Dido's official website uploaded the album track "Grafton Street" (co-produced with Brian Eno) for online streaming on October 3.[1]
Releases and promotion
A deluxe 2-disc edition of the album is planned, also to be released on iTunes, featuring 3 bonus tracks not included on the standard version of the album. The second disc is also due to include an enhanced version of the 11 minute electronic press kit that was uploaded to Dido's official site, and sent out to the media, to promote the launch of the record. It is also scheduled to include 4 Dido postcards, and be packaged in a deluxe digipak.[6]
In the UK, the album launch is being heralded with a special listening party, which fans can win an invitation to through the Nectar loyalty card points scheme when they download the track "Look No Further" through the Nectar music download site.[7]
The album cover features a photograph of astronaut Bruce McCandless II during a spacewalk, as part of space shuttle mission STS-41-B.[citation needed]
On 27 October, it was announced that 11 short films were being produced to accompany the 11 tracks on the album, based around the theme of home; of these, 6 have been produced so far and are available to watch on the album's website here.
