While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try Well how can I say I'm alive.

Life for Rent is the second studio album by British singer and songwriter Dido, released by Arista Records on 29 September 2003. The album was produced by Rollo Armstrong and American songwriter Rick Nowels. Work on the album began in mid-2002. It was certified 7 Platinum by the BPI; and sold over 12 million copies worldwide, making it the fourth best-selling album worldwide of 2003.

The title track of Dido's sophomore album, this was released as its second single with some success reaching the Top 10 in the UK, Ireland and Italy. The song was used to soundtrack pivotal moments in US TV series Smallville and Nikita Dido recalled the story of the song to Canada. com : "I wrote 'Life For Rent' in America," she said. I had basically run away from England at that point, for various reasons - I was being chased around a lot by the press and also I had just ended this relationship and stuff - and wrote pretty much the whole album while I was in America. This song was one of the first songs I wrote there and it still resonates with me.

Life for Rent doesn't offer anything that drastically different from Dido's debut album, No Angel - the dance beats are marginally fresher, the production is clean and new - but this predictibility is actually rather refreshing because the album delivers on its promise, unlike many sophomore affairs in 2003. That its promise is rather modest doesn't really matter, since Dido is successful at modest songs. She has a sweet, warm voice and a knack for tuneful modern folk-pop that sounds intimate while being confidently catchy and nicely atmospheric

The singles "White Flag" and "Sand in My Shoes" typify the tone and character of the other tracks. 2 people found this helpful.

Life For Rent breaks no new ground, and while the publicity machine proffers a failed Dido romance as its inspiration, the album retains her debut's style yet without its wonderfully miserable substance. Dido has produced absolutely the greatest and finest CD of 2003 with Life For Rent. Hit single White Flag is just the beginning of an album Dido has produced absolutely the greatest and finest CD of 2003 with Life For Rent. Hit single White Flag is just the beginning of an album crammed to the brim with wonderful, atmospheric classic ballads like "Don't Leave Home" and "This Land Is Mine. Dido also experiments with dance and electronica on songs such as "Stoned" and "Sand In My Shoes.
