    A return to form that shares DNA with Madonna's Ray Of Light, it combines Dido's introspection with meditative electronica. [May 2019, p.111]

    There's no leap forwards here but Still On My mind is the sound of a woman playing to her strengths and the good ship Dido remains reassuringly unsinkable. [Apr 2019, p.92]

    There's a touch of mum-at-the-disco about the dancier numbers, but the sweet acoustica of "Some Kind Of love" and the wispy electronica of the title track still underpin earwormy hooks that won't be denied. [Apr 2019, p.28]

    There is no earworm melody as insistent as “White Flag” here, but melancholic opener “Hurricanes” and single “Give It Up” boast that same persistent emotion. And, of course, there’s that voice: steadfastly pure and mellifluous, just as it sounded 20 years ago.

    More boring and pointless than Brexit.

This is a massiveStill On My Mind is by far Dido's most cohesive body of work, and I've got to say I'm more impressed than I expected to be. This is a massive improvement from her previous album, which had a lot of moving parts that incorporated more electronic elements, but as a whole it didn't really work. With this one, she really perfected the acoustic/electronica fusion---all the parts are moving in synchrony with one another and the overall product is polished and makes musical sense. The only issue I really take with the album is that somewhere in the middle it loses its momentum a bit (particularly with the tracks Mad Love and Walking By, which feel a bit disruptive to the track list, but I do still enjoy them). This album offers exactly the poignant lyrics and wispy melodies I'd expect from Dido, but surprisingly (and successfully) layers them over electronic soundscapes and vocal harmonies unlike anything else we've heard from her. It is familiar, but new. Easily her finest work.… Full Review »

Still On My Mind is the final evolution of Dido, with modern sounds but not too far away from Dido's old style. She managed to evolve herself while still being herself without losing her essence, which is absolutely a not so much easy thing to do. Still On My Mind has got personality, style and all the other things Dido gave us with her previous albums. Still On My Mind is by far my fav album of 2019. Take You Home is a Masterpiece!… Full Review »

I have heard the album and the accoustic versions of many of the songs on "Still on my mind" and it is mind blowing. Yes I sound like a fanatic but didn´t even bother to buy her last albums but this one is something different and I knew it from the moment I heard "Hurricanes".
    "Still on my mind" is a fantastic piece of work where you can see the evolution of Dido, it is mature , not ambitious but experimental, a balanced record. The best tracks: Hurricanes, Still on my mind, Hell After this, Mad Love and Some kind of love.    … Full Review »
