Dido's 1999 debut is a master class in mood. Above arrangements that fuse electronic beats with acoustic guitars and atmospheric strings, the singer/songwriter's voice soothes and calms as she relays tales of love, loneliness and surmounting self-doubt. The album's most iconic track, "Thank You", was soon sampled on Eminem's controversial hit "Stan". But the power of its original incarnation remains as Dido takes the listener from a scene of rain-flecked depression to a vision of the perfect love.
