Album Review: Dodie – ‘Human’

7 February 2019

By Laurie

Dodie Pic

HUMAN is a seven-track album from singer-songwriter Dodie released on January 18th. The EP, which is the third from the singer, was preceded
by the songs ‘Human’ and ‘If I’m being Honest’.

Dodie is known for her mixture of acoustics, piano and soft electronic music, and her innovative use of rhythms. Dodie has always stood out as an excellent writer, with her music coming mostly from personal experiences and struggles.

‘Arms Unfolding’, for example, is the story of two friends getting to know each other again after an argument. The melodies are lovely to listen to, but if you listen to the lyrics you’ll hear a tapestry of abuse, recovery and truly, what makes us human.

If you are interested in seeing Dodie perform live, she kicks off a UK leg of her world tour on March 13th in Bristol, concluding in London on March 24th at the Roundhouse. Tickets are available online from usual retailers.

  • Food Food Review: Las Iguanas, Newcastle
    4/5 If you love a good theme, Las Iguanas is a restaurant you might like to try. The Latin American-style chain has restaurants all over the country, but I recently popped into the one on Grey Street just down from the Theatre Royal. As always, the restaurant itself is pristine and the atmosphere is super […]

  • Books Book Review: 1984 by George Orwell
    1/5 1984 is always cited as one of the best books ever written. It’s supposed to be intelligent, sharp and profound. Instead, I found it to be dull, rambling and unremarkable. Oh, and rampantly sexist. George Orwell was clever – I’ve read his essays and I like them. But 1984? It was hard to believe […]
