Why is she special?
Her songs are smooth, lyrically sophisticated tributes to love and life. Even with topics that are sure to induce a gag reflex in most men, she's able to come off as infinitely listenable.
Why we know her?
Eminem's song "Stan" uses samples from Dido's "Thank You," which made her famous on both sides of the Atlantic. Another one of her songs "Here With Me" is the theme song for the popular TV show Roswell.
