"IF I RISE", DIDO: NOMINADA A ÓSCAR A LA MEJOR CANCIÓN / Nominated for Oscar for Best Song

Dido


Dido ha sido nominada al Óscar a la Mejor Canción Original por "IF I RISE" ("Si me levanto"), tema original de la película "127 HORAS". La canción fue compuesta por A.R. Rahman (ya nominado por "SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE") y con la letra de la propia Dido y su hermano Rollo. La canción suena esporádicamente en momentos clave a lo largo de la película y suena al completo durante los créditos finales. ¡Mucha suerte para Dido y Rahman! (Incluimos audio del tema y entrevista a Dido tras la noticia de su página web y una nota de última hora: Dido está embarazada y no irá a Los Ángeles, pero grabará un video para "If I rise" y habrá nuevo álbum suyo este año).

Dido has been nominated for the Oscar to Best Original song for "IF I RISE", original song of the film "127 HOURS". The song was written by A.R. Rahman (already nominated for "SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE") and with lyrics by Dido and her brother Rollo. The song plays sporadically at key moments during the film’s climax and finally plays in full over the closing credits. Good luck to Dido & Rahman! (We're enclosing audio of the song and interview with Dido after the news from her website and a last minute note: she's expecting a baby so she won't be going to LA, but she'll be shooting a video for "If I rise" and there'll be a new album from her this year).

"I NEARLY FELL OFF MY CHAIR"

[Entrevista/Interview didomusic.com] Following this week's amazing news that If I Rise has been nominated for the Best Song Oscar, we gave Dido a shout to find out a bit more about collaborating with A.R. Rahman, being on the 127 Hours soundtrack and plans for album #4.

- Hi Dido, congratulations on the Oscar nomination. Where were you when you found out about it? I was in a restaurant and a friend texted me. I nearly fell off my chair.

- Presumably you're pretty pleased?I'm so pleased. It's a proper honour and getting to work with someone as brilliant as A.R. Rahman on a Danny Boyle movie is a bit of a dream come true anyway. Way back when, the 'Trainspotting' soundtrack was probably one of the musical moments that influenced me the most. I actually wrote 'Here With Me' which was my first song over a track on there. Danny Boyle has always done incredible music in his films I think, and I'm a huge A.R. Rahman fan anyway. A.R. Rahman’s whole soundtrack to this film is beautiful and I’m properly proud to be a part of it.

- Have you spoken to A.R. Rahman since the nomination was announced?I have, I spoke to him yesterday. What a lovely guy. Very inspiring.Of course, this is just one of six awards that 127 Hours is up for.

- Did you expect it to do so well when you became involved? To be honest I'd only read the book when I first got involved. I was working with A.R on something else anyway and he mentioned that he was working on a soundtrack. He told me the story of the film and I realised I actually already had Aron Ralston's book at home because it had interested me. I went home, read the book properly which was very moving and very inspiring, and then went back in and did the track. A.R. explained where in the film the track would be and it felt like the 'no lyrics' lyrics in the verses were the right thing to do as it wouldn't interfere with what was going on in the scene too much. I didn't think too much more of it other than that it was a great experience to work with A.R. and a beautiful piece of music. I didn't actually see the film for the first time until recently when everything was finished.

- And what did you think of the film?I was blown away by it. As I'd read the book I was pretty intrigued as to how Danny Boyle was going to get round the fact that it's one guy stuck in a rock for the whole film. He did it absolutely brilliantly. I was so drawn in from the word go, really moved and riveted and actually found it pretty exhilarating and inspiring by the end. The way it was shot just draws you right in and I felt a bit like I was cutting my own arm off at the pivotal scene. I hope I'd be able to have the human strength to do the same thing in the same situation! My hiking holiday in Utah wasn't nearly as exciting though...

- This is a great start to 2011 for you. Is it looking like you'll finish the new album this year too?The new album should be finished soon. Very excited about it. We've had a lot of fun doing it. I've done a lot of stuff with Rollo here in the UK and then I spent some time in California over the summer and wrote a load of songs there with a different flavour that I love. Driving round California is about the most inspiring thing for me I think. I got to work with some great people there too - Jeff Bhasker, Greg Kurstin, Rick Nowels again. Happy days.

- Would you like to work with A.R. Rahman again?I'd absolutely love to. We have done another track and I just need to finish the lyrics on that and we'll get that finished and I'd love to do more with him. He's an amazing human being to be around and incredibly talented and I learnt a lot from the short time we already spent together. His melodies are absolutely beautiful. I realised I'd never actually sung another person's melody as one of my songs and he writes melodies I could never write but I just love singing. Especially when you get more of the Indian scale in there. It's not dissimilar to Irish music and so it really resonates with me and moves me.

- Do you have any other collaborations lined up?I certainly do. Too early to say for sure as I don't want to jinx things but there are things going on hopefully!

- Finally, if you win, where do you think you'd put the statuette?Where everyone can see it. :-) It would be pretty unbelievable to win an Oscar.

NOTE FROM DIDO [06/02/2011]

Hello everyone,It’s been a month of amazing news for me and now I have some more to share. Me and my husband rohan are expecting a baby and we’re beyond happy and excited about it. So as some of you already know, I won’t be able to travel to LA for the oscars ceremony to perform ‘if I rise’. Obviously I’m really gutted about not being there – going to the oscars has literally been a dream of mine since I was about 9 - but I’m absolutely thrilled that the wonderful florence welch has agreed to step in and sing the song. I can’t wait to hear her sing it as I’m a huge fan of hers and she’ll sound amazing. I will definitely be watching the whole thing live on tv and texting rollo (who is going to be at the ceremony. But not singing... Thankfully... :-)) Also, me and AR are going to be filming a video for ‘if I rise’ next week which I’m really looking forward to.Love, dxxx
