Dido is penning a special song for Dirrty singer Christina Aguilera.
The mild-mannered star, who wrote hit, I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman for Christina's rival Britney Spears, has been asked to write a track suitable for the pop star's new, toned-down image.
The as yet unnamed single, which will be included on Aguilera's third album due out later this year, has been described as "retro" and "gritty".
Christina, 24, said of the record by 33-year-old Dido: "It's a retro
blues-soul-jazz-record. It's really gritty and raw."
Meanwhile, Dido, who is set to appear at this summer's Live 8 charity show, is currently supposed to be on a one-year break from performing - so she can travel the world in search of musical inspiration.
She said earlier this year: "I'm going to spend the year travelling and
writing. I want to work on a new album and enjoy it properly, so I'm going to head off.
"Asia would be cool, I think I'd like to go back to New Zealand for quite a while, because that was beautiful. Might go to South Africa.
"There's loads of places I want to go to... what a great life, eh? I want to see as much as I can."
