Beth Orton (born Elizabeth Caroline Orton on 14 December 1970, England) is one the best singer-songwriters ever.

She is known for her "folktronica" sound, which mixes folk and electronica (her latest albums are more folk than electronica).

Also she won Best Female Artist award at the 2000 BRIT Awards and was nominated at Mercury prize twice.

 

She collaborated with William Orbit, The Chemical Brothers and others.

Beth is very very talented and I can say I like almost all her songs. B)

 

Discography:

- 5 studio albums: SuperpinkyMandy, Trailer Park, Central Reservation, Daybreaker, Comfort of Strangers

- 1 remix album: Another Side of the Daybreak

- 1 greatest hits: Pass in Time - the Definitive Collection

- 2 EPs: Best Bit, Concrete Sky

- 12 singles

 

Beth will release a new album this year.

love 'she cries your name'... its haunting, wistful.. excellant.

Same here!

Did you know there is another great version (more electronic feel) on her real debut album Superpinkymandy?

 

This album is very rare (only 5000 copies, released in Japan) and pretty weird, Beth don't consider this as her debut ^_^

I listened to it (mp3s) and I was really impressed by this album (produced by William Orbit).

Talking about William Orbit: Beth also featured on a fantastic song entitled Water From a Vine Leaf (on the second half of this song) from William's album Strange Cargo III

7 minutes of pure bliss!

 

 

 

PS BTW William Orbit was (still is?) her husband :P

year she's great but its a good deal she didnt arrive in 2007 or 2008 as some eejit journo would have to come up with an ugly hyphenated word that combined folk and synthpop to describe her...yeah "folktronica" (and lets hope none of that folk-tronica business :puke2: )
