Post your questions for Beth Orton
Ahead of a new album in June, The Ground Above, the versatile singer-songwriter will answer your questions Careworn and careful, yet also full of romance and vitality, Beth Orton has one of the most distinctive singing voices in all of British music, and as she prepares to release her new album The Ground Above, she’ll be answering your questions. Born in Norfolk and brought up in east London, Orton made connections with rave royalty – Andrew Weatherall, the Chemical Brothers, William Orbit – and her platinum-selling debut album Trailer Park was never far from post-club gatherings in the wee hours, thanks to its blend of blissful acoustic pop and subtle electronic touches: Orton was duly nominated for two Brit awards and the Mercury prize. Follow-up Central Reservation leaned into a more full-bodied sound inflected with jazz and soul, and her third album, Daybreaker, took her into the UK
