Beth Orton Tickets Continued
Beth Orton's debut album was the difficult-to-find
Superpinkymandy, which was released in Japan alone. Some of
its material was recycled for her worldwide debut, Trailer
Park, which was released on Heavenly Records in 1996 and earned
her nominations for two Brit awards and the Mercury Music Prize in
1997. Beth Orton toured that summer with Lilith Fair, as well
as releasing the Best Bit EP. Her next album, Central
Reservation, was released in 1999 and led to her Best British
Female award at the 2000 Brit Awards. She was also shortlisted for
the Mercury Music Prize for the effort.
Beth Orton is well known for her collaboration (stemming
from a relationship) with William Orbit in which she lends her voice
for the Strange Cargo albums. The best-known Strange
Cargo track featuring Beth Orton singing lead is probably
"Water from a Vine Leaf". She also collaborated with American pop
artist Beck
on his Midnite Vultures album, providing backing vocals
on the track "Beautiful Way".
In July 2002, Beth Orton released the album
Daybreaker, followed in 2003 by The Other Side of
Daybreak, an album consisting mainly of remixes of songs from
Daybreaker, created by artists such as Roots Manuva. A
double-album "Best Of" album, entitled Pass In Time, was
released in 2003. Beth Orton's fourth studio album, Comfort
of Strangers, was released in February 2006. The release sees her
move away from the electronica element that she is usually associated
with, to a more traditional alt-folk album.
