About
Elizabeth Caroline Orton (born 14 December 1970) is an English musician. Known for her "folktronica" sound, which mixes elements of folk and electronica, she was initially recognised for her collaborations with William Orbit, Andrew Weatherall, Red Snapper and the Chemical Brothers in the mid-1990s. Her UK/US first solo album, Trailer Park, received much critical acclaim in 1996. Orton developed a devoted audience with the release of the BRIT Award-winning album Central Reservation (1999) and the 2002 UK top 10 album, Daybreaker. Her 2006 album, Comfort of Strangers, was followed by a break during which Orton gave birth to her daughter and collaborated with the British guitarist Bert Jansch. Orton returned with Sugaring Season in 2012, which moved towards a purer acoustic sound, followed by a return to electronic music with Kidsticks, released in 2016.
Orton's music has been featured in the movies How to Deal and Vanilla Sky, and also in the TV series Felicity, Charmed, Dawson's Creek, Roswell, Grey's Anatomy and Manifest, providing her with exposure to a more mainstream American audience.

Elizabeth Caroline Orton, plus connue sous le nom de Beth Orton, est une auteure-compositrice-interprète britannique. Née le 14 décembre 1970, elle est connue pour sa musique « folktronica », mélange d'éléments de la folk et de l'electronica.
Sa collaboration avec William Orbit et les Chemical Brothers lui permet de se faire connaître dès le milieu des années 1990, bien qu'elle ait déjà enregistré quelques morceaux auparavant. Son premier album solo SuperPinkyMandy sort en 1993 au Japon uniquement. Son deuxième album solo Trailer Park enthousiasme la critique à sa sortie en 1996. Mais c'est avec les albums Central Reservation (1999) et Daybreaker (classé dans le top 10 des charts anglais en 2001) que se développe son réseau de fans. L'album sorti en 2006 Comfort of Strangers marque un virage encore plus accentué vers la folk, Orton délaissant les sonorités électroniques des albums précédents. Ses chansons peuvent être entendues dans de nombreux films et shows TV américains, comme Felicity, How to Deal ou encore Vanilla Sky. Grâce à cela, la popularité que Beth Orton a acquise au Royaume-Uni au fil des ans commence à gagner les États-Unis.
