Beth Orton

08.07.2003

Live at Miles Davis Hall

 

In her native town of Norwich, north of London, Beth Orton killed time daydreaming. Today her dreams have turned into reality, as the young woman has become a flamboyant success. After various collaborations with princess Superstar and Chemical Brothers, the British artist takes over the reins of her solo career by delivering the superb Daybreaker, a collection of perfectly mastered folk songs. A plethora of stars (Ryan Adamy, Johnny Marr and Emmylou Harris) have taken part in this adventure, unfailingly succumbing to the call of this caressing-voiced siren. (FFJM © 2003)
