Overview


Perhaps best described as a folk/electronica artist, the six-foot-tall Orton was born in East Dereham, Norfolk, and moved to East London at age 14. Orton found success as a musician late, having been more interested in acting during her early career. She first gained notice for her vocals on the Chemical Brothers' track "Alive Alone" and 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 singing lead is probably "Water from a Vine Leaf". Orton also collaborated with American pop artist Beck on his Midnite Vultures album, providing backing vocals on the track "Beautiful Way".
