Elizabeth Caroline Orton, commonly known as Beth Orton, (born December 14, 1970), is an English singer-songwriter.
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.
