Perhaps best described as a folk/electronica artist, Beth Ortonwas 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 in 1995 for her vocals on The Chemical Brothers' track "Alive Alone" and is well known for her collaboration (stemming from a relationship) with William Orbitin which she lends her voice for the Strange Cargoalbums. The collaboration with Orbit named SuperPinkyMandy, though of excellent sound, was only released in very limited numbers in Japan. Orton's first solo album, Trailer Park, was released in 1996.

Carmella Lyrics
Beth Orton
There's something kinda funny 'bout a man making money
Off a blonde haired blue eyed girl
He's got a child at home who he likes to leave alone
For his blonde haired blue eyed girl
Carmell, where you gonna run to
When the sky comes crashing in on you
Slow down, who you gonna turn to
When there's nothing left for you to prove
And I can't control myself
And I won't be no one else
No I can't control myself
And I wouldn't want to be anywhere else
Is it true what they say about you do you know it too?
There's nothing very funny 'bout a man spending money
On a blonde haired blue eyed girl
He's got a child at home who he loves to leave alone
For his blonde haired blue eyed girl
Carmell, where you gonna run to
When the sky comes crashing in on you
Slow down, who you gonna turn to
When there's nothing left for you to prove
And I can't control myself
And I won't be no one else
No I can't control myself
And I wouldn't want to be anywhere else
It's true what they say about you do you know it too?
And I can't control myself
And I won't be on one else
No I can't control myself
And I wouldn't want to be anywhere else
It's true what they say about you and I know it too
I always knew it too
