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.

Beth Orton
Well love love love is a one way train
Comes on gentle as a hurricane
It's got p.a.i.n. Written all the way through
From where I'm set looking over at you
And it takes all my might
And it'll take all my day
And if it wants me to come
Well I know I'm gonna stay
Nothing can save me from my life
But for love my mistakes I would rectify... if I could
And it's all we've got to leave
And if you take a drop of water from a bucket
Would not know
Does not show
Love is all that remains
Love's gonna fill it again
Well love love love will make truth from a lie
And I don't want to live how I don't want to die
So give me one kiss to build a dream on
Gonna stay with me through the changing seasons
And it's all we've got to bring
And if you take a drop of water...
