New Music: Cigarette Curls

          

Beth Orton shares "Cigarette Curls" a wonderful, time stood still and beautifully put together not a sound out of place. Beth Orton reflects here on a past relationship that ended abruptly, leaving the singer feeling lost and alone. The metaphor of 'cigarette curls' symbolizes memories that linger like smoke, while the repetition of being 'afraid' highlights the fear and regret of not following one', the single is taken from her forthcoming album "The Ground Above" video directed by Joseph Lynn & Imogen Knight

Primicia: Otherside (live)

           

Beth Orton has shared her new song "Otherside". The acclaimed songwriter's new album "The Ground Above" represents Beth Orton's first full length endeavour in a number of years, and it's a very special release. Previewing the material at an intimate UK tour – including London’s St Pancras Old Church – Beth Orton served signal of her intent. With "Otherside," what began as a not so simple tale of sleeplessness went on to have me turning over bigger themes, those of resilience in the face of loss, what freedom means to the individual and the collective; the ability to start again and make beautiful a life when it has been torn apart. An embodiment of what it feels like to implore a loved one home, to make it through the night, or to make it through a day, to make good what we dare to dream.” the track comes with a performance clip video directed by Iain and Jane Pollard & Joseph Lynn introducing her live band in the process.
