| Note | "Brilliant Bits" Beth Orton's songwriting is masterful, touching, insightful, and atmospheric. Her sound combines elements of folk, electronica, and Beatlesque melody. Her voice has a hint of Marianne Faithful, her lyrics a
hint of Joni Mitchell, her structure akin to Aimee Mann. Her current album features a track written for her by Ryan Adams and a guest vocal by fan Emmylou Harris. Add to that, her early work with The Chemical Brothers, and you get an idea of the eclectic range of this gifted artist. "Brilliant Bits" is a 2 CD collection of radio and TV appearances assembled for the Beth Orton list to expose her music to a wider audience. |
