31 March 2026, 11:00 | Written by Kayla Sandiford

Beth Orton has released her new single, "The Ground Above".

"The Ground Above" is the first release from the Norfolk singer-songwriter since her 2022 eighth album Weather Alive, which she self-produced and recorded. Speaking about the song, Orton comments: "We are all vulnerable beings living out invincible lives.”

Recently, Orton has taken to the stage for performances in Ireland last December, followed by a series of UK shows, which included an appearance as part of a live tribute show for Broken English: A Portrait of Marianne Faithfull at Barbican Hall, and a special show at London's St. Pancras Old Church.

"The Ground Above" is out now on Partisan Records
