Beth Orton releases new single, Friday Night
The singer has announced a new single, Friday Night. She has self-directed the video of the song. Speaking about the new track, Beth Orton said,
“Friday Night is someone reflecting on, and trying to decide, what to give up or what to surrender to. Passion or ambivalence? Whether to ‘bleed or rust in the rain’. Most of us are struggling to make sense of where to put the love we have for those that are lost to us, let alone the ones that remain."
She further added, saying,
“Sometimes there is no right answer except to find the wisdom in the spaces between the endings and beginnings, in the remembrance of things past or in search of lost time, there are always repercussions to the choices we make.”
Concluding her statement, Orton said,
“We are listening to the internal dialogue of someone living it out, what is futile and what is worth fighting for, and trying to do as little damage along the way. Friday night being the night that makes the week more bearable, there is hope.”
Apart from Friday Night, Orton has also released the title track of the album and another track titled Forever Young. She has also self-produced the album, working alongside drummer Tom Skinner, and bassist Tom Herbert. Her last album was Kidsticks which was released in 2016.
Orton’s new album Weather Alive will be released on September 23 via Partisan.
