Thinking About Tomorrow [Single] – Beth Orton

Label: Heavenly Recordings

Final track off the top 10 ‘Daybreaker’ record, ‘Thinking About Tomorrow’ sees the Brit nominated Orton do pretty much what she does best: languid and drizzly reverie of the smoothest calibre. No surprises there then.

As a reference point for the likes of Imogen Heap and Guy Sigsworth you couldn’t provide better. It’s that same slinky, none-too-offensive but ultimately drop dead gossamer production, the same heaving bosom of a husky female vocal crooning like candyfloss into the speaker, the same slinky-come-funky loop and the self-pleasuring dissonance.

Out on March 31st on Heavenly Recordings, it’s certain to be the inspiration behind many a Mazda soft-top bank-holiday excursions into the lakes.

Languor – now there’s a good word.
