The British artist first emerged on the music scene in the mid-’90s after a series of collaborations with William Orbit and the Chemical Brothers. Orton won a devoted following with the albums Trailer Park, which featured the single ‘She Cries Your Name,’ in 1996, and 1999’s Central Reservation, which led to a Brit Award for Best Female Artist.
