Description
First gaining renown as the voice of Portishead, Beth Gibbons is an enigmatic yet intensely emotional musician. Portishead's innovative version of trip-hop drew on the vocal jazz and pop of the past while reinventing it radically, and Gibbons' vocals -- which recalled bygone greats such as Nina Simone and Edith Piaf -- fit the group's postmodern mystique perfectly. As a solo artist, Gibbons places her elegant-yet-gritty contralto in a wide array of settings: The haunted chamber folk of 2002's Rustin Man collaboration Out of Season was a departure that nevertheless felt true to her artistry, as did her 2014 performance of Henryk Górecki’s Symphony No. 3 "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs" with the Polish National Radio Symphony and the unflinching meditations on mortality of 2024's Lives Outgrown. In between these releases, she scored films and worked with French pop legend Jane Birkin, stoner rock band Gonga, and acclaimed rapper Kendrick Lamar -- projects with little in common other than Gibbons' unerring ability to connect with the emotional truth of any kind of music.
