Beth Orton’s ninth album, “The Ground Above,” is a soulful meditation on aging, time, and self-acceptance, born from the same creative well as her last record and shaped by the bittersweet realization that life moves fast—especially when you’re watching your kids grow up. Inspired by a friend who died before living life to the fullest, Orton channels both grief and gratitude into tracks like “Waiting,” reflecting on her own journey from a troubled 1990s artist—struggling with loss, illness, and addiction—to a sober, mother of teens who now sees her past self with compassion. Working with fresh collaborators from Portishead and Radiohead’s side projects, she’s learned to trust their instincts, letting the music breathe and evolve. The result is a mature, tender, and deeply honest album that embraces all parts of her story—with grace, peace, and the quiet power of a full-circle moment.
