BETH GIBBONS was the voice/face of renowned British trip-hop
outfit Portishead who released (only) 3 LPs between 1994 and 2008.

She’ll have her solo debut album, named PEOPLE OUTGROWN out on 17th May.

The longplayer was recorded over the last decade and includes with production
by Gibbons, James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode), and Lee Harris (Talk Talk).
It takes inspiration from a time of deep reflection, change, and, “lots of goodbyes.

Gibbons about the album: “I realised what life was like with no hope. And that was
a sadness I’d never felt. Before, I had the ability to change my future, but when you’re up against your body, you can’t make it do something it doesn’t want to do. People started
dying.

When you’re young, you never know the endings, you don’t know how it’s going to pan out.
You think: we’re going to get beyond this. It’s going to get better. Some endings are hard to digest.”

Following lead-single Floating On A Moment Gibbons presents
a 2nd new track, a haunting piece named REACHING OUT .

The song is accompanied by an amazing video clip.

BETH GIBBONS was the voice/face of renowned British trip-hop
outfit Portishead who released (only) 3 LPs between 1994 and 2008.

She just issued a press statement with news of her first solo album.
It’s baptized PEOPLE OUTGROWN and will land on 17th May.

Gibbons about the album: “I realised what life was like with no hope. And that was a sadness I’d never felt. Before, I had the ability to change my future, but when you’re up against your body, you can’t make it do something it doesn’t want to do. People started dying. When you’re young, you never know the endings, you don’t know how it’s going to pan out. You think: we’re going to get beyond this. It’s going to get better. Some endings are hard to digest.”

First single FLOATING ON A MOMENT reflects Gibbons‘ uncomfortable
awareness of humankind’s mortality. A heartfelt musing, a gripping ballad.

“I’m floating on a moment
Don’t know how long
No one knows
No one can stay
All going to nowhere
All going
Make no mistake”
