Daybreaker is the third album by singer-songwriter
Beth Orton released in
2002 on
Heavenly Records and the
Astralwerks Records label. The album reached #40 in US and #8 in UK.
Mojo Magazine called the album "
her best to date...".
Q Magazine was not excited about the album: "
Tortoise-pace strumming and a crippling shortage of choruses produce only torpor". The album earned Orton a nomination at the
BRIT Awards for Best British Female Singer as well as Best Album at the
Q Awards.
