Biyografi

Everything But The Girl - aka EBTG - was formed in 1982 by Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt. Their debut single was a stark cover of Cole Porter's Night and Day. Acclaimed for their lyrics, Thorn’s unique voice and Watt’s arrangements, they released a string of UK gold albums during the 1980s experimenting with jazz, guitar pop, orchestral wall-of-sound and drum-machine soul. EBTG's break in the US came with the 1990 radio hit, Driving. In 1992 their world tour was stopped when Ben was admitted to hospital with a life-threatening auto-immune disease from which he nearly died. The story is captured in his acclaimed memoir, Patient. The duo returned with the million-selling folktronica of Amplified Heart (1994). The album includes their biggest hit, Missing, after Todd Terry’s remix unexpectedly jumped from heavy club play to global radio success (#2, US Hot 100; # 3 UK Top 40). It was followed by Walking Wounded (1996, #4 UK Album Chart), brimming with ideas from the mid 90s electronic scene. Spawning four UK Top 40 hits, it became EBTG’s first platinum album. The duo quit on a high in 2000. Tracey focused on family life before returning with a run of solo albums and non-fiction books. Ben moved into DJing and remixing, and launched the electronic label, Buzzin' Fly. He returned to his singer-songwriter roots with a trilogy of solo albums from 2014-2020. In November 2022 EBTG announced they had made a new studio album - the first for over two decades - due out spring 2023.
