Elizabeth Fraser is a renowned Scottish singer, songwriter, and musician, most famously known as the ethereal voice of the influential alternative band Cocteau Twins, formed in 1979. Her unique vocal style, characterized by her otherworldly soprano and the use of glossolalia, has captivated audiences and inspired a generation of musicians. Fraser's work with Cocteau Twins spanned the better part of two decades, from their formation until they disbanded in 1997, producing dreamy and sonically adventurous music that defied easy categorization.

After the dissolution of Cocteau Twins, Fraser embarked on various musical endeavors, collaborating with a wide array of artists, contributing to soundtracks, and occasionally releasing solo material. In the 2000s, her work was less frequent but deeply cherished by fans, with the track "Moses" in 2009 being a rare release during this period. More recently, Fraser returned with the project Sun's Signature, which unveiled new music at the Meltdown Festival in 2012. The project's self-titled extended play "Sun's Signature" was released in 2022, offering fans a collection of new and previously performed songs, including "Golden Air" and "Bluedusk," which showcase Fraser's enduring enchantment as a vocalist and artist. The continued remixes and adaptations of her work, such as John Grant's remix of "Apples" and Gwenno's remix of "Golden Air," attest to her lasting influence and the enduring quality of her voice.
