She collaborated with the electronica group Saint Etienne on the Neil Young cover "Only Love Can Break Your Heart"[1] (which went Top 40 in the UK and to No 1 in the US Hot Dance charts).
Lambert began singing, playing acoustic guitar and song-writing as a child living in Africa, largely influenced by the Celtic folk songs her parents taught her.
While at school in the UK she became a fan of the British indie scene, enjoying acts like The Smiths and The Cure, later exploring vintage records by artists like Sandy Denny, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell.
Since Ova broke up in January 2000, Lambert has collaborated with Freeloader and Data, two obscure electronica collectives staying well in the vein of trip hop, and contributed backing vocals to Tram's album, A Kind of Closure, released on UK's Jet Set Records.
[6] Lambert studied at the Conservatory of Music, played in coffee bars, and worked with Spanish cellist, pianist and composer Dan Anies, who co-wrote two of the songs on her first solo album 'Coming Up Roses' (released October 2006).
