I like a French singer based in NY called Keren Ann. Her fifth album, self-titled, was released this month and is very atmospheric, like Mazzy Star a decade ago.
Iva Bitova on "Mater"
Mariam Matossian on "In the Light"
Tartit on "Ichichila"
Szaloki Agi on "Hallgato" (Lament)
Nynke Laverman on "De Maisfrou"
Teresa Salgueiro on "Obrogado"

These are my new faves for 2007.
There are many female vocalist i like. But there is something about Sade's voice and lyrics that i like a lot.

I also like the female voices on the most recent Usher demo cd. Some are asian and i think 1 or 2 are french. The demo didnt have track listings on he back. Does anyone know the name of these singers?
