Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist


Thanks to Qobuz I can endlessly explore new music and artists. I enjoy female vocalists and I’m always searching for new talent whether Pop, Jazz or Classical. 
 

A few I have discovered and very much enjoy:

Laufey: From Iceland and writes very melodic somewhat old school songs

Eva Cassidy: Amazing voice. Best cover of Over The Rainbow I’ve ever heard. Spellbinding and emotional 

Diana Panton: Very silky smooth voice. Enjoy anything she sings

Pamela D’Amico: Wonderful Brazilian singer/Guitarist

Kacey Musgraves: Grammy winning artist who spans pop and country. Her song The Architect is a gem  She’s been singing for a while but I just found her on a recommendation from my granddaughter 

Michelle Simonal: Another wonderful singer from Brazil Love her rendition of the 80s song Some People as well as other covers

Sarah Menescal: Also from Brazil and offers wonderful covers. Especially love her cover of Over My Shoulder

Stacey Kent: What a delicate sweet voice. Especially enjoy her covers of So Nice and The Gentle Rain on the Brazilian Sketches Album  

Hope you enjoy these artists as much as I do 

Oh although not a singer but a Classical Pianist please check out

Yuja Wang: Phenomenal and well recorded by DG especially her newest 

The Vienna Recital

Thank you for the amazing list. Have saved all of them to listen over the next few weeks.

I will add three

Bonny Light Horseman- a discovery for me in 2024. Got two of their LPs

the next two are not English singers. I don’t understand either of the two languages but just love listening to them:

Souad Massi- from Algeria

Maki Asakawa - from Japan

Here are two I forgot to include earlier:

  • Cecile McLorin Salvant - Check out "Dreams and Daggers"
  • Dominique Fils-Aime - Check out "Nameless"

+1 on Jennifer Warnes. Perhaps not the most naturally gifted singer ever but her The Hunter album is truly an audiophile recording and she does it justice.
