I don’t think I saw this one listed but Shelby Lynne’s tribute album to Dusty Springfield, “Just a Little Love’n” is fabulous, both as an artistic creation and as a really well done audiophile recording. She released it in 2008 and is one of my favs.
I’ve got more to add as well so I’ll put a list together and share in a second post.
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
