Chriso, I guess it is not surprising that the Shea "brothers" have the same taste in music.

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

Here’s a few absolutely, fabulous female vocalists I don’t think have been mentioned Raye - from London. Started as song writer. Now absolutely fabulous writer, singer, performer. Check her recent highly acclaimed jazzy studio and live performance recordings - My 21st Century Blues; 21st Century Symphony (Live); and Live at Montreaux Niia - highly sophisticated, very groovy. From Philly, but I would never have guessed. Start with Niia I; Niia Ii Emmaline - classical violinist turned writer/singer/violinist doing retro-jazz with a nightclub sound. Band includes swanky jazz guitar, bass, keyboards, drums snd Emmaline brings silky vocals and violin. Based in Cincinnati. Seen her live set twice. Her latest is Indiana Skies. Did I say she looks like a brunette Marilyn Monroe? Rozzi - from SanFran. Discovered when she was 19 by Maroon 5’s Adam Levine. Very strong. You will enjoy. Start with an earlier 2018 recording, Bad Together
it’s a start. Look forward to hearing what you think
