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

This may fall outside the spectrum of singers listed here, but I have to add Susan Tedeschi who is a terrific blues singer.  That said, I have all of Eva Cassidy's CDs, amazing voice.

Melody Gardot (who also happens to have recorded a great version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow).

Maiah Wynne.  Her album Out of the Dark is excellent. 

 

She is also singer in Envy of None.  A really cool band featuring Alex Lifeson of Rush. It’s not hard rock like Rush.
