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

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.

Lot of discoveries for me in this thread. 

I’ll add one of my all time favorites that I did not see here:

Malia - Black Orchid

Some excellent renditions of a few Nina Simone songs and others. 

Thanks to all contributors to this list !

Taylor Rae - Mad Twenties

Katie Pruitt - Expectations

Kathleen Edwards - entire catalog

Many thanks to the OP and all the respondents.  Threads like this are a great source of music recommendations.  I will listen to them all eventually.  Many I would never have stumbled on by myself.  Best wishes.

Yes, as the OP I want to thank everyone for their contributions. It’s amazing how many female artists there are that many of us have never heard sing. Quite a lot of listening to be done. Thanks to streaming most of these artists can be easily found.
