Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist

Interesting thread as many of the recommended artists have been active for a long time.  It’s nice to see many veterans being "discovered."  Here are some I discovered within the past couple of years, most of whom landed on the music scene in the past 15 - 20 years, and have not been mentioned.  These ladies have "pipes" and don’t sound derivative.  Highly recommended:

• Julienne Taylor.  Check out "A Time For Love"
• Gabrielle Cavassa - She has a self-titled release, but check out her performances on Joshua Redman’s "Where We Are" release.
• Ane Brun - Check out "How Beauty Holds The Hand of Sorrow"
• Bria Skonberg - Check out "What it Means"
• Katie Melua -  So much good stuff to choose from, but "Live In Concert" is a great listen. 
• Josephine Cronholm -  Check out "Wild Garden"
• Halie Loren - Check Out "They Oughta Write A Song"
• Lori Lieberman - The "veteran" in the group.  Check out "Truly" 

All great recommendation and I discovered them because of streaming.

Sophie Zelmani - Lake Geneva, Sing and Dance

Skye Edwards, in the band, Morcheeba

Eilen Jewell

Patsy Cline

Sandy Denney

A few have been mentioned previously, most not.

Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Katie Pruitt, Iris Dement, Mary Black, Suzanne Cox, Jennifer Warnes and many others.

Streaming is a wonderful thing.

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
