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

New to me is Rachelle Ferrell; Individually (Can I Be Me?). Easy to listen to and crazy dynamic range.

Zoey Noble I get to hear her live with her father Bob Noble local around here. The Nobles band.  She put her own album out "Feet This Way". Mostly her own songs. I just got her CD autographed.

Thanks for a great thread with some excellent new to me music.  I have a few names to offer:

Carly Simon - Listening to her now... "You Belong to Me" and "You're So Vain" and so many more... her voice is timeless.

Shirley Bassey - If you grew up watching James Bond movies you might remember her singing the theme song from "Goldfinger".

Nina Simone - listened to her CD "The Blues" yesterday and really enjoyed it.

Aretha Franklin - "The Queen of Soul". 

Bonnie Raitt - always liked her style and gravelly voice. Excellent guitarist also.

Ann and Nancy Wilson AKA the band "Heart". 

Joni Mitchell - been listening to more of her music lately. Two favorites of mine are "Raised on Robbery" and "Free Man in Paris".

Linda Ronstadt - strong vocals and a favorite since the early 70's
