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

Not so much a recent discovery, but the other day I realized I have almost the entire Julie London catalog and can actually hold forth on the differences between her albums and styles as she aged. I have no idea how this happened. I don't remember how I discovered her in the first place. But I'm glad I did. |
@gkelly +1 on Hurray For The Riff Raff - I fell hard for Alynda Segarra the first time I heard "Look Out Mama" and never looked back. My wife and I just saw the band last Monday in Door County, WI. Really great live. Others: I have been a Joni obsessive for about four decades now, no sign of slowing. Roberta Flack always makes me smile. Sandy Denny, Linda Rondstadt, Iris Dement, k.d. lang, oh jeez I just realized I could go on for quite a while... |
@hifiguy42 Sandy Denny's story always makes me sad. Much like many of her lyrics do. |
