Dominique Fils-Aimé - Three Little Words, Qobuz Hi-Res.  She came up in one of my Tidal "My Mix" playlists.  Check out her Nameless release, some great acapella including a really cool interpretation of Feeling Good.

First, I'd like to give props to Tammy and team for all your hard work and for being so responsive.  I hope that you'll reconsider the way Captcha is currently being deployed.  Having to click on pictures every time I post is ridiculous.  I will ...
