Thanks for Mathilda Homer, insta-bought both albums on first listen.
Maria Callas, perhaps the best ever. Not for everyone I suppose but an astounding voice and mastery.
Tiny Desk is the greatest thing ever for discovering new music.
I think I love listening to female vocalists more than any. So my favorites: First, in the pop world:
An all-time favorite is Sandy Denny. Sheās the woman who sang back up to Led Zeppelinās Battle of Evermore. Here sheās transcendent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAn9aD6U9mY
Her biggest āhitā might be this:
My current obsession is this Norwegian blue grass singer, Rebekka Nilsson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWIaeQFcbYg.
Hereās another track with her. I just love the tone of her voice.
I just discovered her on reading your post. Fantastic voice. Thanks
Courtney Swain of the band āBent Kneeā. This live rendition of the track āHold Me Inā gives me chills every time without fail.
Julie Fuchs is one of my favorite opera singers. It turns out she can also do stuff like this. And yes, Iām in love. https://youtu.be/n7fqdkrTPYY
Hope Sandoval (of Mazzy Star fame) has lately become one of my favourite female vocalists.
This āliveā version of āinto dustā captures what i like about her voice pretty good.
Lots of my favourites already mentioned, but here are 2 more
