Another favourite of mine, from my college days, is the Irish singer, Mary Coughlan:
 





 
Actually, none of these Youtube clips do Coughlan justice - I highly recommend her greatest hits compilation 'Love Me or Leave Me' - it's a decent album.

If you like a powerful voice, Beth Hart is a contemporary singer who's collaborated a bit with respected blues-rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa. I find her rather intimidating, to be frank, but she does have a decent voice, all the same:

Going back to the Irish side of things, Dolores Keane is a nice singer - she used to sing in De Dannan, a group that other well-known Irish singers such as Maura O'Connell & Mary Black also sang with at various times:

If you like Jazz vocalists, Stacey Kent's voice is quite unique, and very mellow:

Dolores O' Riordan can also turn out a nice song every now and then:

I have one of Laura Viers' albums - can't recall the name, but my favourite track on the album is 'Snowcamping'. I first heard her on Bob Harris' show, on BBC Radio 2 a few years ago.
 
And I've been a fan of Sade for..well, decades! 

 Really like her old stuff but also really like the album 'Lover's Rock'.
 
Great stuff.
