THE best female vocals? (your favorite female singers)
Jul 24, 2013 at 8:09 PM Post #1,531 of 5,067
Phew, I just read the entire thread and it took quite some time even though I've heard most of the stuff.
Needless to say most of what I like has already been mentioned at least a few times but there were some nice new findings for me.
 
One voice I really like is that of Susan Calloway, who isn't particularly well-know aside from probably the Final Fantasy fans as she did the theme song for it. She's kinda going under the radar but supposedly is working on a new album right now.

 

 
I'm also a big fan of Ally Rhodes' voice, who has made a ton of covers on youtube but she also has 2 original albums and I'm proud that I contributed on kickstarter for her second one.
 

 
I'm also kinda following the boring music shows like x factor and the voice just to find out new artists to like and I was pretty impressed with Sarah Simmons and her voice

I'll definitely be waiting for her to release something original.

It is worth it, though. Loads of great recommendations that I'd not heard of previously (and I already knew a very wide range of female vocalists).

Yeah, in one sitting - I'm sick, so I'm staying home and didn't have anything better to do. I'm not sure how long - maybe 7-8 hours but as I said I've heard a lot of the stuff otherwise it would have taken a lot longer than that.

I just searched this entire 103-page thread and didn't find Erin Boheme. Anyone who's into jazzy female vocals should check her out! I really liked her debut CD What Love Is and just recently saw that she put a new album out earlier this year. I don't actually have the new CD yet, it'll be my next purchase. But I love her voice and the streaming samples on Amazon sound promising.

Have just ordered the CDs on listening to "Didn't Do A Thing" on YouTube alone! Beautiful.

Yeah, as I said - I'm a big fan. It's a shame she doesn't have the money to make a truly audiophile recording with the proper mastering and everything but hopefully that day will come coz I really like her voice.
 
On another note, I have to thank whoever posted that video of Lady Lamb the Beekeeper - I got her Ripely Pine album last week and I really really like it.

I own and love this album!  One of the stand-out tracks is Netrebko and Garanca - singing Offenbach's Barcarolle
