I just recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD555(Need to enter contest!) with a Go-Vibe v5 and Chaintech Av-710.
The way women sing sound beautiful coming out of these headphones. Right now Im listening to Diana Krall, Alicia Keys, Ciara, and Lauren Hill. If you guys can help me out and recommend me some women singers so I can have a listen you'd make my headphones and I very proud

Thank you.

P.s I enjoy ALL kinds of music.

Lorraine Hunt Lieberson singing Ich habe genug (BWV 82) on Nonesuch. It has another Bach cantata with it (BWV 199), but after the famous Peter Sellars staging of BWV 82, that cantata is the one that "made" the record.

Lieberson was, until her tragic death, one of the great mezzo-sopranos (indeed, one of the great singers of the recent crop). Her voice, pretty fairly described as luminous (full and gorgeous to these ears), and her personal, intimate interpretations combine to make simply wonderful music. When you throw the text into it, these become intense and moving performances.

It is hard to imagine a better record for your purposes.

The first one that comes to mind: Bjørk

Also see if you can come around the band "Under Byen". It is a danish band, but David Fricke of Rolling Stone is a huge fan, so I think they have released albums in the states. The singer is similar to Bjørk but really unique. Oh and she is simply gorgeous

skellington. Did I point you towards Christel Alsos, or was she known to you?
I will definitely check out your recommendations, since they are both new to me..

No I heard about her on some music blog site. 'What You Gotta Do' is my favourite song, the feeling in the song is incredible. She's got a lot on potential, still only her first album.
The other two are more indie rock than jazz, but Britta Persson is a real talent I think. A lot of her songs are quite strange- in a good way.
You can stream the whole album on startracks.se, OK quality.

Just got a notice that Jennifer Warnes Famous Blue Raincoat is being re-issued in a remastered 30th anniversay special on August 8th. This is a great recording, and was an audiophile standard in it's day.

Newer stuff:

Joss Stone
Amy Winehouse
Jill Scott
Corinne Bailey Rae
Madeleine Peyroux
