Has anyone mentioned Zooey Deschanel yet?
I love to hear her sing in She & Him.

Yes, at the top of this very page.

Just for future reference, there is a 'Search This Thread' option near the top of this page, so you can use that to check in future. Cheers anyway.

Danielle Anderson ('Danielle ate the Sandwich') :
 

 


 
It deserves pointing out that Danielle writes a great many songs herself, unlike so many these days. Check her out on Youtube and you'll see her performing many original compositions.

EDIT: Somehow, this one slipped through the thread search at the time I originally posted it, a couple of weeks ago, so just wanted to give credit to Br777, whose mention of Nataly Dawn the thread search threw up today:

I like the comment on one of her YouTube Videos, "Its like Amy Whinehouse & Adele had a baby !"  Very accurate.

Pretty much. I can't stop listening to her rework of Poetic Justice.

Definitely Elizabeth Fraser from Cocteau Twins, followed by Anneke van Giersbergen.

Heheh!, Well, you might recall me offering-up the Puppini Sisters, many months ago:
 
http://www.head-fi.org/t/522812/the-best-female-vocals-your-favorite-female-singers/660#post_7920961
 
They have a great version of this 1950's track on their debut album, 'Betcha' Bottom Dollar':
 
amazon.co.uk/Betcha-Bottom-Dollar-Puppini-Sisters/dp/B000FDFKEI
 
'Mr Sandman' is absolutely not the kind of music I'd normally listen to, but when a work colleague of mine lent me the Puppini Sister's album, 18 months ago, I was blown away by their harmonies and, on that basis, I really appreciate their work, including the track therein, 'Mr Sandman', so that's why my mind is now open to modern-day interpretations of some of the old 1950's vocal harmony tracks, even though they are, on the face of it, outrageously camp and kitsch! 

 
Just for the record, here's the Puppini sisters performing the track in question, and I make no apologies for posting it, coz their vocals are superb! 

   
 

 
  

 
(incidentally, if anyone is a fan of jazz guitarists like Martin Taylor, then listen out for Martin Kolarides, in the backing of the above Puppini Sisters track. He's a damn fine player!)
