I'm buying female to male records at about a 5-1 ratio. Kudos to the female artist for all the great music being put out.
My recommendations in order based on your interests.
1: Agnes Obel (album Aventine) Danish singer from Berlin writes and plays. Classical, Neoclassical, Jazz, Indie. Have on lp and yes its mastered wonderfully.
2: Hindi Zahra (album Homeland) Moroccan, Jazz, Folk, Blues, World
3: Eilen Jewell (albums Sea of Tears / Queen of the Minor Key) Idaho lady Bluesy, Folk, Country, edgy
4: Khruangbin (album Live at Lincon Hall) actually a trio group but has some vocals leed by female artist. Mostly instrumental and very creative fun live recording. Classic soul, rock, psychedelic, surf rock
5: Lp (Laura pergolizzi) (album Lost on You) NY gal rock, alternative rock, touch of country/Midwest, modern style alternative unlike the 90s. Great recording good mastering. Unique vocals you will either really like or hate. But give it a chance it's takes a minute to digest her sound but once you do gets stuck in your head. Try song Lost on you first.
6: Lake Street Dive (rachael price) (song What I'm Doing Here). See her live performance of this song. It's amazing. I have the single, not crazy about her albums but this song is special and she kills it on the vocals.
Hope something I recommended works out to you or others
