Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried...


Most of my listeing is female vocals and classic Jazz.  I have enjoyed current and older female singers.  I have most of Billie Holiday through current Diana Krall and Julia Fordham.  I enjoy good voices mainly acoustic.  It would be helpful if it is music I can sample online.  If the backing is mainly loud elctronic I would likely pass.  Thanks for your thoughts and experience.

The best female vocalist I have heard in the last 20 years Cécile McLorin Salvant!
The best album is her Album Womanchild

Not sure if they’ve been mentioned, but I’ll throw in Hanna Reid (London Grammar), Goldfrapp (Tales of Us), Shannon McNally, and Imelda May.
