I've listened to so much Norah Jones and Diana Krall in the last month I feel like I know the personally. I'm ready to get hooked on a new sultry lady but I need some good suggestions.
I file it in Jazz, but others put it elsewhere and it's recorded on rounder, but none the less I can strongly recommend the new Madeline Peyroux - Carless Love. I think samples are available at towerrecords.com
I fully agree with R burke.The new Madeline Peyroux is brilliant as also KD Laing - Hymns of the 49th parallel, though not jazz,both are Stereophile recordings of the month.KD Laing does an ethereal interpretation of standard Neil Young& Cohen classics.Hugely recommended.
Having listened to Krall since her 'All for You' album, I was very disappointed when I saw her live a couple of years ago just going through the motions and showing very little if any passion.
Some great suggestions above but I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Ute Lemper on the Jazz/cabaret style. You can feel the passion in her singing and I was nearly in tears at the end of her concert in Paris (promoting her 'But one day...' album)
Another favorite of mine is Montserrat Figueras a cantatrice with a magnificent voice (part of Hesperion XXI group) singing mainly Hispanic ancient music if you can handle this type of music.
