Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice.


Natalie Merchant gets my #1 vote!

Yma Sumac's voice is mesmerizing. Yma Sumac's name was based on her mother's name, which was derived from Ima Shumaq, Quechua for "how beautiful!" although in interviews she claimed it meant "beautiful flower"; either way she was beautiful.

Enjoy the music.
Beth Orton has a distinctive and arresting voice.

Suzanne Vega just makes me melt into caramel and syrup every time I hear her.
