Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice.


Natalie Merchant gets my #1 vote!

Her music is not for most people including me (some great songs though) but her voice is incredible.
Back in 2010 I had cited several classical and opera performers in this thread. In the pop, folk, and jazz genres I’ll add the Australian singer Judith Durham, who was (and sporadically still is, ever since the group was formed in the 1960s) a member of The Seekers, as well as having pursued a solo career.

I find her voice to be both unusual and mesmerizing in its purity and its beauty.

Syd Straw. Her duet with Michael Stipe of REM is String of Pearls/Future Forties. Great song.
