Does Hannah Reid of London Grammar have the most captivating voice today?

I have recently discovered the group London Grammar and can't believe that I have not heard of them prior. The trio features Hannah Reid whom I feel has one of the most engaging and beautiful voices currently performing today. The music behind her is really well suited but it is clear, she is the reason for the groups popularity in England. "Hey now", "Flicker"  and "Interlude" among others are spellbinding.  Am I one of the few who appreciates this fine group or are there others among the Audiogon group?

Thanks for the tip. I went to youtube and listened to a few tracks. I think she's different, but I didn't like her voice or find it moving. She has an interesting style; a pretty low register, and part of her style seems to be flirting with going off key sometimes. I can see why some people would really like her though.

Listened briefly to reubent's YouTube clip.  To me, Hannah Reid sounds a bit like Beth Orton.  If not already familiar with Beth, she might be a new vocalist the OP will enjoy.

I am hoping that by secretly adding London Grammar's albums to my GF's iPod, she can be weaned from the "all Adele all the time" listening choice. May even sneak in some Cigarettes After Sex and Beth Orton (good idea @ghosthouse ) and set the dap to random play.
