    AS a dutch I have to nominate our own Wende Snijders. She sang in French, Dutch and English. I think for this crowd its best to post a video in English:

    I recommend her album Last Resistance

    And now for something completely different; From the faeröer islands comes Eivør. My wife is a big fan. She also sings in English but I like her best when she sings in her native tongue:

    I recommend the album Slør

    LAst but not least : Nathalie Joachim. She is classical trained flute player and known as a member of the contemporary chamber orchestra Eighth Blackbird. She released a solo album this year based on the music of her home country Haiti.

    yes, it’s all very much from within the post rock & metal / shoegaze / math realm which has all but superseded prog in my listening choices to an extent now. will check out yours as well.

    From Japan, there’s “city pop” diva Mariya Takeuchi, who had a “sleeper” hit via Youtube in “Plastic Love,” a song she recorded in 1984 for her album Variety. She’s married to singer-songwriter Tatsuro Yamashita, who wrote this song (incidentally, I also recommend his album For You):



    And I’ve already gone on elsewhere on my love for the incomparable Hiroko Taniyama, sort of the Japanese kayōkyoku precursor to Kate Bush you didn’t know existed—until now:

    Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...

    Anastasia Minster released her second album Father earlier this year, featuring Steve Jansen on three tracks.

    She also does covers, like King Crimson's Moonchild:



    This is from her first album:

    I just scrolled through this thread and found some good suggestions so far. Emily Bezar was unknown to me and I like what I hear.

    My favorite current singsong women is not mentioned yet: Julia Holter! How is that possible?

    She is a 'progressive' artist, although certainly not prog, and her stuff can get pretty experimental. Here are two of her more accessible songs. She is amazing.

    Anastasia Minster just started a Kickstarter-project for her new album Song Of Songs: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...ong-of-songs-0

    What will it sound like?
    Song of Songs will be a beautiful record, poetic and moving... With a touch of darkness, as usual. Musically and sonically, the album is inspired by David Sylvian, Scott Walker and Thomas Feiner. It will have 8 tracks, each approximately 5 minutes long. Four of these songs will feature beautiful orchestral arrangements written by a wonderful Colombian-Canadian composer and orchestrator, Felipe Tellez, and performed by a 30-piece orchestra (woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings). The songs will merge the jazz piano and vocals with the classical music. The material that I have written for this album is very moving and emotionally intense and the classical arrangements will bring profound beauty to these tracks.
