Hmm some darker stuff Iguana.
I'm a big fan of Anna von Hauswolff, will explore the other ladies (Emma Ruth seems to be interresting)
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.

I know who influenced her (her more original stuff is really good though)
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:
A strangley overlooked Lady (like a more proggy Kate Bush) Emily Bezar
Any fans of Eva Cassidy? I think I have everything that's been officially released.. Amazing voice..
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.
^^^^^ fantastic stuff.
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.
