Aldous Harding has a great voice
I love Kathryn Joseph and Joanna Newsom’s voices although they are not for everyone
Really love Nick Cave’s mature voice.

Haley Fohr (circuit de yeux, Jackie Lynn)
Vera Sola
FKA Twigs

Russell Maels voice is still an idiosyncratic joy to me. Anthony Reynolds (jack, Jacques) album from a couple of years back was a reminder of just what a great singer he is.

Frank Ocean I Feel Like He’s Overated

He’s really, really not.

Arguably the most significant artist of the last ten years. Everything he’s ever released has been near perfect. So much of contemporary music would sound different without Nostalgia, Ultra, Channel Orange and Blonde.

Assuming we’re doing the past 10 years or so, Neige is the first one to come to mind. I’m not an expert on metal vocals but he’s always stood out to me - it’s the contrast between the prettiness and the screaming, and the way he uses screaming to specifically convey emotion / escalate things instead of as the default setting.

Frances Quinlan from Hop Along has a great voice too.

Dunno what consitutes ‘best’ but Hamilton Leithauser has one of my favourite voices of this era. Someone else also mentioned Angel Olsen… this song they did together is just unfair

When his voice and the song come together it’s perfect. It’s why I’ve listened to this song on repeat for years
