The Most Talented Female Vocalists in Indie Music

By Ryan Knox

Ever since the'90's, the female vocalist has shared the spotlight with male singers. The singer/songwriter emerged in the'90's with the alternative rock scene, as artists like Alanis Morrisette, Natalie Merchant, Natalie Imbruglia, Tracy Chapman, and many others experienced some great commercial success.

Some of today's most talented female music artists come from the indie rock world. This breed of intelligent rock allows artists to creatively express themselves, and some great talent is here for us to enjoy as a result.

This article is going to focus on a few of the biggest female talents in indie rock music today, with their vocals being the deciding factor in who makes the list. While there are dozens I could easily list here, I'm going to limit this article to my favorite four.

If you've never heard Regina Spektor's music, I envy you. I can remember being moved the first time I heard one of her songs a few years ago, and I immediately bought her album.

Her voice is believed my many to be one of the best in music today, and some exceptional songs over the last few years have showcased her raw talent.

If you haven't heard of Chan Marshall, perhaps you've heard of Cat Power. Marshall goes by Cat Power as a stage name, and she's sat atop the indie charts for many years since becoming popular earlier this decade. Power writes original compositions, in addition to covering many classic songs.

Another one is Sharon Jones. A Motown singer in her 50's, she's paired up with the Dap Kings, a backing band, and the unlikely combo has produced some exceptional music. Jones' voice is one of the freshest and best in music today, and her retro style is appreciated by many fans.

Gaining steam is Shara Worden, also known as My Brightest Diamond. She has a pristine voice, and while her original work doesn't always highlight it, some of her cover songs certainly do. Worden has one of the best voices around. - 18780
