Modern female muso/singers

[stark]

I can really get off on listening to a simple piano/voice combination and being male, enjoy the female vopice enormously.

Anyone else into this sort of thing?

Definitely. Love to hear chicks sing and play piano. there's something about piano-chicks....



Tori Amos does some good stuff.





I don't like Vanessa Cqrlton's voice, but she's a good player, and easy to look at





Fiona Apple, being self-taught, has her own style. i particularly like her "Tidal" abum. "Slow Like Honey" is quite possibly the most beautiful song in the world.





Imogen Heap....saved the best till last, well maybe not the best piano, but definitely the best voice, and the best songs, IMO.

I agree with pretty much all of these, especially Imogen Heap.

Another recommendation would be Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star, though i think she played a bit more tambourine than piano.

I've only heard one or two Tori Amos songs, but I definitely recall liking them. Her music seems to have a lot more energy and life in it than people like Norah Jones.

Melissa Etherige's "special friend", Tammy Lynn Michaels ( http://www.saviodsilva.org/gg/1/tammy/5.jpg ) probably can't sing to save herself, but hey.... who cares

TOO RIGHT!!!.

as for the women. I have a thing for rock chicks rather than the crooner/muso types.

Amy Lee
Ella Hooper
The Donnas
Shirley Manson
Gwen Stefani (used to be rock)

and I'm sure there are plenty other.

Yep Vanessa Carlton is delightful, and so is her evil twin, Michelle Branch

Look no further than our own Brooke Fraser and for eclectic historical tunes playing many instruments Joni Mitchell.

Tanya Donnelly (ex-belly) is one chick + guitar combo I just can't get enough of -



^ ^ ^ - Rockin'

On the chick on piano theme I was lucky enough to catch The Dresden Dolls @ the Kings Arms a month or 2 back and they were fantastic - one of the most enjoyable gigs I have ever been to.

yeah but small chick + LP just don't look right. She needs a daisy rock
