Oh and I forgot another female vocalist that I really like. Azam Ali from Vas. It is mostly ethnic (Middle Eastern /Indian mix), but her voice is truly beautiful.

I have to second this. Maria's voice just does something special to me. Especially on their cover of It's My Life from the Newer Wave 2.0 comp. Makes me melt everytime.

Last Of August from Aftermath gets me too. Around the two minute mark her voice always makes my breath catch.

**NullDevice** · September 19th, 2003, 06:30 PM

Ooh, if we're talking GusGus, than Hafdis Huld. Well, she was alluring more becasue I saw her onstage and...oh, wow. But she's got a good voice too.

Ok my list:

Susan Orvis (NURVIS) - She's absolutely awesome, if you don't mind a bit of country fem vox with your synthpop

Helen Stepanova (Etherstrings) - One of the few females in this scene that can make a vocoder sound sweet

Megan Erben (Kiss the Star) - Beautiful melodies abound here.

Dorothea Brandt (Equatronic) - In a strange sort of way, she sounds spooky and gothy, but I like it.

Colleen Curtis (Entropy64) - Awesome voice, and sex appeal. She is the synthpop Stevie Nicks

Annette Strean (Venus Hum) - Also from Nashville, she can do some strange and wonderful things with her voice.

Also whomever the female singers are, for the ADD bands Somegirl and Daybehavior ... especially that "Moments I Couldn't Save" track ... that one is absolutely Enigma-esque.

And Kari Pettersen, the beautiful vocalist on Apop Berzerk's 'LNDP3."

I have their cd "Big Beautiful Sky," and I think she sounds too much like Bjork. Like she's TRYING to sound like Bjork. She has a pretty voice, though. I'd like to see her come up with her own style and not copy someone else's. But this is just my opinion, and keep in mind that I've never liked Bjork's voice.

**WorldUnderFire** · September 21st, 2003, 05:56 PM

I'd have to say S.I.N.A. and Qod Torren have the most alluring female vocals.

**blepharisma** · September 21st, 2003, 11:05 PM

- Re: Amy from Evanescence -- sounds fantastic on the album, but if you've ever seen their live performances (saw a couple on TV recently), she sounds REALLY forced. (... and not in a good way)

I've always really liked:

- Shirley Manson (even better live - I didn't realize what a great vocalist she was until I saw them live... and she had laryngitis at the time)

- Kristy Thirsk - probably best known for her work with Delirium, she used to be in a group called 'Rose Chronicles' - not electro, but really good (mostly because of her vox)

- Kristy from Azoic - like her voice better in some songs than others -- 'Lost' is still my fav, it's so passionate

... I'm sure there are others. I'm a sucker for chick vox. I just can't think straight right now.

Annie Lennox and Tina Root. Evanescence?!?!? I don't know much about them. Were they on the soundtrack for Daredevil? If so, they sound kind of like a combo of that Rock/Rap combo that's been going around for too long, (sorry not a big fan of it). Forgive my ignorance.
