10 songs with female vocalists from the 90s I like

Psychedelic Paul wrote: Thanks for taking the time and trouble to post all of the relevant videos. My personal favourite on the list is Morcheeba, and talking of female vocalists of the 1990's, I just posted a Mostly Autumn tribute thread, featuring Heather Findlay on vocals from 1997 until 2010, and then Olivia Sparnenn from 2010 onwards. I also have a special fondness for Sharon den Adel of Within Temptation, and Tarja Turunen, the former operatic soprano with Nightwish.

I really like the Morcheeba a lot, a well as other Morcheeba songs. I haven't checked out much by those you listed. Of course I know that Mostly Autumn is very popular in PA.

Initially I thought my vote would easily be going to PJ Harvey, but imo she doesn't really excel on The River. So, to make it easy, I go for Air, because I can float away on this song and her voice. In a similar vain to this collection, I'd suggest Aimee Mann, How Am I Different (1999):

I was questioning whether or not to do "The River", I was going to do "The Wind" -- both being the first songs that I heard from PJ Harvey.

I loved that track you mentioned. It's the first time that I've heard it and it is right on the money! It's a great mention for this thread. Thanks.

Isobel is totally iconic, and I'm a big fan of Broadcast's The Noise Made By People album. I didn't know this one but it's great and should be voted. I also know and like some Pram, not this one, but it's up with their better ones I know. The PJ Harvey one is not bad either. As there are multiple votes allowed I'll throw some in before later coming back to listen to more of those I don't  yet know. Great selection!

You sound like you swallowed Micky with that first sentence -- lol.   I don't do contests, and a significant part of why I do these is in the hope of exposing people to music that they might not have heard, and to get some recommendations along the way. Thanks. I really love "Isobel". That and "Joga" are my Bjork faves, and are what got me into Bjork. I'm glad that you liked the Broadcast track, it is a particular favourite of mine. I like The Noise Made By People very much, as well as Tender Buttons. "The Book Lovers" is the titular song from Broadcast's The Book Lovers EP from 1996.

Please consider checking out some of this music if any of it seems to be your bag, and vote.

Air - "You Make it Easy"



Bjork - "Isobel"



Broadcast - "The Book Lovers"



Cardigans - "The Great Divide"



Dubstar - "Just a Girl"



Electrelane - "Oh Sombra"



Mono - "Disney Town"



Morcheeba - "The Sea"



PJ Harvey - "The River"



Pram - "The Doors of Empty Cupboards"



Stereolab - "Cybil's Reverie"



If you have any other music that you want to mention similar to any of these, please do so.
