Sirens of Song - female vocalists you must hear

The list author says:
	"Etherial and haunting, Loreena McKennit's voice is like a mist moving in over the moor. Pure magic"

The list author says:
	"An astounding character voice here. Gin clearly channels a bit of Amy Winehouse, but Amy Winehouse has a great voice too so it's still a very good listen."

The list author says:
	"Maddy Prior is everything you'd want in a folk singer and more."

The list author says:
	"My favorite New Zealand singer. A voice rich in character and range, from low, sultry tones to soaring celtic lilts."

The list author says:
	"Eastern atonal style mixed with western melodic patterns. Azam Ali is one of the most unique singers I have ever heard."

The list author says:
	"Azam Ali on her own here, and though I prefer her with the band, her voice is stunning enough that she could sing a shopping list and I would not care."
