Recommendations?

[KRUSTYMAN]

I enjoy listening to Amy Winehouse, Duffy, Imelda May etc. Anyone have any recommendations for similar for me to check out.TIA

[sandmaster]

I like Amy Winehouse and Duffy. Also Kate Nash and Lillie Alan.

Several online radio sites, like pandora.com or slacker.com, let you set up a station for a particular artist; they will then play songs by that artist and others deemed similar. I've found that a good way to hear new artists that are similar to artists I like.

[China Doll]

My dads wife likes this sort of thing and she also listens to Cara Dylan and Norah Jones. (Personally I find the latter a bit dull but she does have a good voice).There's a lass called Adele who's pretty popular and Gabriella Cimli who you may also like.

China Doll is right - I forgot about Gabriella Cimli.

Karen Sousa

[Sooper]

You could have a listen to:-
Feist
Cat Power
Bat for Lashes
Florence and the Machine
Adele
Yeah Yeah Yeah's
Some might be a bit more lively than the Artists youve listed but still great female vocalists!
Give 'em a Whirl!

Many thanks - I'm off to check them out now though I've already tried Norah Jones and like China Doll I do find her a bit 'lacking'. As for the youtube link - I gotta agree Kate Souza has a rather fine voice, I'll be interested to see what else she' done and pandora.com etc are also next on my list of things to do. Many thanks again.

Pixie Lott - I like, much appreciated!

[soozmac]

go back to the original source and check out some Dusty Springfield. I know this answer will have you all rolling your eyes, and I'm not being cheeky (I promise!), but she really was quite amazing. She's the inspiration to a lot of these new artists, who are carrying on her legacy.

[KRUSTYMAN]

I'm not rolling my eyes - I know she had a fantastic voice and, as you say, she is/was an inspiration for many others who followed.

Dr B,

Pandora and Slacker are American websites and you cannot access them from outside the US!!
