My Favorite Female Vocalists in Indie Rock

Female singers have a big place in today’s music world. This is a great thing, as the diversity in music has thrived during the past few decades. Many of today’s most successful music artists are females.

Some of today’s most talented female music artists come from the indie rock world. This breed of intelligent rock allows artists to creatively express themselves, and some great talent is here for us to enjoy as a result.

Perhaps there are some on the list I’m about to share who you’ve heard of, but you might discover a new favorite talent if you haven’t heard of any of the following singers. These women truly have some of the greatest voices in music.

If you’ve never heard Regina Spektor’s music, I envy you. I can remember being moved the first time I heard one of her songs a few years ago, and I immediately bought her album.

I love Regina’s voice, and it’s one of my favorite in music, period. She’s sang many great songs, and still in her 20s, she’s sure to come out with more classics over time.

Another great vocalist in female music is Cat Power. Her real name is Chan Marshall, and she’s been making great music for about a decade now. With so many songs on her resume, both original and covers, her laid back style of blues music is one of the best in the indie world.

A newer arrival to the scene is Sharon Jones. While she’s not so new in the music world, this 50 something singer is certainly new to the indie scene. Having partnered up with the Dap Kings, this unique combination of musicians has some great Motown type music to show for it.

Gaining steam is Shara Worden, also known as My Brightest Diamond. She has a pristine voice, and while her original work doesn’t always highlight it, some of her cover songs certainly do. Worden has one of the best voices around.
