There is something captivating about Kate Bush's delivery, she collaborated a lot with Peter Gabriel too who was a fantastic singer with unique delivery as well.

Yannis Papadopoulos of Beast in Black. Dude's got some insane vocal range.

Marvin Gaye - just perfection. Also Beth Gibbons of Portishead.

Linda Perry.

Lead singer of 4 Non Blondes and has a solo career. I don’t even listen to that style of music, but I still get excited when I hear her voice come on.

Myles Kennedy. Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeet, that man can sing...

I've seen him live (with Alter Bridge) a couple of times, and it has just blown me away hearing his live performance be as good as if not better than the studio versions.

Whoever this is

tldw; a contestant on a European pop idol type show had such perfect pitch and tone, the judges thought she was lip syncing. She wasn't and it's amazing.

Does Jack Stauber count? The songs I've heard from him are mind blowing

Amber Bain of The Japanese House has a really nice voice.

There's also Caroline Polachek, who I am pretty sure actually has perfect pitch. She is one of the most technically impressive vocalists of her generation IMO.

Nobody will read this, but Kristin Hersh. She was the founder / less singer in Throwing Muses, but her solo work truly amazes me. Literally nobody is like Kristin.

For example: https://piped.video/watch?v=_RtniRWL5zM

I'm consistently impressed by the one vocalist from Beast in Black. When I watch their videos and then realize there is one voice in the song and it's that dude, it blows my mind every time.

Jim Grey of Caligulas Horse and Arcane

Einar Solberg, lead singer of Leprous, has a unique voice. It can sound almost fragile at lower registers, very expressive.... And has incredible range.

Brandi Carlisle is completely wasted on country music. I saw her at a music festival when she was mostly playing rock music and some covers and holy shit she has such effortless range.
