Favorite Female Vocalists - Check Out These Beautiful Voices
As a die-hard metalhead the stuff I usually listen is quite heavy and usually requires mix of clean and harsh strong male voices, but there's a time when I like to take a break from all the loudness and speed and enjoy some light and beautiful, acoustic, folk, symphonic and similar stuff performed by the lovely ladies in the genre.
Here is the playlist of vocalists I enjoy and maybe something new for you to check out. I have probably forgotten to include some obvious choices, so be sure to mention them in the comments. :) Inspired to make this by similar post from @magicalwolf.
Sharon Den Adel
Enya
Tarja Turunen
Anneke van Giersbergen
Simone Simons
Lisa Gerrard
Martina Astner
Aleah Stanbridge
This angel lost its battle with cancer some time ago. Her voice will continue to resonate in our hearts... <3

my bf is a metalhead and introduced me to this genre... i was amazed to find out about the powerful vocals of these women from metal bands... im still amazed btw
Indeed, women in metal are fascinating. I'm glad you were introduced to this world! :)
You should also have a look at arch enemy and the agonist :)
Of course, Angela and that new girl which name I forgot are fantastic! They are quite different from the rest of this list though so that's the only reason I left them. :)
Great selection. I'm a fan of all these women.
Thanks! You can't go wrong with any of these. :)
Good choice of artists for this post, loved it dear friend @alcibiades
I'm glad you liked it, Jeff!
Great selections! I am familiar with some, but not all of them. Will give the others a listen.
Thanks! Whatever genre you listen, you can't go wrong with any of these. :)
Impressive compilation :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
As a die-hard metalhead, how come you didn't include Joan Jett?
Or Nina Persson
Yup, these are some obvious choices that I haven't listened in a while!
