It's high time to do a blog entry collecting my all-time-favourite vocalists in Pop & Rock music, including some representative songs. So let's start with...
Frida
Over the years, I became aware that Frida is my favourite ABBA voice, darker and often edgier than Agnetha's. One of my favourites, because Frida's voice fits the Spanish wonderfully:
Conociendome, Conociendote
Tom Chaplin (Keane)
Being a singer myself I'm just totally in awe of this voice... How can a man hit such high notes with such power and emotion at the same time?Perfect Symmetry
Maggie Reilly
This beautiful voice has accompanied me through my whole life, starting with Oldfield's Moonlight Shadow, later with her solo recordings in the 90s, and I wouldn't wanna live without it. She still releases a record every other year, and her 2006/07 release "Rowan" is her best solo CD ever.Away wi' the faeries is the first track.
France Gall
I just recently re-discovered France Gall by hearing "La déclaration" on the radio. …
