Female Vocals: Stunning Recordings You Love

I absolutely love everything about Aurora. Heard this for the first time today:

Martin
Yeah, that's awesome, that was the first time I heard her, that video - I first saw that video sometime in 2021 & then I bought all her albumns since. Some of the albumns are better than others, but there's always some good tracks on there - fantastic voice, bit of an unusual persona, but I like her but don't buy into the crazy fandom. I really like the Electronica side & soundscape that is often created in her recordings along with her voice - I think they do some high quality recordings in general on a technical level too. Yeah, so that video, I was a Massive Attack fan & then I saw that vid & I thought that's better than the original, absolutely fantastic, gave me goosebumps the first time I listened to it, and once in while since then!

This YouTube video is how I discovered Aurora. I've bought everything she has released since. She is a unique individual with a heavenly voice and an interesting musical style. Billie Eilish has credited her seeing Aurora's Runaway video when she was 11 or 12 as an inspiration to her becoming a musician.

Someone on here turned me onto I'm With Her a while ago. This is an excellent video of one of their performances:

If you like that check out this on the Internet Archive recorded at DelFest in my adoptive hometown of Cumberland, MD: https://archive.org/details/ImWithHer20190525T11

Yep, I remember seeing that one, good performance!

That's a good performance, and they perform really well together & they feel it, and a couple of those tracks were pretty emotional, they're a bit too country for me though, I enjoyed playing through it though.

What's her name again!? :D :p
 
This is THE killer track!
I already loved the triple (or more?) parallel vocal lines in the studio version [at ~3:20] and she/they managed to not only transfer that perfectly to the live version but went even further with the ending (time-shifted polyphony).
[trivia - Spotify ranks her #1 streamed artist right now]

Nice, there were a few goosebump moments in there! I liked the Live version more after listening to the studio version first (never heard either track before), but then when going back to the studio version I liked that more too, they're both good!
 
Would this Zayn remix of Shaed's 2018 "Trampoline" qualify to be posted here?
It also makes for a good whistle-along song, if you can keep a tune... I try! ;)
