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.

My favorite genre of music is indie rock, and there’s no shortage of female talent here. There are some great artists with a knack for writing songs and singing them, and I’ve been fortunate to enjoy many of them.

Let’s take a look at some of the better female indie vocalists in music today. There are many of them, and some of the best will surely be left out. Still, here are the ones who stand out in mind.

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.

Her voice is believed my many to be one of the best in music today, and some exceptional songs over the last few years have showcased her raw talent.

Chan Marshall’s voice is a little less pure sounding than Spektor’s, but it adds character to her music. The best comparison may be Janis Joplin, though Marshall’s voice (she goes by Cat Power) is a bit smoother.

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.

Lastly, Shara Worden, who produces music under the “My Brightest Diamond” moniker, may very well be the best of these. Listen to her cover of “Feeling Good” for affirmation of this.
