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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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