The decade of the female vocalist

[MvP]

Adele
Florence Welsh (Florence + The Machine)
Lana Del Rey
Jessie Ware
Lykke Li
Ellie Goulding
Romy Madley Croft (The XX)
Elly Jackson (La Roux)
Yukimi Nagano (Little Dragon)
etc.

Before this past year I would RARELY listen to female artists or bands with a female vocalist, but lately I've found myself listening to them almost more often than male artists. Was I just simply ignoring female talent or did they just happen to rise in popularity at the same time? Will we look back on 2011-2020 as the decade of the female artist?

The fact that Grace Potter is not on your list is of serious concern.

[Warner2BruceTD]

You're god damn right Adele is on the top of that list.

Blows those other hoes out of the water. Nobody can touch Adele. NOBODY

[Villain]

Ellie Goulding sucks.

[DoubleDeuce]

Florence > Adele

Also, add The Joy Formidable to your list, great group.

[MvP]

Ellie Goulding sucks.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Ellie Goulding but her album was critically acclaimed so I figured she belonged on the list.

Was I just simply ignoring female talent

[Realist]

were you born yesterday ? the 80s was full of female vocalists.

and LOL at you're first 3 choices.. I just youtubed and its the most generic, flat , unimaginitive, junk ive ever heard. Its obvious these are over produced and completely watered down attempts at being creative.

[NAHSTE]

I can think of a ton of female vocalists from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s. It's almost as if there have been a lot of successful female vocalists throughout the history of music.
