Presenting, the 5 sexiest female voices in popular music!
1. Alison Goldfrapp, has one of those voices that starts at the base of your spine and shuffles slowly upwards until it hits your brain with the kind of fanfare and ceremony normally reserved for visiting foreign dignitaries.
2. Canadian Metric front-woman (is that a real word?) Emily Haines does that thing where no matter how she’s actually singing you get the feeling of someone whispering straight into your ear. It’s a life-skill, for sure, and even sexier when she sings in French, oh yes.
3. Ladytron’s Helen Marnie provides the sexy contrast to the commanding lead vocals of equally pretty band-mate Mira Aroyo (any relation, Ani?). I’m pretty sure even the shipping forecast, if read in her dulcet half-whisper, would see my pants shrink two sizes.
4. Speaking of outrageously erotic whispering, how’s about Sarah Nixey, from Black Box Recorder? This lady has a voice which, I feel, can only fittingly be described as a kind of aural soft porn.
5. Juliette Lewis is more of a punk than her fellows on this list, though of far sexier voice than any of her fellow punks. Also, she was the daughter in that vampire film, which is pretty cool.
yes, yes, dunno, yes, no.
I see what you tried to do there but unfortunately instead of putting an attractive, talented female vocalist in position 5, you put some skanky ho. Nice try, but replace her with Tegan and/ or Sara and we can talk. If you’ve never heard of these delightful Canadian sisters, then thats my fault as I should do my bit to pimp their soft/ growly/ sweet sound.
Consider yourself informed.
In fact, sod it, you’ve left out Nina Persson from The Cardigans, for which there can be no excuse. Other than perhaps you’d forgotten about her.
Look, not everybody can make it into the top 5, OK? I’m sorry. I wish there were room for Tina Turner too, but there just isn’t.
