Note on Lewian's latest:  Fred Frith & Jva Bittova “Morning Song”  Dark repeating guitar notes, a whispery voice and really brilliant violin staccato sounds….there is also an alarm clock sound, which repeats in the song.  Sadly, I can’t find lyrics or confirmation that Iva wrote the song, just out of curiosity.  I quite enjoyed it.  Looks like the documentary would be quite interesting.

Meltdowner: Fiona Apple is well know to me and always nice to hear (although I don't have any of her albums), so is Sullen Girl. IMO she has done some more memorable songs, though.

Lewian: Barbara Morgenstern with Robert Wyatt, a great combo - their voices marry well together to create their particular atmosphere. Iva Bittova is nice, but a bit less convincing to me (but I recommend the Step Across the Border film to everyone who likes music!). I still prefer your first Morgenstern suggestion.

Dr_wu23: Four great songs here, and four great voices. We're indeed more in the Folk vein here and all four are taking us on a nice musical trip. I would choose between Mary Black and Martha Tilston... maybe the latter one of the two.

And another one, first impression:

wiz_d_kidd:  Thank you for joining in and for this lovely acoustic addition.  Kipyn Martin “Undone” acoustic guitar strumming (squeaky fingers, yay!), clear-voiced vocalist.  Does a bit of fingerpicking, too, for decoration.  Pretty doubled vocals to create harmony.  Perfectly cleanly recorded.  A song to a mentor, perhaps?  A thank-you and an offer to reciprocate, if help is needed, a promise to be this person’s rock when needed.

Many more videos of her on Youtube. She does awesome covers of Joni Mitchell songs (which very few singers can do).

Maybe not obscure enough for this poll but I love me some Lianne La Havas.

First thoughts and welcome to rogerthat:

rogerthat:  Lianne La Havas “Courage” Begins with “watery” electric guitar and a soft voice, a song of lost love and the singer speaking to herself about it.  Kind of a jazz feel to this one.  Ends with “this is the only way out…” kind of like her firmly shutting the door on her thoughts of having to let go.

One singer-songwriter i would like to reccomend is Polly Scattergood, her music is very good
, well done and exploratory journy into sounds. Mysterium and alluring.

She has a diverse set of influences.  

This is trip-hoppy but also evokes Radiohead a little in those guitar figures:



While this one is more straight up soul-like:



All of these from the same album, titled after her name.  The second album from 2015 sounds quite different.

have you understood what happens here in the poll?
no offense... 

If yes, I hope you nominate a final song, listen to all songs and vote for three of them.

Don't know why that wouls be funny. Aimee is great. She has been mentioned before in a previous interactive poll. You can nominate one of her songs. A lesser known one would be good.

Indeed, Aimee is great and VEEEEEEERY underrated methinx :). Well, I'd nominate Humpty Dumpty :)

A reminder to all to consider which of your selections you'd like to nominate for the voting, which I will open up tomorrow (Friday).  I am going to choose Heather Nova's "Island," for this one as it's got a lot of things I enjoy all wrapped up in one piece.  A tough subject, a gorgeous voice, perfect musical atmosphere of depth 
(6 feet under, perhaps?) for the lyrics.

Please note, due to the early "vote," that I will start the entries with the #3 spot, if necessary, will return and use the #1 spot, but I think we'll be OK.

I sticked to one single nomination, so I keep it simple: Nico - Mütterlein

Originally posted by Snicolette Snicolette wrote:

You were right, I think. Desertshore was released in December 1970, according to Wikipedia. Her mother died in that year.

No worries.  Looking forward to hearing more that you've brought to the table, so to speak.  Edited to add (unless you've done so already) you could certainly add a Polly Scattergood song if you wish, or suggest a specific one from this Spotify link.
