Like I said, my favorites aren ot necessarily who I think are the best singers/artists, whatnot- and I'd think others share that.

Skye Edwards of Morcheeba

Dido for her solo stuff and her work with Faithless

Tracey Thorn of Everything But the Girl and on the mind-blowing song Protection from Massive Attack (didn't really care for her solo stuff though...)

Shara Nelson who also worked a bit with Massive Attack (Unfinished Sympathy, Safe From Harm)

Elizabeth Fraser more vocals for Massive Attack (Teardrop)

Costanza Francavilla who worked with Tricky on his album Vulnerable

and of course the many talented vocalists who have worked with Zero 7

but my absolute favorite has to be:

Geike Arnaert of Hooverphonic, who recently left the band () but is now recording solo stuff ()

also worth mentioning for their unusual (yet still beautiful) voices are:

Alison Shaw of Cranes

Melora Creager of Rasputina

and last but not least, the wonderfully talented Björk Guðmundsdóttir
