Fed up with Krall, Norah Jones and alike ?

Then try Lyambiko, a daughter of Tanzanian / German origins, and make sure your jaw lands softly as it lands on the floor.
I'm so fed up with all these Fräulein-Wunder being popped out of the major labels drawers, just to repeat Blue Notes Norah Jones miracle. Whole lot of pooh, there.
Exceptions for my taste:
Lyambiko: A raw diamond, not yet FULLY shining, but isn't it more fun to watch people rise than get to know them when they are on the top, already ? Good co-players avoid the usual cliches. Here's the link
Muriel Zoe: Such a fresh and respectless way of murdering "standards" and "xovers" (like great versions of Johnny Cash's "Ring Of Fire" or Beatles songs). Swings much more than most of the boring rest.
Madeleine Peyroux: Not new at all, but with a long pause before her second CD. She's been talked about, here, not much to add. She's got that feeling grown in the street (while she was a singer, there)
Feel free to disagree or add your examples of (female) singers worth remembering in 5 years.
cheers
Stefan
