New Edition Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I'm looking for Female Adult Contemporary singers to add to my playlist. Something like early Mariah/early Whitney/early Celine. Adele. From any era really. I'm also curious if this genre is dead and if so what happened to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayn Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Anita Baker - Rapture Sade - Diamond Life Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy Everything But The Girl - Amplified Heart Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes Some great albums in the realm you are looking for I believe <3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator MissedTheTrain Posted July 5 ATRL Moderator Share Posted July 5 So just like big vocalists? Stream Chemistry But also stream Meaning of Life because that did have a lot of influence from artists like Whitney and Mariah (but mainly Aretha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not my preferred zone but Rapture is another Mom classic. Fiona Apple's first three albums kind of fit in this realm? Maybe Alanis but I don't know her post-Jagged content as well. Just thought of Sheryl Crow. @New Edition I don't think it's dead with the size of AC radio as a format but we don't hear as much about the new class of artists especially online. Makes sense with shows like American Idol becoming less popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is like the Australian version of Celine/Mariah/Whitney. She wrote Eyes On Me for Celine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking for a more recent act, I'd definitely recommend you Freya Ridings, which could fit in the AC genre with a contemporary edge. She's got an amazing voice, great melodies and two strong albums! It shouldn't take you long to discover all of her music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Fox Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Not necessarily similar to the albums you listed but these two albums are excellent and are a #1 on my AC household And before Adele in the UK, there was Dido. Such one of my fave singers in the world 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
