There's something about soul music that is very comforting. Husky vocals add so much depth and screams EXPERIENCE. Some may be blessed with the voice but others get it through years of singing(or smoking). When vocal cords are strained it is best to postpone vocal activity until the tissue has repaired itself. But if you're truly passionate about singing and not just a teeny bopper's idol, you will continue to sing regardless. By singing while healing, the tissue repairs unevenly thus resulting in that sexy husky voice. No sythesizers here, just pure talent. That rawness is the essence to any good soul music.
Noisettes is an indie group from the UK that formed in 2003 but only recently gathered fame from a Mazda commercial. The lead singer Shingai Shoniwa has a soulful voice yet manages to incorporate it into indie rock.
Adele is also another UK artist. She sounds just as amazing live as she does on record.(Her music reminds me of Amy Winehouse minus the narcotics)
