In 2020 we are making a bigger deal out of how wet the nether regions are rather than the quaity of music being made. Granted the people doing this must have never heard of Lil Kim. This also gives me the chance to take break from the lists of androgynous guys and makes this one.The top 40 hottest female artists, might come one day I am bored at some point but right now we are just focusing on the music. After all if you are writing good songs that stick in my head I do not care what you look like. You are not going to see artists here that I feel are covered by those who do what they do better or are such originators in their genre why listen to imitators. Not only does this list give commonly under rated artists their proper place, but I dig into as expected from me both harder and darker artists not mentioned in the same breath as pop artists. Speaking of that is covered by a handful of ladies as more would be redundant. There is one big one here in particular that takes care of everything . Only one rapper, and they are unique , and this is about their impact on music as a whole so iconoclasts not strippers with prodiucers or entertainers alone. Since this the Abysmal Hymns list there will of course be a darker slant and singer's with any gospel leanings that are blasphemous are obviously disqualified. So here we go...
30- Beth Cameron - Forget Cassettes
A wonderful lyricist, great guitar player and possessing a very dynamically emotive voice that is as vulberable as it angry. While the band only has three albums. Two of those are phenominal .
29-Toni Halliday -Curve
Her purring alto is sex set to music. But she is not limited to that . She can go into a more sing song rap like voice when her band takes a turn toward the more industrial side of 90s alt rock.
28-Emile Wandelmer Gold
Not just a sweet voice. She is a capable guitar who channels powerful sonic layers. Vocally she has a melancholy sense to her melodies . Stotic rather than being overly emotive.
27- Lauren Mayberry - Chrvches
She is not only the singer but the drummer of her band. Her voice is sugary pop like while cating a gray shade of melancholy over her smart lyrics. She has a tremndous sense of melody. Much smarter pop than Billie Ellish.
26- Fever Ray
Like a darker version of Bjork she is not content with making pop music though very capable of it. Most noted for writing would would later be the "Vikings" theme song. She bends world music and electronica through her own filter of weird.
25- Imogen Heap
She was way ahead of her time when it comes to quirky pop. The new Charli xcx album certainly draws heavy influence from her. Her sense of harmony is unrea and melodies are uncanny.
24 Laura Pleasants -Kylesa
She has a powerfu roar that mellowed into a more surreal post punk delivery, though her strength lies in her guitar playing . From a crushing chug to more intricate space rock , she has a range as a guitarist.
23- Marissa Nadler
Her ethereal take on dark country inflected folk , doesn't just work off a sound she has created but her ability to write even more haunting, he also has a somewhat secret metal past.
22-Melora Creager -Rasptutina
She has the market cornered on victorian chamber music. Sure Black Tape For a Blue Girl uses cellos, Melora, just does it with more bals when needed and has a knack for writing more hooky songs with a touch of 90s angst.
21- Lana Del Rey
She took a retro pop sound and married to modern songs with more grace than Amy Winehouse. She has proved her self to be a more consisten song writer than Winehouse who devolved into a one hit wonder
