Nikki Parrott - Sugar Sweet

[Audire]

This is a great song. Such a detailed and yet relaxing song. On the album “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.“

Great suggestion, the whole album is great for relaxed listening. Apart from the mentioned song, I also love "Downtown".

Yes we enjoy Nikki a lot. We have most, if not all, her albums. And her “Downtown” is excellent. Like you said it’s relaxing music.

Do you have any recommendations for similarily themed albums, with female vocals creating a relaxing atmosphere?

Nikki is kind of hard to beat IMO. Some others (though not all the same theme) that help me relax are Julie London, Jane Monheit, Beegie Adair, Diana Panton, Emilie-Claire Barlow, Jacintha, Nana Mouskouri, Sinne Eeg, and Victoria Tolstoy. Petula Clark’s “Downtown” is great.

If I’m feeling a need for a little more rocky female vocals I normally listen to the Carpenters, Alison Krauss, Carly Simon, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt, and rarely Celine Dion. Oh I shouldn’t forget Eva Cassidy, she has a stunning voice too.

What an extensive list, at least a few listening sessions are sorted now... Adding to the list of recommendations, Sade's vocals and style will never get boring to me, maybe it's not the most "Jazzy" kind of music, but her vocal performance is truly one of a kind.

Oh Sade is awesome. I especially like her song “Mermaid” on her album Love Deluxe.

Great choice, the whole album is great. However, "The Best of Sade" gets a lot of playtime too...
