Any female vocalists 'round these parts?

I've been half-heartedly looking for a female vocalist/songwriter to work on original tracks with for a while, but now I'm feeling like getting serious about it. I tend to do kind of dubby, mid to downtempo electronic stuff, so I've always been drawn to sultry, soulful female vocals...like Martina Topley-Bird or Dot Allison. I can send high quality mp3's of the remixes I've done with female vocals to give you a better idea, or you can hear some of my stuff here and here. I have other tracks not included on these sites too, and obviously better quality copies that I can send. So anyway, let me know if you or anyone you know might be interested!

Was trying to discretely PM you, but your inbox is full! But yeah, I used to sing with a jazzy-loungey band when I was in France. Think "Girl from Ipanema" and "Summertime" and that will give you an idea.

Haven't done any serious singing for more than 10yrs though. But I could do with a good excuse to start drinking Scotch again - good for the vocal chords, you know.

A-ha! My master plan to force you to go public worked!

So do you have any means of recording your voice so that we can try doing something? Feel free to PM me about the details now that I've cleared out a bunch of space in there.

Meanwhile, is your RTSR email address a good one to send you links to some downloads of recent tracks I've done? You know, just to give you an idea of what your voice would be mixed into. I have a brand new one with a female vocalist that I just finished a couple days ago that I'll include. Maybe I'll also throw in a link to my Play Pig work in progress just for fun.

what about if you used to be a woman...does that count?

Sean, i feel you pain in finding female vocalists... i went through a big Orbital inspiration phase where i wanted to have female vox on my AViD tracks, but no one would do it...i resorted to using text-to-voice applications to gt female voices, which sounded about as bad as you'd expect!

Go for it , Jane! We're all cheering for you to return to your singing!

Yeah, there's just something about great female vocals. For me, I just like playing up their sultriness and getting some good baby-makin' music going. Can't wait to see what comes out of the Beautiful Burnout/Grandbrother collaboration...
