We can start this top female indie artists list with the unreal female-fronted band: Wolf Alice! Listening to them is like freeing yourself from a weight that you’ve been carrying for way too long.

All I can say about Men I Trust is how inspired I am everything I put one of their songs on. Especially the ones with unreal guitar solos, like in All Night! The voice of Emmanuelle Proulx is soft like silk and the bass, guitar and keyboard sounds are glassy and intriguing as we like them. And I’m definitely not the only one to feel this way about ...
This one is most definitely the most known of the list. And for good reason ; she earned her place among the best female indie artists a long time ago and hasn’t left it ever since. Florence Welchis the absolute queen of vocals, and she spreads her magic with a disconcerting ease and powerfulness. She performs with her band, created in the outstand...
