Billie Elish has an amazing voice
Brandi Carlisle is completely wasted on country music. I saw her at a music festival when she was mostly playing rock music and some covers and holy shit she has such effortless range.

Wayne Cochran, Soul Brother Number Two (according to James Brown):
Dan Avidan Everything he sings turns into pure gold wrapped in silk
Noora Louhimo - the lead singer of battle beast and Emelie Autumn

I sing in an amateur choir led by a professional singer, and his voice is the purest, warmest, cleanest sound you can imagine. I melt every time he sings a solo or demonstrates part of a song to us.

Not exactly what you're asking for, but there's this thing called "shape note singing."
There's a long story of why it exists, but people still do it, and even though it has roots in religion, and the songs are religious, the groups you find today never perform in a religious capacity.
Get a buddy and go to one of the meetings. Everybody sits in chairs, in a circle and everybody sings. No instruments, just voices.
It's a beautiful, eerie sound which always falls flat in recordings.
Tracy Nelson, Dorothy Morrison, Beth Hart, Hank Williams, Johny Cash, Linda Perry to name a few of my favorites.
Mimi Parker was an absolutely amazing singer. If anyone reading gets a chance, "Holy Ghost" by Low will show you what I mean.
There are SO many great offerings here, but Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins), I think, blows them all away. https://piped.video/results?search_query=cocteau+twins
Kenton Chen singing I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt. Haven't heard of the song before hearing his version. Now that's my original version of the song.
