Lemon! I don't know if you listened to/listen to Clairo (she can be guilty of whisper singing), but her latest album is produced by Leon Michels and he used to work with Sharon Jones and Charles Bradley! You might find something your speed, my personal favorite is Add Up My Love :)
Hello Ada!!!! Yessss! I must confess I haven’t listened to the whole album, but I’ve heard a lot of the tracks on my favorite nightly radio shows!!! I did know it was produced by Leon Michels of the El Michels Affair but I don’t know that I realized he worked with Sharon and Charles!!!! Amazing!!! Thank you for letting me know!!
I do have the album downloaded, I just need to sit down and listen to it.
I think Add Up My Love is my favorite track that I’ve heard so far too 💛💛💛
Assisted by the talented multi-instrumentalist Leon Michels, they created a beautiful production filled with nostalgic touches. Though much of her third album leans towards quiet introspection, Clairo continues to excel at creating pure pop bliss. The details of this album call for close, intimate listening.
Today Adele turns 35 (born May 5, 1988). The first time I ever heard here was on the videos she recorded at WTMD in October 2008. Here from that session is "Right As Rain". And now she is singing in Vegas.

Rights As Rain
Songwriters: Nick Movshon, Jeff Silverman, Leon Michels, Clay Holley and Adele Adkins
Who wants to be right as rain?
It's better when something is wrong
You get excitement in your bones
And everything you do's a game
When night comes and you're on your own
You can say, "I chose to be alone"
Who wants to be right as rain
It's harder when you're on top
'Cause when hard work don't pay off, and I'm tired
There ain't no room in my bed
As far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off, we
Won't be making up
I've cried my heart out
And now I've had enough of love
Who wants to be riding high
When you'll just crumble back on down
You give up everything you are
And even then you don't get far
They make believe that everything
Is exactly what it seems
But at least when you're at your worst
You know how to feel things
See when hard work don't pay off, and I'm tired
There ain't no room in my bed
As far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile please
We won't be making up
I've cried my heart out
And now I've had enough of love
Go ahead and steal my heart to make me cry again
'Cause it will never hurt as much as it did then
When we were both right and no one had blame
But now I give up on this endless game
'Cause who wants to be right as rain?
It's better when something is wrong
I get excitement in my bones
Even though everything's a strain
When night comes and I'm on my own
You should know I chose to be alone
Who wants to be right as rain?
It's harder when you're on top
'Cause when hard work don't pay off, and I'm tired
There ain't no room in my bed as far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off, we
Won't be making up
I've cried my heart out
And now I've had enough of...
No room in my bed
As far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off, we
Won't be making up
I've cried my heart out
And now I've had enough of love
Woah, yeah, had enough
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, do, da, oh
