Voici les 50 meilleures chanteuses américaines dans une playlist sur Spotify et, pour chacune des interprètes, j'ai sélectionné leurs cinq plus belles chansons.
Je tiens à préciser que je n'ai aucune aptitude pour le chant et que je m'y connais que très peu pour l'aspect technique et sur la façon de chanter. La sélection et l'ordre est simplement une question de feeling et de goût. Le but de la playlist est de faire découvrir quelques-unes des plus belles voix parmis les artistes féminines américaines.
Si vous n'êtes pas abonné à Spotify, la playlist va présenter que les cent premières chansons. Il est possible de s'inscrire gratuitement mais il faut supporter la publicité.
