A few ladies I've been listening to a little lately:
Jenny Lewis has come a long way from "Doing the Freddy" - loving this one (this live version doesn't sound as good as the album version I don't think).
Kind of enjoying Maggie Rogers, too. I can't tell whether her dancing excitement is an affectation or not, but it's. . . interesting. Can't say she isn't feeling the music. I like it (the music and the dancing in these videos).
Jess Ray - kind of stumbled across this one on spotify, but I'm enjoying it.
