Top 10 Best Singers of 2024

1. K.S. Chithra

   

   Krishnan Nair Shantakumari Chithra, often credited as K. S. Chithra or simply Chithra, is an Indian playback singer from Kerala. She also sings Indian classical, devotional, and popular music. Chithra has recorded over 25,000 songs in various languages and is a recipient of six National Film Awards.

   She keeps improving every year and gets even better and bigger, yet remains humble to the people around her. She is one of the best singers alive today. Her voice is distinct, allowing her to perform a range of genres and still fit each one perfectly.

   Chithra is absolutely an extraordinary singer. I believe she is one of the best singers ever, but I also believe that every singer has his or her time. Hopefully, she continues to make great music the way she does.

   K.S. Chithra is number one in many ways. Talented, gifted, poised, with a heart of gold, she is extremely well-mannered, beautiful, gracious, and respectful. She is just the greatest!

2. Dany Villarreal

   

   Expressive, powerful voice. She has blossomed into an amazing frontwoman and is generous with the spotlight when one of her sisters takes a turn. Physically expressive - you can see how deeply she connects with the emotions in the lyrics, whether they are hers or Pau's. She commits fully to each song. She doesn't show off (beyond the level expected for her genre). Her job is to deliver the song, and she does so with charisma to spare.

   Hearing Dany sing is enough to knock you off your feet - her range, tonal sweetness, and instantly memorable melodies flow exquisitely from hauntingly serene to rivetingly powerful. But seeing Dany sing is another universe! If you haven't seen this incredible young musician doing her thing, get on it. She's life-changing.

3. Lady Gaga

   

   Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress.

   Early in her career, she performed at Lollapalooza on August 4, 2007, as part of "Lady Gaga & The Starlight Revue," where she was noticed by Interscope Records executive Vincent... read more

   Looks like she is still going strong. Her vocals on Die With a Smile and Happy Mistake are great, and Disease doesn't sound bad either. I have a feeling that LG7 won't be disappointing.

   Die With A Smile is a great song. I can't wait to see what else she has in store for us.

   Die With a Smile and Disease are both amazing, and I can't wait for her next album!

4. Paulina Villarreal

   

   While singer/drummers aren't new by any means, I have never seen a drummer who can play intricate patterns and fills while singing like they're standing still at a mic stand and belting out an opera. Pau is amazing. Her ability to turn her voice crack on and off like a light switch, which she uses to break your heart, is unparalleled.

   Not to mention, she's also a composer, writer, director, and piano player.

   As strong a vocalist in her way as Dany is in hers. Her style is more theatrical but equally committed to the meaning and melody as her sister's. When she steps out front, she is a powerful performer, with a style distinct from Dany's yet complementary. Not to mention the fact that she sings just as well while drumming as she does when she is not drumming.

5. Dua Lipa

   

   Dua Lipa (born August 22, 1995) is an English singer and songwriter who has achieved international success. She was born in Westminster, London, to Albanian parents originally from Kosovo.

16. Karan Aujla

    

    Aujla's been having a great 2024, starting with the Street Dreams collaboration album with Divine, releasing a number of singles, and then the Four Me EP. Each of these projects has a different feel to them, making them fresh and worth re-listening to several times. If Aujla keeps it up, he may be among the greatest Punjabi singers and lyricists of all time.
