Who was this female singer?

[IDontHaveThePelvisForAFuton]

I can't remember any part of her name or any of her songs, just that she was definitely British with long dark curly hair and a belting voice. She had one or two big hits in the early to mid 90s I think. Googling what I can remember isn't coming up with anything so hopefully someone will know who I'm on about

Beverly Craven?

Katie Melua?

Samantha Mumba?

Do you recollect any of the lyrics? Was she british?

None of those. Definitely British and I think there's a northern accent, Manchester maybe? She was really pretty with a very wide mouth.

Heather Small?

Lisa Stansfield? Her hair wasn't long though.

Sinitta?

Lisa Stansfield?

Sonia

I assume race would probably help narrow it down somewhat.

I was thinking Safe but I don't remember her with curly hair

Norah Jones?

Ugh....Sade!!!

Dina Carol?
Lisa Stansfield?

Dina Carroll??

Sade was 80s, Norah Jones is American.

It's definitely not Alanis Morrisette? I don't think you could mistake her for a Mancunian but she fits the other categories!

Pretty sure she's white with long black/dark curly hair. She was quite famous at the time! I thought she was a stock aitkin waterman singer but can't find anything.

Leona Lewis?

Shola Ama?

Sonia comes to mind and I didn’t even know I remembered her.

Kate Bush

Kate Bush? PJ Harvey?

Yes! Thank you. A Perfect Year is the song that was on the tip of my tongue but I couldn't remember any of the words.

So sorry everyone for the awful description. Obviously not white and Northern
