Nisshoku Natsuko is a female singer-songwriter who’s gained popularity as a piano-playing vocalist.

She’s not an artist with an extremely low voice, but she does have a nicely relaxed lower register.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is “vip?”.

The section where the chorus builds in voltage and then drops suddenly into a low part really brings out the allure of a low voice.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
