Perhaps this is a case of different strokes for different folks; maybe there is a somewhat low-key approach in Aimee Mann’s style that won’t appeal to all listeners, and that’s to be expected. Your observation is accurate and I like the comparison you make here to Jewel, who’s also one of my favorite singers.

Lyrically, I can dig Mann’s music, but other than that, she is just a bit too mellow, a bit too soft spoken, and doesn’t really have that dramatic effect to go along with it to pull if off like other successful female vocalists do. For example, Jewel’s “Foolish Games” is very soft spoken and mellow, but it’s that certain key she hits at the same time and the dramatic tone that makes you feel what she is singing. I just don’t hear that with Mann.

I’ve always been a fan of Aimee Mann. Unfortunately, I tucked her album away a couple years ago. Looking at her very nice site and listening to her music again has me looking for the album again. I’ve always been a fan of female vocals. On my music playlist, a majority of songs are voiced by females. I believe that gals are capable of offering a certain degree of emotion that very few guys can reach. It’s people like Aimee Mann that makes me look up the lyrics to all of her songs and compare those meaningful lyrics to my own life. A fantastic singer, she is.

I actually like Aimee Mann’s singing voice; it’s rather on the lowish alto range, and it has a smoky quality that’s perfect for the song Calling On Mary. I also like She Really Wants You….it’s really a song that fits my musical tastes.
