Not exactly what you're asking for, but there's this thing called "shape note singing."
There's a long story of why it exists, but people still do it, and even though it has roots in religion, and the songs are religious, the groups you find today never perform in a religious capacity.
Get a buddy and go to one of the meetings. Everybody sits in chairs, in a circle and everybody sings. No instruments, just voices.
It's a beautiful, eerie sound which always falls flat in recordings.

Jonny Craig man, my absolute favourite singer. I feel like he's great in early DGD but he peaks in Emarosa, specifically on the album Relativity.
Dude's personal life is a mess but you can't deny his amazing talent. It's good to see he's back with a new album. Hopefully he stays clean and healthy.

Bruno Mars
Amber Bain of The Japanese House has a really nice voice.
There's also Caroline Polachek, who I am pretty sure actually has perfect pitch. She is one of the most technically impressive vocalists of her generation IMO.
Billie Elish has an amazing voice
Oliver Wickham
Celine Dion, Adele, or Andrea Bocelli for sure
When Brandi Carlile’s voice cracks and she belts out the chorus near the end of The Story, it’s just incredible. There are better singers, technically, but the pure, raw emotion conveyed is powerful (to me anyway).
She can yodel, as well. Super talented.
