One of my greater musical regrets is not discovering Shikhee sooner. Female voices have always been at the forefront of modern music, and she continues this tradition. Just throwing some names out, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, L7, Shonen Knife, Sonic Youth, Nic Endo, and Tori Amos come immediately to mind. I'm probably showing my age with the heavy GenX bias, but so be it.
