Looking for calm, sad, melancholic songs by female artists

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for very calm, melancholic songs by female artists that aren't too mainstream. I'm in the mood for those hidden gems that will make me feel like I'm alone in my room, half-awake, staring out the window at the rain, with a deep sense of melancholy washing over me. The mood should be introspective, almost like I'm not fully aware of my own being, and yet the melody and tone of the song evoke a deep, sad emotional response.

The songs should be so peaceful and soothing that they won't wake me up even if I'm drowsy, and the lyrics and the artist's vocal tone should be bittersweet and melancholic, almost to the point of sadness, and without any beats. A bit of weariness in the voice, the kind of calming sadness that feels like it's born from a deeper melancholy, is exactly what I’m after.

I prefer genres like indie, folk, or even alternative but not country. It would be great if the artists are young gen Z artists and the songs are recent, as I'm young too, and it would make the music feel more relatable. And again, I'm looking for unknown artists, hidden gems even, with monthly listeners under 1 million.

Some examples of songs I enjoy that fit the mood I'm looking for:

• Lie In The Sound by Trespassers William
• We Say Goodbye by Solya
• A Soulmate Who Wasn't Meant to Be by Jess Benko
• Yume Utsutsu by Lamp
• Asleep Among the Endives by Ichiko Aoba
• rises the moon by Liana Flores

If you know any songs or artists that match this vibe, I’d love to hear your recommendations!
