Best Female Vocalists Ballads

I am on the lookout to add to my extensive collection of music. It's been a while since I was 'on the lookout' for such.
My favorite music is ballads, male and female. Any suggestions on music spanning, say the past 5 or six years?
Album name AND Artist.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I love ballads and female vocalists/singer song writers. Here are a few. Allison Krause, Mary Fahl,Vienna Teng,Emmylou Harris, Lori McKenna,Melody Gardot. I agree with the poster who recommended Adele. Amazing voice.

More than six years old (sorry), the ultimate ballads recording by a female
vocalist is, for me, "Here's To Life" by Shirley Horn. Featuring
the arrangements and some of the songs of the great Johnny Mandel, its a
must-have.
For something current: a very interesting singer and one of the best female
jazz talents out there; and one who writes her own material, is Carmen
Lundy. Her brand new "Soul To Soul" is worth checking out.
