Who could this female vocalist be?
I like the voice and music of a contemporary “raspy” voiced female singer whose songs are more about love and compassion generally speaking than in a lover’s context, at least the ones I have heard snippets of. This is not a big help but she is a popular recording artist. Might you have an idea who she is?

Leslie Feist sometimes sings raspy. Perhaps
NVM not nearly as raspy as the others. MACY GRAY? Perhaps? MACY GRAY
Thank you everybody, we may be getting a bit closer to the bullseye or a bit closer in clues. Did one of the artists you have listed, have a song that included lyrics about windows and doors? Thank you for your patience and help!
I was going to say Adele also. My husband loves her music. Her whole Album/CD is good.
Lenka is a current recording artist (from Australia and probably best known in that country), with a song called You Will Be Mine that mentions windows and doors. Her song Knock Knock mentions doors. I wouldn’t call her voice raspy, though.
KT Tunstall is a popular recording artist with a very raspy voice. Her song Glamour Puss mentions a window.
Imogen Heap has a raspy voice. She does guest vocals on Meantime — mentions a door. She has a very popular song called Hide and Seek — doesn’t mention windows or doors, but seems to be describing objects in a room, including walls. She used to be the singer for Frou Frou, which had a song called Shh which mentions a door (“pull that door shut quietly”).
Jackie DeShannon had a song from the ‘60s called Windows and Doors. So, that’s obviously not current, though she’s still releasing albums.
Shakira has a raspy voice and sings a song called “Eyes Like Yours”. Below are some lyrics, that mention “windows and doors”. Not sure if this is who you are looking for.
”...Tearing down windows and doors
And I could not find eyes like yours…”

Most definatly Shakira or Adele.
Well you are for me a lurvely bunch of people… Thank you all for your help! You have introduced me to even more great female “raspies” than I ever could have imagined were out there. I had a couple of songsters intertwined in my mind. I have lots to explore now and there are some very fetching possibilities to narrow it right down.
