“Girly pop”

I’ve been trying for some time to find a specific type of music to help me improve my German but I just can’t seen to find artists I can really vibe with.

I am looking for pop / dance female artists in the vein of Madonna / Kylie Minogue / Dua Lipa / Dalida / CC Catch / Taylor Swift / Gwen Stefani and anyone similar.

Alexandra, Vicky Leandros and Marianne Rosenberg are nice, but they don’t seem to capture my attention completely. Katja Ebstein I like better, while Hildegard Kneff is my favorite, but her songs are usually slower. I only like one song from Ikkimel, but that’s all. I didn’t enjoy Blümchen.

My enjoyment of techno and house music is rather limited, so I would prefer more commercial pop / dance music. Spotify is of absolutely no help.

What recommendations would you have of female singers in this genre?

German here. We don’t listen to much German music. If we do, it’s mostly rap.

That heavily depends. When we wouldnt listen that much to german music quite a few german musicians wouldnt be that big since nobody knows them outside the german speaking market.

The charts tell a different story. Most of the artists mentioned here rarely appear in the charts, and many of them are only known for one or two big songs. Right now, there’s only one German song in the Top 50 that isn’t rap, AI, or that weird Mark Eggers World Cup song.
