Belgian singer. Geike is probably best known for fronting trip hop group Hooverphonic (who she joined when she was only eighteen) in the late '90s and early '00s, but she has since branched off and established herself as a solo artist. Vocally, Geike's upper register is generally very light and soft ("Battersea", "Renaissance Affair") with her head voice becoming a very prominent feature of her vocal approach as her career progressed ("One", "Sometimes"), but her lower register is a surprisingly strong one. Definitely a unique singer with one of the most ethereal tones out there.
{A Few Examples of Her Voice}
Something from her solo career - great dynamics, low notes, some backing high notes up to B5 and a lovely beltier section towards the end.
Some of my favourite E5s ever here!
A showcase of her light upper register juxtaposed with her weighty lower third octave notes.

Questionable notes are any notes of questionable significance. In short, this spoiler acknowledges notes that I am aware exist, but do not want to contribute to the singer's range.
