Florence And The Machine, Lykke Li, Marina and the Diamonds, Lorde, Fiona Apple, Nancy Sinatra, Halsey (although honestly I really, REALLY dislike Halsey and don't get the hype. And only about 1/3 of her songs fit that description so...).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
