things that come to mind are:
Noname - Telephone Bjork - Vulnicura Mary Halvorson - Away With You Julia Holter - Have You In My Wilderness Tomeka Reid - Tomeka Reid Quartet Nicole Mitchell - Mandorla II: Awakening Juçara Marçal - Encarnado Elza Soares - A Mulher do fim do Mundo Solange - A Seat At The Table La Lá - "zamba puta" FKA Twigs - M3LL155X (I know this is an EP but whatever it's fucking great)
If I had a gun to my head I would probably pick the Mary Halvorson album because it had a huge impact in my listening habits, with Juçara Marçal being a close second.

In no order...
Jay Som - Everybody Works Solange - A Seat at the Table Grimes - Art Angles Julia Holter - Have You in My Wilderness Gaby Moreno - Posada (I think that's the album with a lot of Xmas tunes on it. I love her voice and covers)
This was a quick list off the top of my head, so I tried to go with the artists/albums I listened to the most over the past few years.
