Which non-folk singers would make an amazing folk album?

For me I'd be most interested in a Kesha folk record... Something in the vein of Spaceship! I think she'd shine on a full project like that and Gag Order has really shown how much potential she has.

 

Also, I see Miley Cyrus being a good candidate for a modern folk record, she's obviously dabbled in country but the thought of something in the sonic realms of She's Not Him or Fweaky makes me excited!

 

Both these artists could really make a psychedelic folk album and it's something I'd love to see!

 

I know Lana Del Rey dipped her toe in to the folk water with some of her last projects but I think she'd be able to make it a commercial success and it not seem too off brand?

Madonna. If she worked on her voice a bit like she did during Evita-COADF and changed her image a bit, it could be big for her. 
 

She’ll never do it tho. The Madonna I see today is no longer the one I grew up with.

obviously it could never happen now but it would've been amazing if alice in chains did more folksy stuff while layne was still alive (not familar with really anything post-layne as of right now)

Sky Ferreira (referencing songs like Sad Dream, Ghost, Rancid Girl and Home Sweet Home)

She made a folk album with American life though- it’s just folktronica
