Elizabeth Davidson Fraser (born 29 August 1963, Grangemouth, Scotland) is a Scottish singer, best known as the vocalist for the dreampop pioneer group Cocteau Twins. Described by critic Jason Ankeny as "an utterly unique performer whose swooping, operatic vocals relied less on any recognizable language than on the subjective sounds and textures of verbalized emotions," Fraser's distinctive singing earned much critical praise (to her chagrin, she was once described as "the voice of God.") Fraser's singing veers between semi-comprehensible lyrics and abstract mouth music;

fans have oft-debated the inspiration and meaning of her lyrics, but over the years Fraser has been reluctant to discuss such topics.
