That's sort of what I would have guessed, which fits some of the women posted. But some of the artists posted don't come close to that, and many are treating "smoky" as "smokeshow", i.e. hot.

The biggest examples of this dichotomy (from my personal taste):
Janis Joplin and Nina Simone, quintessential smoky voices. Not hot IMO.
Halsey, not a smoky voice, but hot.

And the OP includes "duh" next to Sheryl Crow and Edie Brickell, like those are obvious choices, which leaves me really confused.

I agree w Danno.... to me, smokey means bluesy, with deep musical talent, sometimes ripping into a crazy lick or vocal part but most often understated.

OP should clarify the intent

Never heard of Halsey... ack, couldn't make it 20 seconds into that shit. Nice bum tho

No love for Pat????

My perv brian just assumed smoky meant hot.

Not a good artist, just hot.

And it can be any kind of artist too.
