Just a suggestions, but maybe try to listen to her without the comparisons or expectations of what a singer should sound like. She has an absolutely amazing and intriguing voice and I feel like it fits the songs perfectly. The songs are dreamy, but in a sort of dream-distorted kind of way. Her voice, like the music, sounds like it's from a distant past, but not a completely familiar past. I'm sure you can think of a lot of famous singers who don't have conventional voices. It often takes an audience of people open to things that are different to bring those unique voices to the forefront. Forget about Betty Boop or Olive Oyl. Just listen to Jessica and hear her voice as her own. Again, you can do what you want. But, being open to things that are different or even uncomfortable makes the world a much bigger and interesting place. Humans come in all sorts. Our art should reflect that.
