Here is a list of some songs that give me similar feelings that Portishead does. They are not exactly like Portishead, but IMHO definitely worth a try.
Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy,
Massive Attack - Teardrop,
Röyksopp & Alison Goldfrapp - Impossible,
Röyksopp - Vision One,
Saint Saviour - This Ain’t No Hymn
Massive Attack is closer to Portishead, but they don’t have female vocals on all of their songs. Röyksopp goes to a bit different direction but they have many songs with different female vocalists that might be something you like.
Might also try Zero 7. Their earlier albums feature vocals from Sia and Sophie Barker, as well as José González. All three have smooth evocative voices.
Sia: Destiny, This Fine Social Scene, The Pageant of the Bizarre, Speed Dial No. 2
Sophie Barker: Spinning, Passing By, In the Waiting Line, In Time
José González: Futures, Left Behind, Today, Crosses
These were all among my favorite songs almost two decades ago, when Trip Hop was at its height. Some I would still consider to be pinnacles of music.
