duet

A duet with Haircut 100’s Nick Heyward, “The Go-Betweens” boasts the angular chorus of an ’80s radio anthem, while Orbital’s Paul Hartnoll lends his magic to the tribal bounce of “Take Me to the Pilot.”

On Sapphire - the album's best song - he enlists Indian superstar Arjit Singh for a duet, trading vocals in a mixture of English, Hindi and Punjabi over a lilting beat.

Sharing a quirky love of song, the unlikely duet interrupted a Senate floor session with a rendition of “Big Rock Candy Mountain.”

He got into playful duets with drummers and a moving one with Kidjo as an intro to “Summertime.”

His hymnal theme begins as a gentle woodwind duet, which is passed to strings and then accelerates into soaring triumph to accompany Bryant’s heyday.
