In a year defined by collaborations -- is there anyone Bruno Mars did not sing with? -- here are the most interesting records of 2010 that featured the partnering of male and female vocals. Indie rock performers especially recalled golden eras of boy-girl duets, the work of Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood, Ian and Sylvia, and, dare we say it, Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes.
Here's a seven-song playlist of the year's finer efforts.
7. Beck and Bat For Lashes, "Let's Get Lost" A track from the "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" soundtrack, it has an odd common ground with the Medley-Warnes hit "(I've Had the) Time of My Life." Obviously, it's from a film, but it also has a here-and-now sexiness, a throaty beckoning in the opening verse that leads to a mortised union of two voices. The dramatic arcs in both song are rather similar as well.
