A distinctive vocal style that appears, oddly enough, in both symphonic metal and "club" or "dance"-style music, particularly in groups from Europe. One singer is a woman, frequently a childlike soprano, while another is a man with a deep, gravelly voice. They will either sing alternating lines, or one will predominate while the other performs a counterpoint to the first's melodic line, sometimes in a format similar to traditional call-and-response. In symphonic metal or heavy metal, the girl may be replaced by another male singing with a clear tenor or falsetto. Another form of this trope is having the verses screamed or growled and the chorus sung, either by one vocalist or two alternating vocalists. The inversion, having sung verses and a screamed/growled chorus isn't unheard of either. This style is most common in Metalcore, harder Nu Metal and Alternative Metal, some Groove Metal, some Melodic Death Metal, and occasionally Black Metal. This also happens quite a bit in Hip-Hop and R&B, when a gritty hardcore rapper with a raspy voice performs a duet with a silky songbird, either with her singing the chorus in his song or him dropping a verse or two in hers. note Or both. Many collaborations between rappers and singers are of the "Appear in my song and I'll appear in yours" variety. The gravelly male/soprano female combo is usually referred to as "Beauty and the Beast" in the symphonic/gothic metal scene. In this case, the male vocals are usually of the "extreme metal" variety. Finally, it can occasionally work within a dual harsh vocal context, with one person having a low grunt and the other having a higher rasp or howl. This trope is arguably the musical equivalent to Ugly Guy, Hot Wife or Odd Couple, especially when the singers look like what their voices imply (though this isn't guaranteed). |

Dream Theater arguably uses a modified, three-part male version, with lead singer singing soprano through tenor on much of the music, the guitarist singing the occasional detached tenor phrase (beauty and the ghost?), and the drummer doing everything from falsetto to shouting to tenor back-up. (Beauty and the shapechanger?) The song that best fits the duet dynamic, though, is The Dark Eternal Night. |

"Baby I'm An Anarchist" sees Against Me! adding soprano vocals to their normal gravelly ones. "Borne On The FM Waves Of The Heart" does this again, with Tegan Quin (Half of Tegan & Sara) providing the counterpoint to Laura Jane Grace's vocals. |

Blind Guardian has done this sort of thing on occasion, usually without hiring extra vocalists. In other words, their singer has about a four-octave range and does everything from clear singing to very harsh, almost growled vocals, though the rough/clear changes aren't always related to the low/high changes. Hansi Kursch is the Frank Welker of singers. The entire vocal section of A Night at the Opera consists of him and four sparsely used choir vocalists. |

King Diamond is the patron saint and ur-example of this trope in another one-singer case, combining harsh semi-growly vocals with extremely girly falsetto vocals as early as the first Mercyful Fate album in 1983, and continuing to do so for all of his career till present. Some of his latest albums also contain actual female vocals. | |

Early albums by Underoath had drummer Aaron Gillespie back up frontman Dallas Taylor's screams with spoken-word segments while occasionally throwing in screams of his own. In The Changing of Times, he graduated to actual singing, which he would continue after the replacement of Taylor with Spencer Chamberlain. Chamberlain would throw in some clean vocals of his own, eventually taking over both roles for Ø. | |

DEADLOCK may be the best example. Johannes Prem performs really harsh (for melodeath) growling vocals, while female vocalist Sabine Scherer performs in a very clean, girlish melodic voice. Props to being one of the few non-Gothic Metal examples. | |

"Haunted", performed by Shane MacGowan and Sinéad O'Connor (or Cait O'Riordan, depending on the recorded version). Less Soprano And gravel and more like "Soprano & Rusted Pig-Iron". And, above, with his duet with Nick Cave. | |

Unleash the Archers is an unusual example. They're a female-fronted Power Metal band, but singer Brittney Slayes is a contralto with a decidedly non-operatic register. They accent this with Harsh Vocals from her male bandmates. | |

Theatre of Tragedy was the Trope Codifier of soprano girl/grunting man. Paradise Lost and The Gathering had done this before, but Theatre of Tragedy was the first to make it popular. ToT lost the "beauty & the beast" vocals with the album "Aegis" and has been exploring other styles since then. Vocalist Liv Kristine later started Leaves' Eyes with her then-husband, Alexander Krull of Atrocity, in 2003, and then was fired from ToT a couple of years later. Kristine and Krull divorced in 2016 and she left Leaves' Eyes as well, to be replaced by Elina Siirala. | |

Ozzy Osbourne, while not having a particularly deep or gravelly singing voice, still provides raspy male vocals to compliment smoother female ones in at least two songs: "Close My Eyes Forever" is a duet with Lita Ford, and Ozzy and his daughter Kelly did a cover of the Black Sabbath ballad "Changes" and changed the lyrics to make the song about a father/daughter relationship as opposed to a romantic one. And it is heartbreaking. | |

Motörhead and Girlschool qualify anytime they collaborate. I mean, voices don't come much more gravely and raspy than Lemmy's, especially when compared to Kelly Johnson's smoother voice on their collaborative version of "Please Don't Touch". | |

Ex-Chiodos frontman Craig Owens is/was most known for singing in a high falsetto, to then switch to gut-wrenching screams mid-song. Their new frontman, Brandon Bolmer, is a less extreme example. |

Commonly used by Fucked Up, whose main singer Pink Eyes has a guttural growl that contrasts with melodic tenor backup vocals from Concentration Camp or female guest vocalists. Used extensively in the Rock Opera David Comes to Life for duets between the two main characters, David and Veronica. | |

Behemoth's layered vocals could be considered a serious subversion of this, particularly on Demigod, where Nergal would double-track nearly every line on the album, recording himself screaming in a very high pitched black metal style scream, and then bellowing over it with a low roaring voice. A similar effect is achieved live, with Orion and Seth (bassist and rhythm guitarist) providing backup vocals. Three armour-clad dudes doing death growls in unison. It is somewhat intimidating. |

System of a Down features the gravelly singer Serj Tankian and the smoother, softer guitarist Daron Malakian. Their vocal interplay is especially prevalent of Toxicity. On later albums such as Mezmerize/Hypnotize, Malakian stepped up to record his own songs while Serj provided occasional backing to those songs. | |

In a rare case of both the higher and lower voices being sung by the same man, this effect was used by David Draiman of Disturbed to tell the story behind "Down with the Sickness", seamlessly switching between the melodic but sombre 'human' side and the violent monster slowly rising to the surface. The song occasionally has Draiman move between the personas in the course of a single phrase. (it seems you're having some trouble / in dealing with these changes / living with these changes) | |

My Fair Lady and several musicals following it (The Music Man, Camelot, Baker Street) had a soprano principal actress playing opposite a rough-voiced actor permitted to speak through most of his songs: Eliza and Higgins in My Fair Lady, Guenevere and Arthur in Camelot, and Irene Adler and Sherlock Holmes in Baker Street. The closest thing My Fair Lady has to a duet of this type is "The Rain in Spain," which becomes a trio when Pickering joins in. | |

In some of Johann Sebastian Bach' s cantatas, there are duets consisting of a soprano (a soul) and a bass (the Vox Christi, or the voice of Jesus). Usually, the soprano part is sung by an adult woman, but occasionally a child singer may take up the soprano part. One example of this soprano-and-bass duet can be found in the third movement of J.S. Bach's cantata Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (BWV 140). As noted on the Call-and-Response Song entry for the cantata, this movement consists of a call-and-response structure. | |

In Anais Mitchell's Hadestown, Persephone is sung by Ani DiFranco, and Hades is sung by folk singer Greg Brown. Particularly apparent in their duet "How Long", but also appears with Mitchell (as Eurydice) and Brown in "Hey Little Songbird", with Brown's voice often coming out as a literal growl. Eva Noblezada and Patrick Page (the original Broadway performers) are also a great example. | |

"Beauty and the Beast" from their debut album has founder and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen growling opposite Tarja Turunen's operatic soprano. It has become a fixture of the band's songs since bassist-vocalist Marco Hietala joined the band, though unusually for the trope he tends to favor a Metal Scream style. Sometimes inverted since Floor Jansen took over as lead vocalist in 2012: the chorus of "Yours Is an Empty Hope" has Floor growling (using the technique she developed for ReVamp) and Marco providing clean vocals. | |

Cattle Decapitation is an interesting case; while Travis Ryan does use clean vocals, they are NOT your standard clear-cut melodic ones; his are more of a nasally screech that serve less to provide a counter to the harsh vocals and more to create a feeling of unease, as they're VERY unnerving. "Kingdom of Tyrants" is the closest you'll come to traditional cleans, and those are still more in the vein of abrasive post-punk. | |

Rampant in Little Shop of Horrors, notably in any of Audrey II's numbers where the R&B baritone-voiced plant duets with tenor Seymour or soprano Audrey, as well as Now (It's Just The Gas), a duet between Seymour's tenor and Orin's usually gravelly baritone. | |

The Ink Spots had this as their Characteristic Trope. Their songs were known to always start with a short country guitar intro, followed by a high tenor singing a swooping melody, followed by a gravelly deep bass doing a spoken word version of the melody of the first singer. Their Strictly Formula nature got them extensively parodied at the time, but they also sold enormous amounts of records. | |

Wonderful Town has an unusual all-female version in Eileen and Ruth. Eileen is a classic high-voiced ingenue and actually sings coloratura soprano in "Conversation Piece," while Ruth's vocal line sounds an octave lower in some places, being originally written for the gravelly voice of Rosalind Russell. | |

Disco Elysium opens each day with a dream sequence in which your Ancient Reptilian Brain and Limbic System talk to you. Ancient Reptilian Brain has about the gruffest voice ever, and Limbic System talks in a gasping, high-pitched voice. When you sing karaoke, you can have either Ancient Reptilian Brain do it (in a growling spoken word piece, as a sort of pastiche of Tom Waits), or Limbic System take over (in a wheedling, off-key falsetto). | |

The sung version of Apocalyptica's song "Bittersweet" plays with the trope by way of guest vocalists Ville Valo from H.I.M. and Lauri Ylönen from The Rasmus): both are male, and Lauri's higher tenor voice is actually the graveled one in comparison to Ville's velvet-smooth bass. It makes an interesting effect when Ville suddenly slides up into the same range as Lauri. | |

Kamelot's Epica (which came before the band) and The Black Halo do this with only one person. The lead singer, Roy Khan, sings in an operatic voice to represent the Faustian character, Ariel, and a considerably harsher, more distorted, and altogether creepier voice to represent Mephisto. The Mephisto voice on The Black Halo, but not Epica, is actually Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir (Snowy Shaw of a million and a half different bands in the live version found on One Cold Winter's Night.) In further support of the trope, the Helena character is sung by guitarist Thomas Youngblood's wife, Mari. Since Tommy Karevik became their singer, this has shown up at least once on each album. Unusually, the Karevik-era examples feature female growlers (Alissa White-Gluz on Silverthorn and Haven, Lauren Hart (Once Human) on The Shadow Theory, Melissa Bonny (Ad Infinitum) on The Awakening), while Tommy sings cleanly. |

An entire album-long example is found in Lovage: Music to Make Love To Your Old Lady By, with Mike Patton and Jennifer Charles of The Elysian Fields singing duets on every track. Bonus: The album is produced by Dan the Automator. In live performances, they also tended to cover "I'm Real" by Jennifer Lopez and Ja Rule, which already fit this trope... and subverted expectations by having Mike Patton take Jennifer Lopez's part while Jennifer Charles took Ja Rule's. | |
