...junior) couldn’t be a smarter move. The songs retain her country sensibilities, and while she doesn’t attempt any groundbreaking country themes, White’s presence is definitely felt. “Portland, Oregon,” for example, Lynn’s duet with White, could easily be mistaken for a Yo La Tengo song for the first full minute. There’s no confusion here, though; Lynn is still doing what she does best, and country’s soulful violins and funny songs about God are in attendance. The best...
...lyrical prodigality was evident from the score for his first film: Mani Ratnam's Roja, the tale of a woman whose lover is kidnapped by terrorists. Through this grim political parable, Rahman laced some spectacular melodies that not only serve the drama, they create their own?as in the duet ballads Yeh Haseen Vadiyan and Roja Janeman, which first are grounded in recitative, then soar into celestial melody.

Barely a generation has passed since the white singer Petula Clarke insisted on touching the arm of black musician Harry Belafonte during a duet on her 1968 NBC special. Despite pressure to cut the segment in “deference” to (racist) Southern viewers, NBC exercised the good judgment to leave the duet...
...vibe for your latte, she was providing the sound track for your dinner party, the theme for your prom--or maybe the last dance at your biker bar. The diversity of her admirers wasn't restricted to consumers either; she is almost certainly the only person ever asked to duet with Dolly Parton, OutKast and Elmo from Sesame Street. "It's her voice, man," says OutKast's Andre 3000. "It's just so nice. It doesn't matter who you are, she kind of whispers, 'I'm your friend...
