History Main / SopranoAndGravel

* Music/{{Jojo}} in her duet with Jordan Gatsby called "What You Like". Soprano and Bass.

** The bonus track "Jane Doe".
** "Our Solemn Hour", "Silver Moonlight", and in "What Have You Done?" with a guest vocalist.

* Home Free, with Tim Foust's BassoProfundo, vs. Rob Lindquist's and Austin Brown's high tenors.

* Pretty common with Music/TheOakRidgeBoys, where Joe Bonsall's high tenor contrasts with Richard Sterban's BassoProfundo. This is especially evident on their SignatureSong "Elvira", which has Bonsall fronting the VocalTagTeam and Sterban providing the song's [[EpicRiff iconic]] "oom papa mow mow"s.

* Fightstar have on occasion used the breathy and strained voice of frontman Charlie Simpson with a much softer tone that is provided by the other guitarist Alex Westaway.

* The Horrors' version of "Still Life" featuring [[Music/FlorenceAndTheMachine Florence Welch]] invokes this trope. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiXkXz9GKoo See for yourself]].

* Music/PeterGabriel's done this trope on more than one occasion; with Music/KateBush in "Don't Give Up", Music/SineadOConnor in "Blood of Eden" and (in a male-male example) African vocalist Youssou N'Dour in "In Your Eyes". His live album "Secret World" features Paula Cole ("Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?", "[[Series/DawsonCreek I Don't Want to Wait]]") doing backup vocals for the whole concert.

* Music/MariahCarey arguably codified this trope's presence in urban music with her remix to "Fantasy", a duet with Ol' Dirty Bastard. "Don't Stop" with Mystikal and "The One" with Bonecrusher invoke this trope as well.

* Music/NickCave occasionally uses this, though the female voice is not always, strictly speaking, a soprano. When he plays "Where The Wild Roses Grow" on tour, he occasionally pulls out guitarist Blixa Bargeld to sing the female verses, and the contrast between the two voices is... less striking but rather more interesting.
** Inverted on his cover of "What a Wonderful World" with Shane [=MacGowan=].

* Music/SarahBrightman does this in a lot of her earlier duets. Mostly the ones with Chris Thompson.
* Music/TomWaits does this when he duets with pretty much anyone who doesn't have throat cancer. In particular, he duets with Music/BetteMidler on "I Never Talk to Strangers" from ''Music/ForeignAffairs'' and has an entire album dueting with Crystal Gayle on the soundtrack to ''Film/OneFromTheHeart''. Heck, his duets with Music/KeithRichards even qualify.
* "Haunted", performed by Shane [=MacGowan=] and Music/SineadOConnor (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.
* Happy Rhodes often sings both parts herself. Perfect example: [[http://rhodesongs.com/music/rearmament/index.html 'Til The Dawn Breaks]] (which, incidentally, is not a duet by Kate Bush and Annie Lennox.)
* Music/{{Supertramp}}'s lead vocals during their peak of popularity were provided by the bluesier, lower-pitched keyboardist Rick Davies and the high tenor vocals of guitarist/keyboardist Roger Hodgson. When Roger moved to a solo career in 1984, auxiliary guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist Mark Hart provided Roger's parts live (and sometimes the second lead vocal parts in the studio), but in a lower-pitched (and raspier) voice, but one still higher than Rick's.
* "[[Music/TheRollingStonesBand Gimme Shelter]]". Merry Clayton is the female vocalist.

* The Street & Babe Shadow employ this with Paige Stark and Luke Paquin, although not as much on the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4qBJI0SvvI only song of theirs on YouTube.]]
* [[InvertedTrope Genderswapped]] as well in ''[[Music/TheDecemberists The Hazards Of Love]]'', whenever William and the Forest Queen interact -- [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfKhydixkeA for example]], "The Wanting Comes In Waves / Repaid".
* Music/{{Queen}} does this from time to time, especially with their more operatic songs like "Bohemian Rhapsody" from ''Music/ANightAtTheOpera'' and "Seven Seas of Rhye"; with lead singer Music/FreddieMercury alternating between a harsh, growling tenor and a clean, piercing falsetto.
** The starkest example would be Mercury's duet with Montserrat Caballé in "Barcelona".
* Music/GrandFunkRailroad: Don Brewer (gravel), Mark Farner (soprano).
** Master mimics Triumph copied this, down to the respective roles being taken by the drummer and the guitarist.
* Chibi from Music/TheBirthdayMassacre, while not reaching the level of gravel that most guys get to, manages to do this on her own in ''Blue'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp1FRKc24Zk pretty darned well.]]
* Music/RayCharles and Betty Carter's duet on [[http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2106845/ray_charles_betty_carter_baby_its_cold_outside/ "Baby, It's Cold Outside"]] is a perfect example. Charles's low growl and Carter's ethereal, floating, ultra-high voice are in stark contrast. Interestingly, Carter was known for having an extremely wide vocal range.
* Music/{{Queen}} has macho tenor Music/FreddieMercury paired with the much smoother-voiced Music/BrianMay.
** Roger Taylor's raspy husky voice paired with Freddie also counts. Note that Roger has also sung way higher and softer than Freddie sometimes, therefore inverting the roles.
* {{Gender Flip}}ped with Music/PatrickWolf where he sings a duet with Music/ElizaCarthy. He has the high parts while she gets the gravel on the song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6MVXUvd0Rk The Bachelor]]. This is the second time he does this as he also had a duet with Music/MarianneFaithfull on his previous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mLhqJMy_WA album]].
* An entire album-long example is found in ''Lovage: Music to Make Love To Your Old Lady By'', with Music/MikePatton 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.
* Music/CrashTestDummies frequently uses this trope, with gravelly lead vocalist Brad Roberts contrasted by the much clearer Ellen Reid. Notable examples include "Superman's Song" and their version of "Good King Wenceslas" from their Christmas Album "Jingle All The Way".
* Music/{{Chicago}} original members Terry Kath (gravel) and Peter Cetera (near-falsetto), particularly on "In The Country" and "Dialogue".
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lauLyQFaIGE "Genesis of Destruction"]], a remixed version of the FinalBoss theme from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' composed by the Music/OCRemix community, incorporates this in its [[RuleOfCool stupendously awesome]] Rock Opera style.

* The amusing contrast between Music/WillieNelson's nasal drawl and Julio Iglesias's smooth but heavily-accented vocal probably played a major role in "To All The Girls I've Loved Before" becoming a hit.
** Music/WillieNelson would later record a cover of Peter Gabriel's "Don't Give Up" with Sinead [=O'Connor=]. She would also perform alongside Van Morrison, singing his hit "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?"
* Music/AbneyPark have an album, Aether Shanties, with numerous examples of this, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aoaynVf0Z4 "The Clockyard"]].
* [[http://www.humanwine.org Humanwine]] does this on a number of their songs, such as [[http://listen.grooveshark.com/s/Rivolta+Silenziosa/2Ec8NP?src=5 Rivolta Silenziosa]].
* GenderFlipped with Shiny Toy Guns with the first track of their second album, "When Did This Storm Begin?".
* "We Share Our Mother's Health" by Music/TheKnife: With the aid of studio effects, Karin Dreijer sings [[SelfBackingVocalist both]] the soprano ''and'' gravel parts.
* Music/TheKLF's collaboration with Music/TammyWynette in ''Justified and Ancient''.
* Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan's musical pairings pretty much invoke this trope.
* Music/RodStewart's "Every Picture Tells a Story". Stewart has a pretty high voice, but he is the gravel when he duets with soprano Maggie Bell on the song.
* [[Music/TheEagles Don Henley]] and Stevie Nicks in ''Leather and Lace''.
* The Beautiful South sometimes do this, depending on exactly who is singing.
* Music/PinkFloyd would do this occasionally. While David Gilmour (with keyboardist Richard Wright on a handful of songs) would sing in a clear tenor, Roger Waters would sing in an intentionally abrasive or even threatening tone on some songs as contrast. This is heard most on ''Music/TheWall'', but is not heard on every song or album. The bulk of the vocals on ''Music/TheDarkSideOfTheMoon'', for example, are clear and melodic often with Gilmour, Wright, and Waters singing harmonies.
* Music/TheBand would occasionally pull this off with Levon Helm and Richard Manuel, the latter singing in a ghostly falsetto.

* PlayedForLaughs and combined with HarshVocals in the Music/{{Vocaloid}} song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpQfB6NgYao "The Highschool Girl Next to Me"]].

* {{Music/Nephew}}'s song "Blå & Black" offers a Male/Female inversion. The female singer has a very clear example of the PerishingAltRockVoice, compared to Simon Kvamms's slightly higher and more emotional singing.
* In some of Music/JohannSebastianBach' s {{cantata}}s, 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 CallAndResponseSong entry for the cantata, this movement consists of a call-and-response structure.
* The Communards' cover of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YUMIkqjYl4 ''Don't Leave me this way'']] is a gender-flipped version of this trope, featuring the glorious falsetto of Jimmy Somerville of Bronski Beat fame, and the deep contralto of Sarah Jane Morris.
* ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil'' has the [=DomZ=] {{Leitmotif}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUUGVVQjUNk Dancing With DomZ]]. One half is sung in a mostly monotone female voice (though some parts get downright operatic,) the other half is chanted in a deep, snarling VoiceOfTheLegion.
* Music/{{Celldweller}}, Music/BlueStahli, Subkulture, Voicians, Varien([[{{Instrumentals}} sometimes]]), actually.... pretty much every artist on [[Music/{{Celldweller}} Klayton's]] label [=FiXT=] are one man examples of this, if they're not {{instrumental|s}}, alternating from ear piercing screams to soaring theatrical cleans.
* Music/ManMan uses this on "Loot My Body" and "Whalebones", where Honus Honus' rough voice contrasts with the female backing vocals.
* The Hillbilly Moon Explosion featuring Sparky [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rlYPb2plaY My Love For Evermore]]
* Music/TwentyOnePilots used a one-man example in songs where Blurryface appears, such as Stressed Out. Tyler sings both normally and has a deeper, distorted tone to represent Blurryface.
* Home Free, with Tim Foust's BassoProfundo, vs. Rob Lindquist's and Austin Brown's high tenors.
* {{Industrial}} group Fockewolf consisted of soprano seductress Severina X Sol and baritone Rob Wilhelm, though they never actually dueted.
* Music/BigAndRich has this, as Big Kenny often sings in a deep, theatrical bass while John Rich sings in a high wispy tenor.
* Music/TendonLevey manages to do this on his own for most of his discography, pairing together his ethereal and androgynous high tenor and his sinister baritone to unique effect.
* Lee Hazlewood (growly Oklahoma drawl) and Nancy Sinatra (innocent and pure, in contrast to the [[{{Tomboy}} tough girl]] persona she adopted on her solo records) did a whole series of these duets in TheSixties that are now considered [[CultClassic Cult Classics]].

* Music/{{Heilung}} play "amplified history." With two grades of gravel! Maria Franz provides clean female vocals, Kai Uwe Faust does harsh male vocals and throat singing.
* Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne of Music/TheMove and Music/ElectricLightOrchestra. Wood sang with a clean operatic tone while Lynne sang with a slightly gravely rock style.
* The best way to tell the Reid brothers aka Music/TheProclaimers apart is through their singing voices. Craig (the usual lead vocalist) sings with a clean tenor voice, whilst Charlie (the guitarist) sings with a nasal growl.
* "[[https://youtu.be/FCYk9KsUKWw Land of Roses]]" by Suicide Commando feat. Charlotte Nuytens is a rare aggrotech/hellektro {{industrial}} example.
* The children's album ''Free To Be...You and Me'' has "[[https://youtu.be/SKqUltWaJJ0 Parents Are People]]" by Creator/MarloThomas and Music/HarryBelafonte. The former sings the "mommies" verse with a clear InnocentSoprano voice, the latter sings the "daddies" verse with a raspy baritone, then the two sing together for the finale.
* Music/ThePogues' rendition of "Fairytale of New York". And while you're at it, make that "soprano and drunken gravel."
* Another [[InvertedTrope Gender-swapped]] example comes in the Music/JoniMitchell[=/=]Music/PeterGabriel duet "My Secret Place", where her voice is noticeably lower than his.

----

* Music/{{Issues}} contrasts the smooth, poppy RAndB (and occasionally rapping) vocals of Tyler Carter with the harsh, aggressive screaming of Michael Bohn.
* Australian ProgressiveMetal band Music/NeObliviscaris are an interesting case in that, since they have two vocalists, they frequently have the soprano element overlaid with the gravel. Most non-GothicMetal metal bands that use this trope use one at a time.
* [[Music/TheBlackDahliaMurder The Black Dahlia Murder's]] lead vocalist, Trevor Strnad, pulls off both shrieking and guttural death growls. Rhythm guitarist Brian Eschbach provides both when doing backing vocals.
* Battlecross mixes shrieky highs with low bellows more along the lines of [[Music/NapalmDeath Barney Greenway's]] vocals than those of their fellow Michiganders in the entry right above this one.
* The song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyhOo-yIpEE Gates Of Glory]]" by ''Twilight Force'' does a male-with-male version where ''Music/{{Sabaton}}'s'' lead singer, Joakim Brodén, uses his guttural voice to contrast with Christian Hedgren's much higher pitch.
* Australian {{deathcore}} band Music/MakeThemSuffer has lead vocalist Sean Harmanis, who does all the {{harsh vocals}} and death growls, while keyboardist Louisa Burton provides light female vocals in contrast.
* Music/{{Hacktivist}} has two sopranos and one gravel, all male. Rappers Jermaine "J" Hurley and Ben Marvin can contrast between the former's clean rapping with the latter's harsh rapping and screaming, while guitarist Tim "Timfy James" Beazley can come in and sing clean vocals for more contrast and/or to deliver a chorus.
* Music/{{Amorphis}} has employed this style ever since ''Elegy'', formerly with guitarist Tomi Koivusaari doing harsh vocals and former vocalist Pasi Koskinen doing clean vocals. As of 2005 their current vocalist Tomi Joutsen performs both.
* Music/{{Slipknot}}'s Corey Taylor switches between clean singing and hardcore shouting à la [[Music/{{Pantera}} Phil Anselmo]] in most songs.
* This is the dominant style of Music/{{Eluveitie}}'s newer albums.
* Music/UnleashTheArchers is an unusual example. They're a [[MaleBandFemaleSinger female-fronted]] PowerMetal band, but singer [[StageName Brittney Slayes]] is a contralto with a decidedly non-operatic register. They accent this with HarshVocals from her male bandmates.
* Death/sludge metal band Disbelief has singer Karsten Jäger, who alternates between John Tardy-esque tortured growls, SpokenWordInMusic, and a gothic metal-style baritone.
* Music/TheHaloEffect's frontman Mikael Stanne normally sings purely with HarshVocals, but on "In Broken Trust" and "A Truth Worth Lying For" he sings the refrains in clean baritone.

* Music/TenggerCavalry is a FolkMetal band that makes heavy use of throat-singing instead of normal HarshVocals, and frequently pairs it with cleans.

* Music/{{Skillet}} uses this with the lead singer and the female drummer during their songs "Hero" and "Awake and Alive."
* Music/ProtestTheHero reverses the above example with the lead singer using a high-pitched power metal style croon (which he will sometimes turn into a harsh scream or a falsetto) with one of the other members supplying backing death grunts. Also, in Kezia, an alto woman will do a lower harmony while Rody sings HIGHER than her.

* "Baby I'm An Anarchist" sees Music/AgainstMe adding soprano vocals to their normal gravelly ones.
** "Borne On The FM Waves Of The Heart" does this again, with Tegan Quin (Half of ''Music/TeganAndSara'') providing the counterpoint to Laura Jane Grace's vocals.
* Inverted in the Punish Yourself song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5SU6IJZ4o8 Dead White Skin]], which features clean ''male'' vocals and the "gravel" coming from ''female'' growling vocals (provided by Candice from French metal band Music/{{Eths}}).
** [[Music/XUSBand X]] had a similar situation, with John Doe having a croon reminiscent of a '40s/'50s singer, and then-wife Exene Cervenka having a rough, punk growl.
* Hatred Surge has a variation with female high-pitched screaming and male growls.

* Davey Havok of Music/{{AFI}} manages to achieve this ''himself'' on certain songs, such as Kill Caustic, Dancing Through Sunday, Death of Seasons and Miss Murder, and certain live performances of Totalimmortal and The Leaving Song Part II.
* Music/TheClash, at the height of their creative power, featured Joe Strummer's growly, raspy baritone and Mick Jones' clear, reedy tenor often at interplay with each other.
* Commonly used by Music/FuckedUp, 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 RockOpera ''David Comes to Life'' for duets between the two main characters, David and Veronica.

[[folder:Alternative rock]]

* Music/LinkinPark have at times contrasted the smooth and rhythmic voice of Mike Shinoda with their lead singer Chester Bennington who uses an angst-filled scream and croon.

* [[{{Music/Him}} H.I.M.]] have played with this on occasion. Notably with their cover of Music/BlueOysterCult's "Don't Fear The Reaper".

* Canadian rockers Calicose occasionally have their female lead singer aided by backing screams from their bassist.
* Music/StoneTemplePilots is a very rare example where there's one singer who does the contrasting high and low vocals. While generally Scott Weiland uses his loud, gravelly voice and high, smoother-sounding croon for different songs, in a couple of them (such as "Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart"), he uses both styles for a contrasting sound.
* {{Music/Swans}} is another example. Michael Gira, with a dull monotone, and Jarboe, with operatic soprano, alternate lead vocals for different songs (although Gira leads in most of the songs). In some cases, they record different versions of the same song, with Gira singing in one version and Jarboe singing in another.

* Ritchie Blackmore usually doesn't sing in Blackmore's Night, but when he does, his voice contrasts with Candice's just right for this trope.
* Music/ThePixies used this trope with Black Francis' yowling and yelling vocals and Kim Deal's feathery voice.
** A lot of Pixies songs do an instrumental version of this by contrasting Black Francis's acoustic or clean-sounding rhythm guitar with Joey Santiago's far more distorted and abrasive lead.
* Music/{{Starflyer 59}}, after Jason Martin started singing deeper, all his backing singers have been falsetto.
* Ex-{{Music/Chiodos}} frontman Craig Owens is/was most known for singing in a high falsetto, to then [[CarefulWithThatAxe switch to gut-wrenching screams mid-song]].
** Their new frontman, Brandon Bolmer, is a less extreme example.
* Music/{{U2}} do this at least twice. "The Fly" contrasts between Bono's low, growly sorta vocals and The Edge's falsetto chorus. Inverted for "Numb": The Edge's droning PissTakeRap contrasts with Bono's high-pitched "fat lady vocals".
** In 1993, Music/FrankSinatra and Bono recorded a new version of "I've Got You Under My Skin", with Bono in his high-pitch mode.
** Later on, U2 recorded a new version of their hit song "One" as a duet with Music/MaryJBlige, her clear tenor vocals contrasting nicely with Bono's low growls.
* Music/PeterGabriel's done this trope on more than one occasion; with Music/KateBush in "Don't Give Up", Music/SineadOConnor in "Blood of Eden" and (in a male-male example) African vocalist Youssou N'Dour in "In Your Eyes". His live album "Secret World" features Paula Cole ("Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?", "[[Series/DawsonCreek I Don't Want to Wait]]") doing backup vocals for the whole concert.
* A Skylit Drive does this with frontman Michael "Jag" Jagmin's high-pitched, ambiguously female-sounding voice, and bassist Brian White's guttural growls.

* NeonHorse: Mark Salomon alternates between guttural and falsetto vocals (and a few other styles). On a few songs, [[SelfBackingVocalist thanks to overdubbing]], he sings both at once.
* The Horrors' version of "Still Life" featuring [[Music/FlorenceAndTheMachine Florence Welch]] invokes this trope. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiXkXz9GKoo See for yourself.]]
* "Sometimes Always" by Music/TheJesusAndMaryChain. The usual raspy sneer of William Reid is paired with the purer-sounding voice of [[Music/MazzyStar Hope Sandoval]].
* Peter & Leah from July Talk. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tdCu8uXQ7k Peter's gravel]] is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU5qp-cAtOU especially coarse]].

* Project Pitchfork's first few albums had Patricia Nigiani backing lead Peter Spilles, with whom she also founded the side project Aurora Sutra.
* Vandal Moon's "Boy Drinks Girl" pairs soprano guest vocalist Nicollette Vaughn (of Nico & Grey) with deep baritone lead singer Blake Voss. Ditto "We Live Forever", featuring Leanne Kelly of New Spell.

* FM Attack's "[[https://youtu.be/hfO7dw9yflY So Blue]]" features backing vocals by Shawn Ward's then [[ChildProdigy five-year-old]] daughter Stella.

* Music/MariahCarey arguably codified this trope's presence in urban music with her remix to "Fantasy", a duet with Ol' Dirty Bastard. "Don't Stop" with Mystikal and "The One" with Bonecrusher invoke this trope as well.

* A number of Ja Rule's own songs also fit the bill, such as "Between Me and You" with Christina Milian, "Put It On Me" with Lil' Mo, and "Always On Time" with Ashanti.

* The duet version of Music/WhitneyHouston's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EjfbyCpAxA "If I Told You That"]], featuring Music/GeorgeMichael, is another gender-flipped example.
* "Luv Me Luv Me" by Music/{{Shaggy}} feat. Music/JanetJackson (replaced by Samantha Cole in the 2001 remix).
* Janet likewise duets with Music/BustaRhymes in "What's It Gonna Be?"
* Music/{{Thalia}} and Music/FatJoe in "[[https://youtu.be/hHYLYpjYtO0 I Want You]]".
* Variations turn up with Music/{{Eminem}}, as he's often rapping in a CreepyHighPitchedVoice. When he has softer-sounding women singing his hooks, they're usually lower-voiced than him.
* Tia Thomas and Music/SirMixALot's [[https://youtu.be/cm0y5UoNhCE rendition of]] Music/GaryNuman's "Cars".

* Music/TheInkSpots had this as their CharacteristicTrope. 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 StrictlyFormula nature got them extensively parodied at the time, but they also sold enormous amounts of records.

* Creator/CirqueDuSoleil's ''Theatre/{{Volta}}'' soundtrack pairs Swedish-Finnish soprano Camilla Bäckman with gravel-baritone Broadway actor Darius Harper.

* The ''WesternAnimation/MerrieMelodies'' short ''WesternAnimation/IHaventGotAHat'' has this in its title song sung by the twin puppies Ham(Bernice Hansen) and Ex(Billy Bletcher).
* Brazilian MTV had the show ''Garganta & Torcicolo'', starring two monsters who were this trope in reverse order - [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eooIgGgyfmA sample here]] - whose names translate to [[MeaningfulName Throat]] and Wry Neck. And both made by the same voice actor!
* "Anarchy" by {{Characters/Ironmouse}} and Bubi of Webvideo/VShojo has the former as the soprano and the latter as the gravel. Somewhat zigzagged as some of Ironmouse's lines are squeaky and raspy, while some of Bubi's lines are smooth-toned.
* ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'': Angel and Husk's [[PepTalkSong Pep-Talk]] duet "Loser, Baby" has the bright, high-pitched tenor Angel (the soprano) contrasting the rough and deep voice of Husk (the gravel).

* Music/TheatreOfTragedy was the Trope Codifier of soprano girl/grunting man. Music/ParadiseLost and Music/TheGathering 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 Music/LeavesEyes with her then-husband, Alexander Krull of Music/{{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.
* Music/{{ReVamp}}'s second (and final) album ''Wild Card'' has an interesting case of a soprano vocalist bringing her own gravel: Floor Jansen learned to [[HarshVocals growl]] like [[Music/ArchEnemy Angela Gossow]] at some point after their 2011 debut. A good example is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADxb6z1Pu3c "Precibus"]], in which Floor sings the verses in operatic style, the chorus in her normal rock-singing voice, and the bridges in a growl.
* Music/{{Nightwish|Band}}, arguably the biggest act in SymphonicMetal, used this from day one. "Beauty and the Beast" from their debut album has founder and keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen growling opposite Music/TarjaTurunen'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 MetalScream style. Sometimes {{inverted}} since Floor Jansen took over as lead vocalist in 2012: the chorus of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtXqUNB8zrU "Yours Is an Empty Hope"]] has ''Floor'' growling (using the technique she developed for Music/{{ReVamp}}) and ''Marco'' providing clean vocals.
* Music/WithinTemptation:
** "Enter" only.
** The bonus track "Jane Doe".
** "Our Solemn Hour", "Silver Moonlight", and in "What Have You Done?" with a guest vocalist.
** Rapper Music/{{Xzibit}} features as the "gravel" half of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awvqIi427_A And We Run]]".
* Draconian.
* Tristania. This is somewhat unique in being a three-part version, combining female vocals, clean male vocals, and death growls.
* Sirenia (though this is not surprising as they are a spin-off group of the above).
* Giant Squid is an interesting example because the female vocalists always do somewhat soothing/operatic vocals, while Aaron Gregory switches between equally operatic and harsh vocals throughout the songs.

* Lacrimosa.
* L'Âme Immortelle.
* Mark Jansen has performed this style with two bands, with Music/AfterForever opposite Floor Jansen (soprano), and since 2002 with Music/{{Epica}}'s Simone Simons (mezzo).
* Music/LacunaCoil[[TropeCodifier .]]
* Subverted by Music/CradleOfFilth with their cover of Heaven 17's "Temptation" (which played this trope straight). While the male vocalist uses a harsh raspy tone (fitting the trope), his female co-singer (Dirty Harry) breaks tradition by having an aggressive, almost evil tone to her voice that occasionally transitions into an aggressive roar. In other words instead of beauty and the beast, we have evil witch and the beast.

* Evilion uses one female vocalist performing cleans, and another performing growls.
* Music/{{Ayreon}} occasionally uses this; for example, "The Sixth Extinction" has Jonas Renske (Katatonia) growling and Floor Jansen (After Forever) in operatic mode singing the same lyrics.
* Swedish BigBand-[[AvantGardeMetal metal]] group Music/DiabloSwingOrchestra will occasionally incorporate growly male vocals with classically-trained female operatic soprano lead vocalist.
* The sung version of Music/{{Apocalyptica}}'s song "Bittersweet" [[PlayingWithTropes plays with the trope]] by way of guest vocalists Ville Valo from H.I.M. and Lauri Ylönen from Music/TheRasmus): 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.
* Music/CelticFrost has occasionally used this, most notably on their comeback album ''Monotheist.''
* Nusic/DimmuBorgir started using this when ICS Vortex was in the band (they had also used it earlier, with "Over bleknede blåner til dommedag" from ''For all tid'' and "The Night Masquerade" from ''Enthrone Darkness Triumphant'').
* Music/{{Battlelore}} goes with a female clean singer and a male harsh singer for pretty much every song.
* Music/FleshgodApocalypse has bassist Paolo Rossi's clean vocals contrasting with lead vocalist/guitarist Tommaso Riccardi's death growls.

* Music/{{Therion}} indulges into this very heavily on their 2012 "Les Fleurs du Mal" album, with new singer Lori Lewis going into the high-pitched Castafiore-type operatic register, while Thomas Vikström sings in a usual growling metal voice. (they are even listed as "Soprano" and "Tenor" in the line-up, respectively!)
* Dutch SymphonicMetal group Music/{{Delain}} tends to have lead vocalist Charlotte Wessels sing in clean soprano, and whenever a song requires harsh vocals, a guest vocalist (or, in the case of April Rain, ex-guitarist Ronald Landa) steps in (See the tracks "Tragedy of the Commons" and "Hands of Gold" for a guest spot for Music/AlissaWhiteGluz). Also, once or twice an album she does a duet with Marco Hietala, known for doing this in his usual gig as part of Music/{{Nightwish|Band}}. Charlotte herself has also provided harsh vocals on occasion.
* Music/TheDarkElement normally avoids this, with the men usually simply singing harmony to Music/AnetteOlzon (when they sing at all). However, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eidS1nyQB50 "Dead to Me"]] includes a few moments of Music/{{Epica}}-esque roars from guest vocalist Niilo Sevänen.

* Music/KingDiamond 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.
* Music/QueensOfTheStoneAge features Mark Lanegan, a singer who solely contributed vocals to albums such as ''Rated R'' and ''Music/SongsForTheDeaf''. His gravelly tone even makes Josh Homme's voice sound smooth.
* Progressive death metal band Music/{{Cynic}} uses this in pretty much every song...sort of. Instead of mixing soprano vocals and gravelly vocals, they mix vocoded robot vocals and growled death metal vocals.
* Music/{{Ensiferum}} uses the double male singer variant. One guitarist uses a mid-ranged rasp, while the other uses a very manly-sounding tenor.
* Music/{{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-GothicMetal examples.
* Music/AsILayDying has the lead vocalist with deathlike growls and their bassist with clean vocals.
* Music/DreamTheater 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 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkF4JD2rO3Q The Dark Eternal Night]].
* Music/{{Otep}} has Soprano and Gravel vocals...both done by the lead singer, Otep Shamaya. Who is a woman.
* Another good example of the same thing is Ukrainian prog-death/djent band Music/{{Jinjer}} and its vocalist Tatiana Shmailyuk, who does growl and clean vocals without a hitch.

* In an extremely rare example, Why She Kills features two women, one using harsh death growls while the other with an operatic soothing voice.
** All-girl metal band Music/{{Kittie}} does this as well. Lead vocalist Morgan Lander used to do mostly screaming, but then settled into both clean and guttural vocals.
* Early albums by Music/{{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''.
* Chad Gray, lead singer of Music/{{Mudvayne}}, typically switches between a melodic PerishingAltRockVoice, a raspier singing voice, and a harsh roar.

* Music/{{Motorhead}} and Music/{{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".
* On Music/{{Dragonforce}}'s third album "Inhuman Rampage" Herman and Sam's former bandmate "Behemoth" from Demoniac provides backing black metal screams and growls on several of the band's songs.
* [[Music/{{Megadeth}} Dave Mustaine]] used layering to achieve a similar effect in the song Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good! He sang it in a low register and then in a high register, and put them together. Don't ask him to sing live, unless you really want to be disappointed. Played straight with their remake of "A Tout Le Monde", which had Dave collaborating with Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil.
** Mustaine also used a sort of Gravel and Sharp Bed of Rocks in the end verse of Five Magics, where he sang in his normal singing voice and then in an even sharper growl.
*** The growl was originally done by bassist David Ellefson but the remaster replaced his vocals with Mustaine's.
* Music/FearFactory have made the one-man version their signature.

* Music/DevinTownsend, in almost all of his work, combines at least six different varieties of growling with clean vocals. For a better example, check out the album "Ziltoid the Omniscient", and then check the liner notes. Yes, almost every single voice on the album was ONE GUY.[[note]]Except for the Omnidimensional Creator and the narrator.[[/note]]
* Related to the Nightwish example above, Marco Hietala's band, Music/{{Tarot}}, occasionally uses Marco's gravel with Tommi Salmela's gravel, making for a sort of echoing beast sound.
* In another male-and-male example, Music/RhapsodyOfFire's CD-single release of "The Magic of the Wizard's Dream" featured a duet version of the album track between singer Fabio Lione (tenor) and Christopher Lee (bass--yes, ''that'' Creator/ChristopherLee)--in four different languages!
* 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 Music/{{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 yo'''u're having some trouble / in dealing with these '''changes''' / living with these '''changes''')
* It isn't their usual style, but Music/{{Turisas}} do this in a few songs (e.g. Midnight Sunrise).
* [=iwrestledabearonce=] did it with its frontwoman Courtney [=LaPlante=], who could use death growl and then switch to more traditional singing in the middle of a song (usually on a single syllable).
* Ditto with Music/TheAgonist, due to Alissa White-Gluz' ability to sing both clean and growling vocals.
* Maria Brink from Music/InThisMoment does both by herself as well.
* Same goes to Arkona's Maria Arkhipova.

* Music/ScarSymmetry does it with two male vocalists.
** They started off with a single vocalist doing both the growling and the clean singing.
* Music/CattleDecapitation 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.

* Music/{{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.
* Unexpect has three vocalists, all of whom contribute both clean and harsh vocals, but there is much interplay between Leilindel's ethereal soprano and the two guitarists' growling and shrieking.
* Disarmonia Mundi does it with growler Claudio and clean singer Ettore. And then there's former member and occasional guest vocalist Speed from Music/{{Soilwork}}, who uses ''both'' harsh and clean singing, resulting in a quite beautiful vocal mess.
* Music/{{Amaranthe}} has a harsh singer, a female clean singer ''and'' a male clean singer.
* D'espairs Ray's singer HIZUMI is an example of a Beauty and the Beast version, interestingly all on his lonesome - much of the band's sound focuses on his ability to switch from fiercely raw growling to an achingly smooth clean singing voice at the drop of a hat.
* Music/IllNino's Cristian Machado is another one-man example. He tends to use several voices rather than just two. He usually alternates between his distinct clean vocals and his signature mid-pitched screams but is also heard doing a whisper-like voice, rap-like speaking vocals, and even lower-pitched growls among others.

* Music/DirEnGrey does this with one guy as well. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to a man by the name of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORHFIJTRw0M Kyo]]. This man can do death growls, screams, clean vocals, shrieks, bellows, you name it; [[ManOfAThousandVoices he can do everything]].

* Music/{{Chimaira}} occasionally does this. While most of their songs feature mainly screamed vocals, sometimes Mark Hunter will throw in some melodic lines in a drastically different voice than he usually performs with.
* God Forbid does it with two guys. Lead vocalist Byron Davis performs the screams/growls, while other members, usually guitarist Dallas Coyle, perform the clean vocals.
* Music/DemonHunter has pretty much made a name for themselves using this style. Long before it was fashionable, they combined melodic choruses with screamed verses. Most of their songs feature this formula.
* Music/{{Nonpoint}} is a strange example. Vocalist Elias Soriano alternates between harshly rapped vocals, screaming, smooth clean singing, edgy clean singing, and fast R&B style delivery. Whether he does it in a whole song or for one word depends on whatever mood the band is in.
* Music/BetweenTheBuriedAndMe's Tommy Rogers does both by himself, although he usually does the harsh singing and uses his clean voice to soften certain parts of the song. His cleans became more prevalent during and after the ''Colors'' era.
* Music/OzzyOsbourne, 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 Music/BlackSabbath 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.
* Asagi from Music/{{D}} is another one-man example of this trope--one of the distinctive features of the band's music is his ability to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvs6GcacLtU switch between]] his regular clean vocals, HarshVocals, and his strong falsetto.
* Music/{{Deftones}}' Chino Moreno alternates between ear-piercing screeches and soothing, tenor clean vocals that, [[PerishingAltRockVoice due to the style]], aren't that easy to understand.
* Music/{{Insomnium}} does this on many songs, layering guitarist Ville Friman's clean vocals with lead vocalist Nillo Sevanen's death growls.
* Blood Stain Child, especially as of Epsilon, contrasting bassist Ryo's death growls with (former) vocalist Sophia's clean female vocals. They seem set to continue this trend with the addition of female vocalist Kiki, who was in part chosen due to her ability to handle both screams and clean vocals.
* Onmyouza, a Japanese Prog Metal band that sings Entirely in Middle Ages Japanese[[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xijrh6_%E9%99%B0%E9%99%BD%E5%BA%A7-onmyo-za-%E8%92%BC%E3%81%8D%E7%8B%AC%E7%9C%BC-japanese-music_music Aoki Dokugan, or Lone Blue Eye]] He's singing as rough as he can.
* [[Music/{{Metallica}} James Hetfield]] provides a single-artist version on "Unforgiven." He growls the verse in his usual HarshVocals but sings the chorus with a clean and clear tenor.

* Music/{{KMFDM}}'s male vocals are usually either [[HarshVocals guttural or distorted]], while the female vocalists sing clean.
* The French electro-{{industrial metal}} duo Krystal System.

* Music/AetherRealm's LeadBassist Vince Jones can switch-hit between cleans and harshes at will, with guitarist Heinrich Arnold providing backing cleans.

* [[http://bubblegumdancer.com/artists/jennyrom.htm Jenny Rom/Giovanna]]
* Danish pop duo [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy-Box Toy-Box]]
* Porcelain Black (AKA Porcelain and the Tramps) is a one-woman example. She alternates between a clear voice and a guttural voice in most of her songs.
** Porcelain Black and Jeffree Star's "Prisoner" is an interesting take on this. Porcelain's part is raspy but very high-pitched. Jeffree's part is in a clear, but deep, voice.
* The song "Killer", by Italian artists Baby K and Tiziano Ferro, is an example. Baby K has a high voice, Tiziano Ferro has an ultra-low voice, and they duet in a call-and-response way. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9B3USSX32I]]
* Early '80s, postmodern Matia Bazar does this occasionally: you have Antonella Ruggiero's refined soprano harmonizing with Carlo Marrale's brassy, earthly voice (Fantasia) or dueting with Giancarlo Golzi's scat singing (Sulla Scia). More notable live (e.g. Live in Munich 1987 and the Mèlo tour 1987), where Golzi will sometimes go entirely bananas with the scat.

* Music/KateBush used it in 1985 with "Waking the Witch". In this case, she provided both voices: one track is her natural voice, the other is a drastically slowed-down demonic growl.
* Trip-hop forerunner [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricky Tricky]] has frequently collaborated with delicate-voiced Martina Topley-Bird.
* Music/MassiveAttack have worked with Shara Nelson, [[Music/EverythingButTheGirl Tracey Thorn]], Nicolette, Sara Jay, Elizabeth Fraser, Music/SineadOConnor, etc.
* [[Music/{{Gorillaz}} "Iss cummin' oop, iss cummin' oop, iss cummin' oop, iss DARE!"]]
* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_McCoy_%28band%29 Real McCoy]]
* Jennifer Warnes duetting with Music/JoeCocker on "[[Film/AnOfficerAndAGentleman Up Where We Belong]]" and then later with Bill Medley on "[[Film/DirtyDancing Time of My Life]]".
** Not to mention with Music/LeonardCohen on "Joan of Arc" from ''Music/SongsOfLoveAndHate'' and pretty much any of his more recent albums.
* An example where the male and female roles are inverted: Music/ArethaFranklin and Music/GeorgeMichael's "I Knew You Were Waiting".
* Another GenderFlip: "What Have I Done To Deserve This?" by Music/PetShopBoys and Music/DustySpringfield. Dusty, already famed for her low, sultry voice, had a noticeably rougher edge to her voice after years of smoking and sang the low part alongside Neil Tennant's boyish, nasal tenor. Likewise, the re-recording of "West End Girls" features contralto backing vocals by Helena Springs.
* "Steal My Sunshine" by LEN, a band led by a [[BandOfRelatives brother-sister duo]] from Canada (the band is just down to the siblings, Mark and Sharon Costanzo, now, but at the time included other members, particularly [[Music/BrokenSocialScene Brendan Canning]]). The song is memorable not only for its bouncy hook ([[SampledUp borrowed from Andrea True]]) and [[IndecipherableLyrics indecipherable]] but probably [[LyricalDissonance depressing]] lyrics, but for the contrast between Mark's raspy, wheezy vocals and Sharon's sugar-sweet, delicate vocals.

* The Music/ScissorSisters.
* Late '80s/early '90s duo Shakespears Sister was an all-female example, featuring Marcella Detroit's very high soprano and Siobhan Fahey's low growl. Mocked mercilessly in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjvHl_q1ohI sketch]] by Series/TheMaryWhitehouseExperience, in which Siobhan's voice was replaced by a ship's foghorn.
* The eminently {{camp}}y Gunther does this ''all the damn time''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eyGLtT4b3o See]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbYtqAWDF2U&feature=related for]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbYtqAWDF2U yourself]].

* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Bouche La Bouche]].
* Music/TomJones and Music/TheCardigans' version of ''Burning Down the House''.
* Music/{{Jojo}} in her duet with Jordan Gatsby called "What You Like". Soprano and Bass.
* Music/BritneySpears in "Big Fat Bass" with will.i.am. Lampshaded with the lyrics being "I can be treble, you can be the bass".
* Gender-swapped in Tony Bennett and Music/AmyWinehouse's duet of "Body and Soul;" Tony is actually the soprano in this case.
** In most other cases, Tony Bennett is normally the gravel. To name one example, his duet with Music/LadyGaga on the album "Cheek to Cheek".
* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_(band) Lime]].
* TR/ST's sophomore album, 'Joyland' is full of these, especially songs like "Rescue, Mister", "Lost Souls/Eelings" and "Joyland". But, in this case, Robert Alfons (the man behind TR/ST) sings both Soprano and Gravel. His first album had an actual female vocalist, Maya Postepski, but she left afterwards to focus on her main band, Austra.
* The doujin circle NJK Records has 3L and maria♂polo, who duet on the ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' remixes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mniBQmXDEI "Last Moments"]] and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCubA3oltGM WARNING!]]".

* An all-male example is Music/WildBeasts, who are fronted by the VocalTagTeam of falsettoist Hayden Thorpe and baritone Tom Fleming.
* Music/{{Tatu}}. Lena was the soprano while Yulia's raspy screaming often made this sound to their music. This is most evident in "Not Gonna Get Us" and "Prostye Dvizheniya."
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXYl-ouceY0 Captain Hollywood Project]] ([[MisattributedSong often confused with the aforementioned Real McCoy]])
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDNMstjuCbY Bingo Boys]]
* Music/TheXX is a downplayed example, as Remy is an alto rather than a soprano, but her breathy voice is still a sharp contrast to Oliver's deep, gravelly baritone voice.
* Bronski Beat's cover of Music/DonnaSummer's "I Feel Love" has a duet remix featuring baritone [[Music/SoftCell Marc Almond]] alongside falsettist Jimmy Somerville.
** Jimmy Somerville also provides a gender-flipped example in the Communards as he was often paired with singing partner Sarah Jane Morris, whose deep contralto was a stark contrast to his voice.
* Euro-techno act East Beat Syndicate featured soprano lead Regi Gedeon against gravel-voiced rapper Eran Ginzburg.
* German synthpop group Masquerade, fronted by singer Drafi Deutscher, sang both the high and low-pitch vocals in 1984's "Guardian Angel".
* Many {{Eurobeat}} songs, especially those produced by Hi-NRG Attack%in the Euromach era%; e.g. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmUBKoAsOJ4 "Super Euro Flash"]].
* Surveillance, a side project of Assemblage 23's Tom Shear, has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWK2FkHteVk "Husk"]], featuring soprano Mari Kattman against Shear's signature husky vocals.
** As the singer of the [[TooGoodToLast short-lived]] duo Day Twelve, Kattman performed both clean and gravel vocals.
* German {{darkwave}} duo X-O-Planet, consisting of angelic soprano Manja Kaletka and demonic basso Goderic Northstar, duet in this fashion on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LveOOq1yT5A "Passengers"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcN6fG0JG6w "Remember"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYBWW0VXubY "Vice Versa"]].
* An early example can be found on Mr. Rainbow, a 1974 track off Music/CasablancaMoon by Music/SlappHappy. Some parts are sung in a very coarse voice by Peter Blegvad, the others in a mellow childlike voice by Dagmar Krause.

* The finale of Music/{{AURORA|Singer}}'s "It Happened Quiet" and parts of "Churchyard" back her ethereal soprano voice with a deep men's choir.
* Music/{{Squeeze|Band}}'s Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford, respectively; it's never hard to tell who sings what.
* On Music/Front242's ''5:22:9:12 OFF'' album, guest vocalist Christine Kowalski sang both the gravel and the soprano parts, although Jean-Luc de Meyer also did gravel vocals on a few tracks.
* Italian duo Music/{{La Rappresentante Di Lista}} enjoyed great success at the beginning of the 2020s, with a few multiplatinum singles beautifully sung by the delicate Veronica Lucchesi. But Dario Mangiaracina's gravelly, raw vocals are a staple of the band's live shows.
* Londonbeat's "I've Been Thinking About You" has a duet remake in this style with Fragma lead singer Damae, who is a {{Moe}} soprano, in contrast with the rough soul voice of Jimmy Helms.
* For Music/WasNotWas, this was best exemplified on "Walk the Dinosaur", with Sir Harry Bowles and Sweet Pea Atkinson, respectively, in these roles (both also a case of VocalDissonance).

* A bizarre example is the [[https://www.bubblegumdancer.com/104-Loco_Loco/project/ Loco Loco]] comedic dance music project, starring CG characters: a big burly man with a fairly deep voice tormented by two mosquitoes, actually male singers whose voices are unnaturally high-pitched thanks to electronic effects.
* Hayley Stewart ([[TheBandMinusTheFace later Florence Bullock]]) and Jared Nickerson of the {{dark| wave}} UsefulNotes/{{synthwave}} band [[https://deadastronauts.bandcamp.com/ Dead Astronauts]].
* Faith Assembly gender flip this trope on"[[https://youtu.be/s0eA1bCpWcQ Redemption]]", where Leigh Bailey sings in a lower register than frontman Mark Stacy, but play it straight on most other tracks.
* The [[https://youtu.be/KzuChQxM0SE title track]] of Systems in Blue's ''Out of the Blue'' features an uncredited soprano guest backing the gravel-voiced male lead.
* Blue Amazon have "[[https://youtu.be/IxvzwvWgnXA Searching]]", featuring Vicky Webb and Danny Campbell.
* Music/RickAstley, famous for his deep soulful baritone voice, dueted with Lisa Fabien on "[[https://youtu.be/OiZlXOAOLLw When You Gonna]]", and Music/KylieMinogue on a [[https://youtu.be/OiZlXOAOLLw live medley]] of his "Never Gonna Give You Up" and her "I Should Be So Lucky".
* Faithless paired gravel rapper Maxi Jazz with soprano songbird Music/{{Dido}} on "[[https://youtu.be/_eOWzapVFr0 One Step Too Far]]".

A distinctive vocal style that appears, oddly enough, in both [[SymphonicMetal symphonic metal]] and "club" or "dance"-style music, particularly in groups from Europe. One singer is a woman, frequently [[InnocentSoprano a childlike soprano]], while another is a man with a [[GutturalGrowler 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.

* Porcelain Black (AKA Porcelain and the Tramps) is a one-woman example. She alternates between a clear voice and a Main/{{Guttural Growler}} voice in most of her songs.

* Project Pitchfork's first few albums had Patricia Nigiani backing GutturalGrowler lead Peter Spilles, with whom she also founded the side project Aurora Sutra.

** Well, [[GutturalGrowler Mark Lanegan can do that to ANYBODY's voice.]] Song for the Deaf from the album Songs for the Deaf comes to mind. And this is Josh Homme singing, one of the perennial badasses of Alternative Rock. And Lanegan makes HIM sound like a baby...

* {{Industrial}} group Fockewolf consisted of soprano seductress Severina X Sol and GutturalGrowler Rob Wilhelm, though they never actually dueted.

* Surveillance, a side project of Assemblage 23's Tom Shear, has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWK2FkHteVk "Husk"]], featuring soprano Mari Kattman against Shear's signature [[JustForPun husky]] vocals.

* Music/{{Squeeze}}'s Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford, respectively; it's never hard to tell who sings what.

* "Anarchy" by {{Characters/Ironmouse}} and Bubi has the former as the soprano and the latter as the gravel. Somewhat zigzagged as some of Ironmouse's lines are squeaky and raspy, while some of Bubi's lines are smooth-toned.

* "Anarchy" by [[WebVideo/Vshojo Ironmouse and Bubi]] has the former as the soprano and the latter as the gravel. Somewhat zigzagged as some of Ironmouse's lines are squeaky and raspy, while some of Bubi's lines are smooth-toned.
