Western duet songs: Top 10 male-female duets from around the world (1–10)
SeñoritaShawn Mendes & Camila Cabello
Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello – Señorita
With its Latin-inspired style and the duo’s sensual vocals, “Señorita” is a track released in 2019 by Canadian singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes and Cuban singer Camila Cabello.
The song, which portrays a heart tossed about by love, resonated with many listeners and consequently achieved the feat of reaching No.
1 on the Billboard charts.
It’s a piece where Mendes’s cool vocals intertwine with Cabello’s poignant, sultry voice.
Baby It’s Cold Outside duet with Michael BubleNEW!Idina Menzel
Idina Menzel & Michael Bublé – Baby It’s Cold Outside
It’s a male–female call-and-response style duet by Idina Menzel and Michael Bublé.
They’re constantly conversing, and it feels like they really click in the chorus.
Since it’s like they’re taking turns talking, it gives off a musical theater vibe.
The song is under three minutes, so if you have someone to sing with, it’s easy to invite them! Because there’s more spoken-style delivery than pure singing, if you perform it as if you’re just talking normally, it can strain your throat.
If you project as though you’re speaking to someone a bit farther away, your vocal folds will vibrate better and it’ll be easier to produce sound.
Imagine calling out to a store clerk who’s a little far away—like “Excuse me!” or “Could you help me, please?” It’s a great pick when you want to create a mature, moody atmosphere.
Here’s the song that Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper sang in the 2018 film “A Star Is Born.” The lyrics convey that we’re no longer in a shallow relationship.
It starts with a slightly country feel, and the chorus sung by Gaga is striking, but the female part seems quite challenging.
There aren’t many harmony sections, so give it a try.
When it comes to iconic Disney duets, “A Whole New World” immediately comes to mind.
The song was created as the theme for the 1992 film Aladdin, and after the movie’s release it was recorded and released as a single by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle.
It reached No.
1 on the U.
S.
charts and won Best Original Song at the 65th Academy Awards.
In 2019, Aladdin was adapted into a live-action film and the song was re-recorded, performed by Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott.
I think it’s one of the most famous duet songs in the world, so definitely give it a try!

S.
