Grammy-winning artist and multi-Platinum singer-songwriter Charles Kelley is stepping into a new era with ‘Songs for a New Moon,' his second solo album set for release this summer. Embracing the lush, cinematic sounds of ‘80s pop, Kelley’s latest project signals a fresh perspective—both musically and personally. As we enjoy his fabulous new song ‘Can't Lose You' it made us think about all the duets he's done over the years – he's been particularly busy recently as Lady A remain on hiatus due to Hillary's pregnancy. That hiatus might extend even further than was first expected now given Charles' wife is now also pregnant.
So – here are Charles' Top five duets with a playlist of 12 at the bottom of this article:
With Kelleigh Bannen on ‘Nothin' On'
A sultry, atmospheric love song that gets the best out of both these fabulous singers and really highlights Kelley's breathy, urgent vocals.
With Karley Scott Collins on ‘How Do You Do That?'
Their voices work so well together in the anthemic, melodic chorus!!
With Tyler Hilton on ‘The Way That She Loves'
A moody ‘Need You Now' style chugging classic from 2019 that suits Kelley's voice down to a key. Great song and great catchy, commercial chorus on a song that easily could have been a Lady A hit.
With Colt Ford on ‘Young Americans'
A classic ‘small town' song from 2017 featuring two Kelleys! A breezy, laid back Country song with a bunch of heart.
With A Thousand Horses on ‘Sad Country Songs'
A timeless piece of retro 70s style Country rock from A Thousand Horses which is augmented by Kelley's evocative vocals. A bar room heartbreak song with a classic feel.
Kelley has also duetted recently with Alyssa Bonagura on her song ‘Old Piano.' We also loved the song he did with Laci Kaye Booth and who can forget him stepping in for Lee Brice at the CMA awards in 2020 on her number one hit ‘I Hope You're Happy Now?' You can find all these songs on the playlist below:
