It’s powerful and inspiring to see two souls sharing a sweet fantasy, but it comes with great risk-public scrutiny. “The whole idea of the man and woman duet” Aiko continues, “Especially a whole project, is just good for people to see.

June and Johnny, Sonny and Cher, Jane and Serge, pop culture is no stranger to romantic pop duos.
