Can you sing Love Lies by Khalid & Normani?

Love Lies is a two-voice conversation, and its combined researched range runs F#3 to D#5, a 21 semitone span that no single band covers comfortably. The verses idle low and smoky in the F#3 neighborhood, trading lines over a slow R&B pocket, and the deciding moment is the final chorus stack, where the upper harmony line pushes to the D#5 ceiling while the low part keeps anchoring underneath.

Sung solo, you are choosing which half of the duet to inhabit. Altos come closest to owning both: one semitone over the top, one semitone of clearance at the bottom, essentially the whole song with a single flexible note. Mezzos clear the ceiling with room but sit three semitones below their floor on the lowest lines, which is fine if those lines get sung as murmurs. Tenors face six semitones over the top, the full allowable drop, and sopranos give up six at the bottom. No verified key is stored on this entry, so set your transposition from the last chorus: find the highest sustained note you can sing at eighty percent effort and shift until D#5 lands there.

Practice cue: pick one part and stay loyal to it for a full pass before you try covering both. Duet melodies punish singers who lane-switch mid-phrase; decide your lane first, then borrow the other part only where your voice genuinely reaches. Khalid & Normani built it as a dialogue, so treat it that way.
