Usually i wouldn’t think twice if two names are printed in full on the cover. These are two separate artists who work together.
But there’s a problem: There’s enough information to be found on “Kristin Lash & Jakob Grey” and actually none at all on the individual artists - try [Google Search](https://www.google.com/search?q=Kristin+Lash). They have their website together, their social media accounts - you will find none for Kristin Lash or Jakob Grey (maybe their private accounts, but none as an artist).
I have decided to make them a group - [“Kristin Lash & Jakob Grey”](https://musicbrainz.org/artist/1c0529cd-87b8-49a4-af22-f9920d78c5f0). Otherwise i wouldn’t have known what to do with the relationships. But I am by no means convinced of this solution and would like to hear opinions.
It would also be possible to use the shortened name “Lash & Gray”, mostly used but not on their release, and to suspect after their website - [www.lashgrey.com](https://www.lashgrey.com/), neither on the next one.
I hope for suggestions!

I agree with your approach for an ongoing duet, especially one that has shared websites and social media. See also [Simon & Garfunkel](https://musicbrainz.org/artist/5d02f264-e225-41ff-83f7-d9b1f0b1874a) or [Daryl Hall & John Oates](https://musicbrainz.org/artist/debabff3-2559-46e5-862d-ef2a906d7010) for similar examples.

Honestly, i’m not sure if the project is going to last that long. They are young people and are currently successful…
At least they’ll have a second album - out Sep 24. 😂

Very few duets last as long as Hall & Oates have. 🙂 When I said “ongoing”, I just meant longer than a single project.
