I actually heard that story about Butch Vig convincing Cobain to double track his vocals with the reference to John Lennon and all. I also think it could have sounded good doubled. Leonard Cohen's early work (Suzanne/So Long, Marianne) works great with a single vocal line. Some troubadour type singers are a salient example. The main vocal line of 'Nude,' for example, would have a completely different vibe if doubled.ДЄnd then finally, like others have also mentioned, it's just a stylistic choice. Thom Yorke, and Radiohead's work is a good example. On the other hand, if you're Mick Jagger, injecting a ton of gulps and personality into a very expressive vocal line, I find a double would tend to detract from the energy.ДЄnd finally, I find an opposite but similar mantra is true - when you want the main vocal line to feel very naked/haunting/alone/etc., just go one. It's a fairly straightforward, albeit interesting from a theory perspective, that follows a clear melodic path with little embellishment. In other words, if it's easy to sing it the same way multiple times.ДЇor example, a song like 'God Only Knows' really benefits from a double. Recently, I've found doubling works best when the vocal line, for lack of a better term, is relatively flat, without a lot of personality. Many other people in the comments are rightfully saying 'context matters,' which I think is correct, but I thought I'd provide what I think some of that context to be. I recently feel like I clarified my approach, and now it's a selective tool I can roll out like anything else. I was a huge fan of vocal doubling for the longest time. I'll use this top comment to also offer my two cents.
