Daryl Hall and John Oates have continued to record together since the 1970s, releasing 18 studio albums and several more live and compilation albums during the course of their career. As of 2023, their last album, titled “Home for Christmas,” was released in 2006. They haven’t put out any new music for almost two decades, but in 2021 Hall spoke to Vulture about how he and Oates have managed to keep their partnership going for over 50 years.

“We’re both very individual people in every way. And we don’t step on each other’s toes. And we allow any kind of freedom that one would need,” he shared. “There’s never been any kind of feeling of competition … We never went that route. We have a pretty casual relationship. That’s what I got to say. It’s more like brothers. You know your brother. You don’t see your brother that often. You just have a casual relationship over a period of years.” Speaking to the Los Angeles Times in 2022, Hall also seemed to make fun of the constant speculation surrounding his friendship with Oates, mocking how people assumed they must be at odds if they were not always working together.
