Is there a TVTropes page for when a band starts entering their 30s and the lead singer (or very rarely someone else in the band) starts putting his wife singing on tracks? (Especially if the band shifts in a more generic rock direction as they age.)
And I don't mean instances where the wife is themselves in a band or whatever, like when Max Bemis started putting his wife on every other track it wasn't entirely out of place with all the other people guesting on tracks since she is part of Eisley. But we should still log that.
And while I'd like it logged as well I'll forgive it when it's like one single song all time and you get the feeling they were like "we need a female vocalist, oh, we could ask my wife."
I've noticed it quite a bit over time but my impetus for this post was coming across an amusing example. The band famous for this Saints Row 2 classic:
Have an album a decade later after that's full of Christian rock tracks like this featuring the guys wife helping him sing about Jesus:
