The record, The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two, will be released June 27 and also feature duets with James Taylor, Seal, Sam Smith, Hozier, Josh Groban, Tim McGraw and Laufey. There is also a tune that’s a collaboration between Babs, Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande.
“I’ve always loved singing duets with gifted artists. They inspire me in unique and different ways…and make our time in the studio a joy!” Streisand shares, noting the album, “gave me the chance to work and play with some of my old friends, label mates, and new artists too.”
She adds, “I admire all of them… and I hope that you’ll enjoy listening to our collaborations as much as I enjoyed recording with all of my wonderful partners.”
And Babs is giving fans a preview of the record with the release of the first single, a cover of “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” featuring Hozier. The tune, written by Ewan MacColl, was made famous by Roberta Flack. It is available now via digital outlets.
