Barbra Streisand's star-studded new duets album to feature some of pop's biggest names
Barbra Streisand is releasing a star-studded album of duets, The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two, set for release this June.
The 11-track collection features collaborations with musical icons including Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, James Taylor, Sting, Seal, Tim McGraw, Mariah Carey, and Ariana Grande, among others.
Leading the album is a rendition of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" with Hozier.
The song, originally penned by Ewan MacColl for Peggy Seeger, gained widespread recognition through Roberta Flack's version (famously featured in Clint Eastwood's Play Misty for Me).
'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 said in a statement.
"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.'
The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two comprises both covers and original tracks.
It will be released on June 25.
The album is a sequel to Streisand's 34th studio album Partners, which was released in 2014.
That record features duets with Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, Andrea Bocelli, John Mayer, and John Legend, among others.
It also features a version of 'Love Me Tender', sung alongside a vocal sample of a 1956 Elvis recording.

Clint Eastwood Explains Why He's Not Done Directing Movies at 95 — GeekTyrant
Clint Eastwood may be 95, but retirement? That's not in the script. After the release of Juror #2 in 2024, many assumed the legal thriller would mark Eastwood's final bow as a director. The film performed well with both audiences and critics, and whispers swirled about it being his swan song. But, Eastwood recently put those rumors to rest in an interview with Austrian newspaper Kurier (via Reuters), sharing why he plans to keep calling the shots behind the camera. 'There's no reason why a man can't get better with age. And I have much more experience today. Sure, there are directors who lose their touch at a certain age, but I'm not one of them.' Since the 1950s, when he first appeared on the small screen in Rawhide , Eastwood has never stopped evolving, first as a Western icon, a great actor, then as a bold, thoughtful filmmaker. His directorial debut Play Misty for Me in 1971 kicked off a career filled with character-driven dramas, moral complexity, and a refusal to play it safe. From Unforgiven to Mystic River to American Sniper , Eastwood has proven he love being a filmmaker and telling stories. Even now, Eastwood's approach hasn't changed. When asked about the current wave of franchise fatigue and reboots, he responded: 'We live in an era of remakes and franchises. I've shot sequels three times, but I haven't been interested in that for a long while. My philosophy is: do something new or stay at home.' Eastwood, meanwhile, remains focused on telling fresh stories with something to say. His most recent effort, Juror #2 , is another reminder that he's still chasing creative challenges rather than coasting on past glories. What's next? According to Kurier, Eastwood is in solid physical health and already in pre-production on his next project. The man simply doesn't slow down. And, and I guess, why should he? If anything, Eastwood is showing us what a lifetime of storytelling experience looks like and he refuses to stop and I love that about him. He's not just defying expectations about age, he's outworking most people half his age.

The queens of collaboration in Lucius are finding themselves again musically
NEW YORK — The magic created by the vocal blend of Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe, collectively known as Lucius, has opened many doors for them in the music industry. Sometimes quite literally — like when they arrived at the home of Joni Mitchell, invited by Brandi Carlile to sing at one of her 'Joni Jams,' and Paul McCartney answered their knock.
