The next generation of country music is well on its way, and as of summer 2025, two of its most mesmerizing acts are direct descendants of two of the most well-known country singers of the past 30 years. We're talking about Audrey McGraw and Lukas Nelson, of course! On Friday, June 6, Audrey (AKA Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's daughter) revealed that she and Lukas (Willie Nelson's son) have been working on duets together and finally had the perfect opportunity to perform one live. 'Lukas and I wrote 'Descent into Love' a few days after we met,' Audrey shared on Instagram. 'It was the first song we wrote together... been holding onto it for a while, but the other night we finally got to share it live. I can't wait to put it out one day, it's a special one.' To put it lightly, fans of Audrey and Lukas, as well as of their families, agree. 'Country royalty,' one fan commented on Audrey's post. 'I need to have this song readily available! It's BEAUTIFUL,' someone else exclaimed. 'Giving total Johnny and June connection vibes. Truly,' another Instagrammer remarked. 'Such a beautiful melody and a haunting romantic song. What a cool surprise to see who the artists are singing this amazing song! Always been a fan of your families,' another person marveled.

While it's unclear when it will drop, Audrey has confirmed that an album is on its way. "We just finished in April! The album was recorded in Woodstock. And honestly, it was amazing," she said in an interview with Dôen. "It's really special to see the songs I've written come to life, and work out some covers that we're doing, and just kind of see everything build up over time, with everyone's help. It's been so fun. I want to live in the studio." In the meantime, you can catch Audrey on tour with Brandi Carlile for her Lost Time Tour in Europe now through July 14.

Barbra Streisand on the Duets That Define Her: ‘I Like Drama'
To Barbra Streisand, a duet isn't just a song. 'It's a dramatic process,' she said. 'It's wondering who is this guy in the song? Who is this girl? What's happening with them?' Figuring that out plays straight into Streisand's core identity as an artist. 'I'm an actress first,' she added. 'I like drama.' Small wonder she has performed character-driven duets so often, so creatively and with such commercial success. In October 1963, following the release of Streisand's debut album, Judy Garland invited her to appear in an episode of her TV show; their joint performance all but anointed the younger as her vocal heir. In the decades since, many of her highest-charting songs have been duets, starting in 1978 with Neil Diamond on their death-of-a-love ballad, 'You Don't Bring Me Flowers,' followed the next year by her diva-off with Donna Summer on 'No More Tears (Enough Is Enough).' Both shot straight to No. 1. In the early 1980s, she scored two Top 10 Billboard hits with Barry Gibb, chased by a dalliance with Bryan Adams In 2014, Streisand issued an entire album of double billings titled 'Partners,' which teamed her with stars from the quick (John Mayer on 'Come Rain or Come Shine') to the dead (Elvis Presley via a vocal sample from the singer's 1956 recording of 'Love Me Tender'). Both that album, and its follow-up, 'Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway,' scaled Billboard's peak. Next week, Streisand, 83, will release a sequel, 'The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two,' featuring contemporaries of different musical sensibilities, like Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan, as well as younger voices including Hozier and Sam Smith.
