Barbra Streisand is bringing a musical celebration to her fans with the release of The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two, album set to drop on June 27, 2025.
This album follows her 2014 hit Partners and promises an incredible collection of duets featuring some of the music industry’s biggest names, including Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Ariana Grande, and Mariah Carey. Streisand, a legend in her own right, continues to push musical boundaries, pairing her iconic voice with a range of contemporary artists.
One of the album’s highlights is One Heart, One Voice, a powerful collaboration with Ariana Grande and Mariah Carey. The three vocal powerhouses join forces for a track that is sure to captivate listeners. Streisand also teams up with Hozier for a poignant rendition of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, a song that has become an enduring classic, originally made famous by Roberta Flack. Hozier, reflecting on the experience, described working with Streisand as a great honor, recognizing her as one of the most influential vocalists of our time.
Other collaborations on the album include My Valentine, a cover of a 2012 song by Paul McCartney, and The Very Thought of You, where Streisand pairs up with Bob Dylan to offer a jazz-infused take on the classic, a song that’s been covered by legends like Nat King Cole and Billie Holiday. The album also features duets with Sam Smith, Sting, Tim McGraw, Josh Groban, Seal, and James Taylor, creating an eclectic mix of voices that cross genres, making this album a unique musical journey.
Streisand’s musical collaborations are always special, but The Secret of Life feels like a particularly significant project. The album was recorded at The Streisand Scoring Stage in Culver City, California, and also features orchestrations from William Ross and David Campbell, with recordings at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London. These arrangements help create a cinematic atmosphere that perfectly complements Streisand’s voice, elevating each song to new heights.
The album’s tracklist showcases a variety of emotions and musical styles.
