Streisand Duets Album — SCOOPED Here — Officially Announced, with McCartney, Sting, Dylan, Mariah & Ariana, Hozier (Hear First Single)

Barbra Streisand’s next album of duets is coming next month.

Readers of this site know all about it because I’ve announced it exclusively over the last year.

“The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two” has been scooped here many times.

This column has told you exclusively in the past that Paul McCartney, Sting, James Taylor, Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande, Bob Dylan, and Seal are featured on the album.

“Secret” is produced by Peter Asher, famous for all of James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt’s hits.

The first single is a cover of Roberta Flack’s “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” with Hozier.

This album showcases Barbra singing contemporary pop songs since the 70s when she recorded “Stoney End” with the late Richard Perry.
