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.
