Overview
- The album marks Streisand’s first studio release since 2018 and follows her 2023 memoir My Name Is Barbra.
- Collaborators include Bob Dylan, whose 1970 crayon-written invitation was realized on “The Very Thought of You,” as well as Paul McCartney, Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande, Laufey and more.
- Streisand prayed for her voice to return after recording the 970-page audiobook that left her hoarse, then went on to record multiple tracks across genres.
- “Letter to My 13-Year-Old Self,” her duet with Laufey, topped the iTunes chart earlier this month ahead of the album’s debut.
- Having retired from touring, she plans to keep making music as long as she has her voice and draws inspiration from family moments that inspired the album’s title.
