Barbra Streisand Announces Forthcoming Album Details

• 28th Jun 2011

Barbra Streisand's long-cherished desire to release an album of music with lyrics exclusively written by her collaborators and friends Alan and Marilyn Bergman will be achieved with her latest release, punchily entitled What Matters Most – Barbra Streisand Sings the Lyrics of Alan and Marilyn Bergman – released on August 22nd.

What Matters Most… is to be Streisand's first new album since 2009's Love is the Answer, which reached number one both in the USA and UK. This feat gained her the accolade of being the only artist to achieve number one albums in five consecutive decades.

The new album – which Streisand herself personally produced – is comprised of ten Bergman songs which Streisand has never previously recorded, and – reflecting on her long-held desire to release an album of this nature – Barbra comments: “Alan and Marilyn Bergman have a remarkable gift for expressing affairs of the heart.”

“When we write a song, we hear Barbra,” said lyricists Alan and Marilyn Bergman.  “She makes the connection from the heart to the mind, and it emerges through her voice.”
