Here's the latest news on Barbra Streisand ....
VINYL 1963 RELEASE
There is a CLEAR VINYL release of The Barbra Streisand Album that is being advertised for sale this month. Most websites are listing it as "Imported" ... I asked my Columbia/Sony contacts about this, and they are unaware of this release.
So that means that it's probably a European release taking advantage of their different copyright laws. This is NOT a Sony product. Order it if you'd like ... it's not part of her official discography though.
MATT'S REVISED BOOK IS OUT
Simon & Schuster asked us to release the same book at a higher price. But we thought it was weird to charge more for an out-of-date book. So I made major updates, revisions, etc. We changed photos. And we included all of the new albums since my book last came out - up through The Secret of Life. You can order it here, and you will most likely see it in Walmart, Barnes & Noble, and other brick-and-mortar stores now that S&S are distributing it. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

ROBERT REDFORD DIES
Today, the iconic actor Robert Redford died at age 89. Besides founding the Sundance Film Festival, he starred in many of America's favorite movies: Barefoot in the Park, The Sting, All the President's Men, Out of Africa, the Natural ... and The Way We Were with Barbra.
Barbra wrote on her social media:
“Every day on the set of ‘The Way We Were’ was exciting, intense and pure joy.
We were such opposites: he was from the world of horses; I was allergic to them! Yet, we kept trying to find out more about each other, just like the characters in the movie.
“Bob was charismatic, intelligent, intense, always interesting— and one of the finest actors ever.
The last time I saw him, when he came to lunch, we discussed art and decided to send each other our first drawings.
He was one of a kind and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him.”
MRS. FOCKER RETURNS ??
The newest chapter of the Focker family movies, Focker-in-Law, is currently filming (with Ariana Grande appearing as the wife of Ben Stiller's son in the movie). Barbra stated in recent interviews that she was unhappy with the last two films in the franchise -- she wasn't paid as much as the other actors.
But on the Emmy Awards red carpet on Sunday, Ben Stiller teased the viewers that Barbra may be back in the new film.
“I mean, we all would love it," Stiller teased. "We’re in process."
So stay tuned. Maybe Mr. Stiller can lure Barbra back for a cameo as his mother, Roz Focker.

UPDATES IN STREISAND-LAND
I hope everyone is having a great summer.
There's not been a lot to report about Barbra since the release of the Partners 2 album. The Frank Marshall documentary about Barbra is being worked on now, but no release date has been divulged because it's a work-in-progress.
Simon & Schuster is distributing the revised version of my book, Barbra Streisand: The Music this November. (You can preorder it here)
I've updated the book with all of Barbra's most recent albums (including Partners 2) and more. My publisher, Scott, and I have started a fun YouTube four-part series in which we have created a 20-song playlist for a hypothetical new fan who wants to know what makes Barbra's music so great.
Well, tune in to hear what we have to say in our geeky way, LOL. The first two episodes are up.
Scott & I are publishing our lists on Spotify, so if you'd like to follow along here are the links (songs 1-10 so far...):
ALAN BERGMAN DIES
Alan, according to the AP, "died late Thursday at his home in Los Angeles, family spokesperson Ken Sunshine said in a statement Friday. The statement said Bergman had, in recent months, suffered from respiratory issues “but continued to write songs till the very end.”
He was 99 years old.
On her Instagram, Barbra wrote:
Alan Bergman was not only a prolific lyricist, and incredible husband, father and grandfather, he was family to me— a father figure. We met over 60 years ago, and we never stopped loving each other and collaborating together. My last conversation with him was about a wonderful song he was working on. At 99 his creative gifts still flowed. I like to think he’s again in Marilyn’s warm embrace and I’m sure they have started collaborating again on another song! I will miss them both.
PARTNERS 2 CHARTS
Billboard reports that Barbra entered the Billboard 200 album charts at #31, but also breaks down the records she broke attaining that position.
PARTNERS 2: PRESS
I'll keep a running list of all of Barbra's press/interviews for the new album, due out June 27th.
THE SECRET OF LIFE: PARTNERS VOL. 2 VERSIONS
To clarify all the vinyl colors (see below for photos) and where you can get them:
The new album of duets comes out June 27th !! Stay tuned for Barbra's media appearances and more.

Project Angel Food provides home delivery meals to critically ill people throughout Los Angeles County, especially during the wildfires that impacted the city a few months ago.
The telethon will broadcast live on KTLA 5 on June 28 at 7 p.m. PT.
THE SECRET OF LIFE: PARTNERS VOL. 2 WRITERS & TIMES
Here is the track list for the upcoming album with songwriters and run times. It is being released June 27th:
1. “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” with Hozier [Ewan MacColl 04:33]

THE SECRET OF LIFE: PARTNERS VOL. 2
Today, Barbra and Columbia Records announced her June 27th album and released the first track “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” with Hozier on digital music platforms and as a lyric music video on YouTube.
Here is the track list for the upcoming album:
1. “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” with Hozier
2. “My Valentine” with Paul McCartney
3. “To Lose You Again” with Sam Smith
4. “The Very Thought of You” with Bob Dylan
5. “Letter to My 13-year-old Self” with Laufey
6. “One Heart, One Voice” with Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande
7. “I Love Us” with Tim McGraw
8. “Secret O’ Life” with James Taylor
9. “Fragile” with Sting
10. “Where Do I Go From You?” with Josh Groban
11. “Love Will Survive” with Seal
Things to note: Barbra finally recorded Marty Erlichman's favorite song, "The Very Thought of You" — and with Bob Dylan! OR ... Dylan also wrote a song in 1985 that has the same title, but is definitely not the same tune! Which one is it? [June 2025 note: It's the classic tune, not Dylan's composition.]
"Letter to My 13-year-old Self" by Laufey is an incredible song, and I see why the lyrics appealed to Barbra. I can't wait to hear them sing together.
There are several songs titled "One Heart, One Voice" and I wonder if this is the patriotic one found on YouTube, or if it is a newly-written song for this powerhouse trio?
"Where Do I Go From You?" is the song by Desmond Child that Barbra said she was in love with a few years ago. I've heard a live version of this song (which soars and is totally in Barbra's wheelhouse), but it wasn't originally written as a duet, so I'm assuming the song has been rewritten a bit for this album.
"Love Will Survive" is the same song Barbra released earlier for the holocaust TV series — only now it's with Seal.
Check out Barbra's official website for all the order links ... It looks like we're getting a CD, an aqua-colored vinyl, and a blush-colored vinyl.
Amazon is selling an exclusive "buttered popcorn-colored" vinyl. Here's the link.
UPDATE 5/3: Target and Barnes & Noble have posted their versions of the album and there are no special editions or exclusive tracks at either store.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BARBRA!
Today is Barbra's birthday, and I wish her all the best.
BARBRA POSTS PREVIEW OF THINGS TO COME
After thanking her fans for the birthday wishes she posted a curious photo with some children. Barbra appears to be reading a book to them titled "The Secret of Life" (which also happens to be the title of a James Taylor song ... Hmmmm). Apparently, Barbra will share the news with us on Wednesday, April 30th. Stay tuned .....
BARBRA: THE MUSIC BOOK IS REISSUED AND UPDATED
Since today is Barbra Streisand's birthday, it seems like a great day to announce that we are releasing a revised and updated version of Barbra Streisand: The Music book for THIS NOVEMBER from Fayetteville Mafia Press.
It will be a hardback (this time with a dust cover) and will cover all her albums up through her upcoming duets album coming out in 2025. We have changed up the photos, added new text from Barbra's memoir and have new interviews with Lauren Frost, Jay Landers, and Richard Jay-Alexander. I have also added a new essay about the remastering of Barbra's CDs.
Simon and Schuster is now distributing the book (you'll see it in your big box stores!) and has asked us to update the book for a new release through them. So instead of just reprinting it, we decided to update it with her new albums and change as many pictures as we could to improve the first edition, which is out of print. Here is the link to preorder, it will come out November 4, 2025.
BARBRA ON COVER OF NY MAG BROADWAY EDITION
Barbra is looking GOR-GEOUS in two new photos included in New York Magazine's Broadway edition. This is the April 7-20, 2025 issue with multiple covers and a large array of Broadway stars posing for photographer Mark Seliger. Barbra said she had fun doing this photo shoot; her coat in the Funny Girl costume photo was by Schiaparelli Haute Couture. She wore her own dress and jewelry. She is posing beside the Broadway version of the dress she wore to sing "People." (The movie version of the dress is owned by a private collector). Barbra wrote a short passage for the magazine (like the rest of the Broadway stars) about her experience playing Fanny Brice on Broadway.
THE NEW ALBUM
Info is coming soon ... stay tuned.
BARBRA AT THE WHITE LOTUS??
Well, Barbra didn't vacation in Thailand (or as Parker Posey's character would say, "Taiwan"), but her memoir did make a cameo in the fourth episode of season three on the Max series. Now, most of the characters on that show were caught reading books that, if examined more closely, were probably clues to their inner lives. But in the case, Jaclyn, a celebrity actress played by Michelle Monaghan, is spied reading Barbra's memoir poolside.
CONGRATS, BARBRA ON AUDIE AWARDS!
The audio book of Barbra's memoir, My Name is Barbra, won two 2025 Audie Awards: for Audiobook of the Year and for Autobiography/Memoir.
Congratulations, Barbra, I loved listening (and reading along!) to your recording.
THOSE RUMORS ABOUT THE NEW ALBUM
PageSix is the latest entertainment website to publish rumors about Barbra's upcoming album, which she's been working on since last year. The truth is that nothing official has been announced – no title, track list, or duet partners. There have been a couple of leaks (James Taylor, for instance, in an interview flat-out said he recorded with Barbra for the new album), but nothing concrete yet. Barbra's PR man,
Ken Sunshine, told PageSix: “What wonderful rumors. I’m confirming nothing — except that there is no duet with Elon Musk. And yes — she sings better than ever.” Stay tuned for something more official ...
MEMOIR AUDIOBOOK
The late President Jimmy Carter won the Grammy Award for his audiobook last weekend at the Grammy Awards. "It Never Went Away" by Jon Batiste & Dan Wilson won the Best Song Written for Visual Media (for which Barbra's "Love Will Survive" was also nominated).
Meanwhile, My Name is Barbra, the audiobook, has been nominated as audiobook of the year at the 2025 Audie Awards. Winners will be revealed on March 4 in New York where the ceremony will be hosted by actress, comedian and author Amy Sedaris.
GRAMMY NOMS FOR BARBRA!
Congratulations to Barbra and her team for these 2025 nominations. The Grammys will air Sunday, February 2nd.
Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording
Best Song Written For Visual Media
I have only seen the soundtrack for Tattooist available in vinyl — no CD, although you can stream the soundtrack on digital platforms right now.
The double-LP vinyl is available December 6, 2024, and can be ordered from At The Movies here.
NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR 'JINGLE BELLS?'
Very cute! Check out the animated music video released today.
Directed by Tom Readdy & Lucy Dawkins at Yes Please Productions
Character Design: Laura Perkins
Background Design: Lara Bumb
Animation: Eloise Garlick, Eduardo Vazquez and Chris Bowles
DOCUMENTARY COMING
Announced Sept. 26 by Sony Music Vision, Barbra will participate in a multi-part documentary about her life and career. It will feature rarely seen video, photographs and audio recordings from Streisand’s personal archives. Oscar-winning documentary maker Alex Gibney, whose many credits include films about Paul Simon and Steve Jobs, will serve as producer.
“For years I’ve been thinking about the best way to share the vast amount of content I’ve been safely storing in my vault,” the 82-year-old Streisand said in a statement. “These films, photos and music masters — many never seen or heard by the public — hold some of my most cherished memories. I’m so pleased that producer Alex Gibney and director Frank Marshall have agreed to take this journey with me.”
Marshall, who has directed documentaries about the Beach Boys and the Bee Gees and produced such classics as “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “The Sixth Sense,” said in a statement that the Streisand movie would “illustrate why she has become an enduring icon to a global audience of all generations.”
Sony Music Vision is presenting and distributing the project in partnership with her longtime record label, Columbia Records. They did not announce a release date.
NEW/OLD SINGLE ON SPOTIFY & MUSIC APPS
Barbra's 1992 recording of "God Bless America" previously appeared as a bonus disc included with the original CD of Christmas Memories. Then, when that album was added to digital music platforms, the bonus song was tagged on that album. Now, in preparation for our upcoming election, Sony has moved "God Bless America" away from Christmas Memories and, with a new digital cover, as its own "single." LISTEN BELOW ....
Meanwhile, A Christmas Album and Christmas Memories, despite having been re-released this month as vinyl discs, have also been added to Spotify and other digital platforms, labeled "2024 Remaster." Both albums were remastered by Paul Blakemore from new 24-bit files that were created by Jochem van Der Saag.
2025 HAPPENINGS
Barbra's new album — not officially announced yet — will certainly be out sometime next year. James Taylor has admitted he recorded with her. Rumored to also be included as duet partners are Sting, Bob Dylan, and Paul McCartney.
Barbra's documentary will certainly take longer than a few months to create ... Frank Marshall took three years to produce The Bee Gees documentary, for example. I would not expect it in 2025.
Grammy nominations will be announced early November; it will be interesting to see how Barbra fares with the audio book of her memoir!
Other than more surprises, those are the two big projects by Barbra coming out in the near future.
HURRICANE HELENE
I live in Asheville, NC, and have finally got my power, water, and internet back! My house was unharmed; it's just heartbreaking, however, to see how many businesses and families were harmed by the hurricane here in Western North Carolina. Thanks to everyone who reached out to check on me. — Matt
TWO CHRISTMAS REISSUES
Both of Barbra's Christmas albums are getting special vinyl reissues on October 4th.
Barnes & Noble will have special colored vinyl exclusively — white vinyl for A Christmas Album and red vinyl for Christmas Memories. Other stores will have black vinyl.
White Vinyl Christmas Album at B&N
Red Vinyl Christmas Memories at B&N
Black Vinyl Christmas Album @ Amazon
Black Vinyl Christmas Memories @ Amazon (1st time on vinyl!)
A Christmas Album will include the bonus track "Gounod's Ave Maria" (in English) which has never appeared on vinyl.
BARBRA STREISAND: THE MUSIC
The hardback version of my book from last year is ON SALE — Scott, my publisher, tells me he has 54 copies left and has discounted them at $19.99. You must buy directly from Tucker DS Press.
Here is the link.
FUNNY GIRL IN 4K FROM CRITERION IN NOVEMBER
The Criterion Collection today announced a new 4K disc of Barbra's debut film, Funny Girl, due November 19th.
According to their website, here are the specs:
This is great news for 4k lovers! In case you're wondering: to view the disc in 4K, you must have both a 4K player and a 4K T.V. Otherwise, you can watch the Blu-ray Disc, which is also included — but you must have a Blu-ray player to view that. (i.e. No DVD here!)
You can pre-order either option at Criterion's website now.
‘Love Will Survive,’ for Peacock’s ‘The Tattooist of Auschwitz’ is Emmy-Nominated
Barbra's newest song has been nominated for an Emmy Award — for Outstanding Original Music And Lyrics. Barbra Tweeted: “I’m so pleased that Love Will Survive from The Tattooist Of Auschwitz has been nominated for a Best Song EMMY this morning. I was moved to record it because of its underlying message, that love can triumph even in the darkest of times. It's an especially relevant thought today. Congratulations to my musical colleagues Hans Zimmer, Kara Talve, Walter Afanasieff and Charlie Midnight! And to Synchronicity Films for making this timely and thought provoking series.”
Streisand told the LA Times: “I happened to be working on a special new album when the gifted composer (and my onetime neighbor) Hans Zimmer reached out to one of my producers, Peter Asher, to ask if I’d be open to hearing a theme he and co-composer Kara Talve wrote for a TV series based on the book “The Tattooist of Auschwitz.” ... I asked my other producer, Walter Afanasieff, if he could transform Hans and Kara’s theme into an actual song. And then we asked Charlie Midnight to write the lyrics. ... Then we asked my dear friend Bill Ross to work on the arrangement with Walter. As it happened, Bill was in London conducting the score for a movie with the London Symphony Orchestra, so it all fell into place rather quickly. They recorded the track in England, and I recorded my vocal at my engineer’s home studio in Malibu.”
Charlie Midnight confirmed about his lyrics that “Barbra liked it. She just needed me to switch one lyric. This was all done in days. That doesn’t happen a lot, but this was one of those special occasions. And I think it’s because it was a team of people working for a single purpose, this film, which is profound and meaningful. Everybody thought it was more important than just doing a song for a movie. And being Jewish, it’s really affected me, as it did Barbra.” [Read more of his interview about the song here]
Coming in 2024
News and leaks about Barbra's new studio album have been popping up here and there, but she is still recording it and there is not an official announcement about the title or theme yet. So stay tuned. My best guess is that the new album probably won't be out until next year.
Meanwhile, this year, there are three things being released from Barbra's back catalog — a couple of albums, and a movie. None of these have been officially announced yet, but stay tuned ... it's getting close!
Streisand Presented with Genesis Prize
The Genesis Prize Foundation (GPF) today honored actor, director, producer, author, screenwriter, singer, songwriter, and activist Barbra Streisand at a special event in Los Angeles. The 10th anniversary Genesis Prize was awarded to Streisand in recognition of her lifelong pursuit of social justice and commitment to being a “force for good.”
Described as “The Jewish Nobel Prize” by TIME Magazine, the annual $1 million award recognizes individuals for their outstanding professional achievements, contributions to humanity and commitment to Jewish values. In addition to Bloomberg, past honorees include Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Natan Sharansky, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, Robert Kraft, Steven Spielberg, Itzhak Perlman, and other extraordinary Jewish leaders.
All Genesis Prize laureates donate their $1 million prize to philanthropic causes. Barbra Streisand elected to give her $1 million Genesis Prize award funds to seven nonprofit organizations working in the fields of women’s health, climate change, truth in the public sphere, and humanitarian support to the people of Ukraine.
Barbra's New Song, ‘Love Will Survive,’ for Peacock’s ‘The Tattooist of Auschwitz’
Barbra's new recording has been released. See the official lyric video on YouTube.
Barbra Streisand Records New Song, ‘Love Will Survive,’ for Peacock’s ‘The Tattooist of Auschwitz’
Barbra Streisand has recorded a new song, “Love Will Survive,” to serve as the end-title theme for “The Tattooist of Auschwitz,” a six-part, Holocaust-themed series that premieres on Peacock in the U.S. and Sky in other territories on May 2.
The song will come out globally via her longtime label, Columbia Records, on April 25.
Said Streisand in a statement: “Because of the rise in antisemitism around the world today, I wanted to sing ‘Love Will Survive’ in the context of this series, as a way of remembering the 6 million souls who were lost less than 80 years ago. And also to say that even in the darkest of times, the power of love can triumph and endure.”
“Love Will Survive” reunites the singer with one of her key collaborators on the “Walls” project six years ago, Walter Afanasieff (famous for Mariah Carey’s early recordings), returning as both a co-writer and co-producer. Producing the new track along with him is Peter Asher. The co-writers of the music with Afanasieff are Hans Zimmer and Kara Talve, and the lyrics were written by Charlie Midnight.
Streisand is joined on the track by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by William Ross.
“Barbra Streisand is one of the most renowned artists in the world, and we are deeply honored to be working with her,” said Claire Mundell of Synchronicity Films, an executive producer on the series. “Barbra and her team have crafted the most beautiful song, based on Hans’ and Kara’s main theme for the show, and it sums up the key message of the series: love will survive. Recording the song with Barbra’s iconic vocals and William Ross conducting the LSO at Abbey Road Studios was an unforgettable moment and a memory I will treasure forever. We are thrilled to be able to honor the memory of Lali and Gita in this way, with this beautiful original piece of music.”
Streisand is an executive producer on the new song along with Jay Landers and Russell Emanuel.
LOU PAPALAS' DAUGHTER MARA TO SELL BARBRA COLLECTION
As reported in the LA Times, Mara is trying to find the collection a home. “I just don’t have any interest in getting on eBay,” she said. “I want somebody to buy this whole collection and then do something with it.”
Mara will also appear on the Tamron Hall Show on May 27th to talk about her father's collection some more. Check your local listings for when/where it airs!
MARCH UPDATES
I've been busy, so apologies for this late update about all things BARBRA.
Streisand's Screen Actors Guild award was legendary and she gave such a great speech. See the video ...
A few days later, Netflix (which streamed the awards show) posted a fantastic interview conducted by SAG president Fran Drescher (She had style, she had flair, she was there ... the Nanny!) Check out that video, too.
NEW ALBUM & MORE
Streisand has mentioned her new album in two interviews now — but she doesn't reveal much, other than she's working on it. Stay tuned!
I'm helping out on some catalog re-releases coming soon ... Stay tuned!
Barbra in her audio book mentions a documentary. Stay tuned for more info; it's much too early to talk about it. But it's something on the horizon.
MY BOOK UPDATES
The Fayetteville Mafia Press title, Barbra Streisand: the Music, the Albums, the Singles by Matt Howe, has been nominated for the 2024 Association for Recorded Sound Collections Awards for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research.

JASON & ROSLYN RELEASE NEW MUSIC
Barbra's son, Jason Gould, will release a new EP album. Due March 22, Jason has released the dance lead single ”Laws of Desire.”
Jason tells americansongwriter.com : “A lot of these songs have a spiritual, dystopian theme ... It’s not intended, just a reflection of the world that we’re all living in. I’m well aware of the amount of pain and suffering in the world. We all have our traumas in life. I’m somebody who’s trying to heal my own and the only way to do that is by really being who you are and expressing your truth.”
MEANWHILE ....
Roslyn Kind has released a music video and a new medley of “The Look of Love / The Island”. Follow her on social media or
her official website to hear more.
