The cover will be featured on the Broadway legend’s upcoming duets album The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume 2.
Barbra Streisand has recruited Paul McCartney to join forces for a new version of his 2012 single “My Valentine,” which was released Friday (May 16) via Columbia Records.
“What if it rained? We didn’t care/ He said that someday soon the sun was gonna shine/ And he was right, this love of mine/ My valentine,” Babs coos on the opening verse before Sir Paul, takes over to sing, “As days and nights would pass me by/ I’d tell myself that I was waiting for a sign/ Then she appeared, a love so fine/ My valentine” over a lush combination of strings and piano.
Now, the reimagined version for two is the second preview of Streisand’s upcoming duets album, The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two, which is out June 27 and acts as a sequel 11 years in the making to her Grammy-nominated No. 1 LP Partners from 2014.

Ahead of releasing the duet, the legendary Funny Girl star shared a snap of the longtime friends on her Instagram, writing, “What a joy it was to record ‘My Valentine’ with @paulmccartney. To share time with him in the studio was truly special.”
Streisand’s 37th studio set will also feature guest turns from A-listers like Hozier (the previously released “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”), James Taylor (“Secret O’ Life”), Bob Dylan (“The Very Thought of You”), Tim McGraw (“I Love Us”) and Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande (“One Heart, One Voice”).
