In a stunning collaboration between two of music’s most iconic voices, Paul McCartney and Barbra Streisand have joined forces for a new rendition of McCartney’s 2012 ballad, My Valentine. The duet is set to appear on Streisand’s forthcoming album The Secret Of Life: Partners, Volume Two, slated for release on June 27, 2025.
Originally featured on McCartney’s Kisses on the Bottom, My Valentine was penned as a love letter to his wife, Nancy Shevell, during a rainy retreat in Morocco. Now, over a decade later, the tender track gets a fresh interpretation as McCartney and Streisand blend their signature styles in an emotional and elegant performance.
Streisand recently teased the track on social media, expressing her delight in working with the former Beatle: “What a joy it was to record ‘My Valentine’ with Paul McCartney. To share time with him in the studio was truly special!”
The duet is part of a star-studded project that also features collaborations with musical heavyweights including Bob Dylan, Sting, James Taylor, Hozier, Laufey, Sam Smith, Tim McGraw, Josh Groban, Seal, Mariah Carey, and Ariana Grande.
Streisand described the album as “a celebration of musical partnerships,” adding, “Working with artists I admire, both longtime friends and new talents, has made this experience so fulfilling. I hope listeners feel the same magic I felt recording each track.”
With anticipation building, My Valentine is poised to become a standout moment in what promises to be one of the year’s most talked-about albums.
