Barbra Streisand’s upcoming album of duets will include collaborations with Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Sting, Ariana Grande and Irish hitmaker Hozier, sources tell Page Six.
The album will drop later this year in June or September, sources say.
It was previously reported that the project would come out in January or February.
When we reached out for comment, Streisand’s longtime rep of over 30 years, Ken Sunshine, said: “What wonderful rumors. I’m confirming nothing — except that there is no duet with Elon Musk. And yes — she sings better than ever.”
While Streisand, 82, wasn’t at the Oscars, her upcoming duets album was on people’s lips because Grande was nominated for best supporting actress for her role as Glinda in “Wicked,” which scored 10 nominations, including best picture.
Grande — who lost the award to “Emilia Pérez” star Zoe Saldana — and Streisand have performed together before: In 2019 they did a surprise duet of the tune “No More Tears (Enough is Enough)” on stage in Chicago.
Website Showbiz411 reported last fall that the “Guilty” singer was enlisting Dylan, who has previously collaborated on tunes with Johnny Cash, George Harrison and Eric Clapton, and that Streisand and Dylan are the two longest running artists on record label Columbia.
There’s also an apparent documentary that will accompany the album.
Grande and her beau, Ethan Slater, were spotted sharing a loving embrace inside the Oscars.
Photographers captured the private couple, who walked the red carpet separately, chatting and showing some PDA before the big show on Sunday.
Grande, 31, sweetly wrapped her arms around Slater’s neck as he pulled her in close. The two held hands while talking to some of their “Wicked” collaborators.
