Paul McCartney and Barbra Streisand Reimagine “My Valentine” in a Spellbinding Duet for Her New Album
In a dazzling collaboration that’s already turning heads across the music world, Paul McCartney and Barbra Streisand have teamed up for a breathtaking new rendition of McCartney’s romantic ballad “My Valentine.” The track is set to appear on Streisand’s highly anticipated new album, The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two, dropping June 27, 2025.
Originally written as a heartfelt tribute to McCartney’s wife, Nancy Shevell, during a rain-soaked getaway in Morocco, “My Valentine” first appeared on his 2012 album Kisses on the Bottom. Now, more than a decade later, the song takes on new life — and new depth — as two of music’s most iconic voices weave their magic into a tender, soul-stirring duet.
Streisand gave fans a sneak peek via social media, gushing about the experience:
“What a joy it was to record ‘My Valentine’ with Paul McCartney. To share time with him in the studio was truly special!”
Their collaboration is just one of many on The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two, a star-studded showcase of vocal chemistry and emotional resonance. The album boasts an impressive lineup of guest artists, including Bob Dylan, Sting, James Taylor, Hozier, Laufey, Sam Smith, Tim McGraw, Josh Groban, Seal, Mariah Carey, and Ariana Grande — each bringing their own flair to the concept of musical partnership.
Streisand describes the project as “a celebration of musical partnerships” and shared her excitement about working alongside both legends and rising stars:
“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 its lush arrangement, heartfelt lyrics, and the unmistakable vocal blend of Streisand and McCartney, “My Valentine” is already being hailed as a standout moment in what promises to be one of 2025’s most talked-about albums.
Get ready for the duet of the decade — and a celebration of musical connection like no other.
