Streisand recently released a new album called “Walls”, which addresses issues under the administration of US President Donald Trump.
Since then, the video has amassed more than 880,000 views, with their fans leaving positive comments.
“Gosh!!! This is the kind of academic music that I would listen to every day,” one YouTube user wrote.
The collaboration between the two iconic artists came in late 2014 when they made a duet of “Somewhere”.
DIFFERENT VERSIONS
An original score of the 1957 Broadway musical “West Side Story”, the song “Somewhere” inspired a movie in 1961. Streisand’s version of the song came out in 1985.
The 76-year-old singer decided to re-work her version, this time with the help of Josh Groban. Their soulful voices combined into a rendition that gives people goosebumps.
It was not the first time that the two powerful vocalists worked alongside each other. They once had a duet when Groban, then 19 years old, had to sing with her in lieu of Andrea Bocelli.
"We had him sing on the Bocelli track. We released the record with Josh but he was like a step-in singer, you know? But I always thought he was wonderful,” Streisand said.
Groban also looked back on the duet with gratitude. "The fact that she took a completely unknown singer and allowed me have that chance with her was such a great learning experience and wonderful opportunity," he said.
TROUBLED BY TRUMP
Streisand recently released a new album called “Walls”, which addresses issues under the administration of US President Donald Trump.
The singer has also opened up about the possibility of her moving to Canada is Democrats lose in the upcoming elections.
She said that Trump’s actions and decisions have made her lose hours of sleep, adding that she may be able to sleep better if Democrats occupy the White House.
