Today, Columbia Records has released ‘Don’t Lie To Me’, a new single written and recorded by Barbra Streisand from her upcoming album Walls, due out November 2nd. It’s Streisand’s first album primarily consisting of original songs since 2005.
In addition to the three original tunes which the Oscar-winning songwriter contributed to, the songs on Walls explore topics near to the celebrated artist’s heart. Streisand also brings a fresh perspective to the classic songs ‘Imagine’ and ‘What A Wonderful World’, and the Bacharach/David pop standard ‘What The World Needs Now’.
To serve her inspirational themes, she shares production and arrangement duties on the new album with Walter Afanasieff, John Shanks and David Foster – all Grammy recipients for Producer of the Year – and Songwriter Hall of Fame recipient Desmond Child. Streisand’s vision also comes through on the defining title track ‘Walls’, with lyrics specifically written for the album by revered Streisand collaborators Alan & Marilyn Bergman.
In 1977, Streisand became the first woman to win an Oscar for composing the music to the timeless standard ‘Evergreen’ (Love Theme from A Star Is Born), which also went on to win the Grammy for Best Original Song and the Golden Globe.
