- Ariana Grande will feature on Barbra Streisand’s new album
- The pair will perform a song together – alongside Mariah Carey!
- Grande recently featured on Jeff Goldblum’s latest album
Ariana Grande saddened fans when she hinted she would be stepping back from pop music.
But it appears that the singer, 31, can’t resist dipping her toe back into the charts – as this week, it was announced that she will feature on new album from Barbra Streisand.
In a collaboration we didn’t know we needed, Grande and Streisand will perform One Heart, One Voice together.
But rather than being a straight duet, the pair will also have a third voice on the track – Mariah Carey.
While we can’t wait to hear the song, Grande and Carey aren’t the only household names to feature on the album.
Streisand has also joined forces with Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Hozier and Laufey on the record, which is titled The Secret Of Life: Partners, Volume Two.
The album – which comes out on June 27 – will also feature Sting, James Taylor, Sam Smith, Josh Groban, Tim McGraw and Seal.
Ariana Grande features on Jeff Goldblum’s album
It’s not the only time recently that Grande has leant her vocals to another album.
The Dangerous Woman singer has also featured on her Wicked co-star Jeff Goldblum’s latest record, Still Blooming.
In a sound that is a far cry from her usual pop vocals, Grande recorded the track I Don’t Know Why (I Just Do) for Goldblum’s album.
The record is his fourth with his band, The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra.
Grande’s version is the most recent – but the song was actually written in 1931.
Frank Sinatra recorded his version of the track in 1943, as well as The Andrews Sisters on the very same label, Decca Records, nearly 80 years ago (1946).
Ariana Grande isn’t the only artist to collaborate with their hero…
It’s not the first time in recent pop history that we’ve seen older artists working with newer stars.
Fans were delighted in February when Sabrina Carpenter collaborated with Dolly Parton to release a new version of her hit song, Please Please Please.
As part of the deluxe version of Carpenter’s album, Short n’ Sweet, the pair re-recorded the track – with a few strict rules from Parton!
“Of course, she can talk a little bad now and then,” Parton admitted.
“I told her, I said, ‘Now, I don’t cuss. I don’t make fun of Jesus. I don’t talk bad about God, and I don’t say dirty words, on camera – but have been known to if I get mad enough!’”
Thankfully, Carpenter took Parton’s instructions onboard.
Instead of singing the original line (“I beg you, don’t embarrass me, motherf*****”), Carpenter changed the lyrics to, “I beg you, don’t embarrass me like the others”.
