Barbra Streisand has accomplished just about everything imaginable in her 64-year (!?!) professional career, but she'd never recorded a song for a TV series until now.
Her new tune, "Love Will Survive," is out now via Columbia and will appear as the end title of the upcoming Sky and Peacock original series, The Tattooist of Auschwitz. The show debuts 5/2.
Streisand, 82, is backed on the song by the London Symphony Orchestra. "Love Will Survive" was composed by Hans Zimmer, Kara Talve and Walter Afanasieff and produced by Afanasieff and Peter Asher. Streisand, Jay Landers and Russell Emanuel are executive producers.
The Tattooist of Auschwitz is based on the true story of Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew who was imprisoned at but survived his experience in the Auschwitz concentration camp.
"Because of the rise in antisemitism around the world today, I wanted to sing 'Love Will Survive' in the context of this series, as a way of remembering the six million souls who were lost less than 80 years ago," Streisand said. "And also to say that even in the darkest of times, the power of love can triumph and endure."
