Barbra Streisand To Release New Single For First Ever TV Series
Global music icon Barbra Streisand is picking up her pen to give us a new single “Love Will Survive” for Peacock’s upcoming series The Tattooist Of Auschwitz.
This marks Streisand’s first ever song for a TV series, which will release ahead of the series launch. The artist wanted to voice that love prevails no matter what. "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,” she said. “And also to say that even in the darkest of times, the power of love can triumph and endure.”
Streisand aso worked on the song alongside Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer, Emmy nominee Kara Talve, Grammy winner Walter Afanasieff, and Golden Globe nominee Charlie Midnight.
Stay tuned for her song on April 25 and Peacock’s premiere of Tattooist of Auschwitz on May 2.
