STREISAND SINGS FOR TATTOOIST TV SERIES

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 one, "Love Will Survive" (out now via Columbia), will appear during the end credits of the Sky/Peacock original series The Tattooist of Auschwitz. The show debuts 5/2.

Streisand 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 served as executive producers.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz is based on the story of Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew who was imprisoned at Auschwitz but survived.

"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."
