What About Today?

Barbra Streisand

A curious 1969 pivot where Broadway's greatest voice meets the songbooks of Lennon, McCartney, and Simon. Lush, earnest, and surprisingly gentle pop.

It's Barbra doing The Beatles and Paul Simon with a full orchestra, and it's way more charming than you'd expect.

An earnest and hopeful exploration of contemporary life through a sophisticated, theatrical lens.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from a delicate, questioning whisper to a full-throated plea for presence in the title track.
The playful, almost vaudevillian bounce of the woodwinds during the cover of Honey Pie.
The way the orchestration swells to meet her voice on the final, lingering notes of Goodnight.
