Speaking to ITV’s Good Morning Britain on Friday, the Grammy-winner revealed that the election of President Donald Trump inspired her to get political on her new album Walls She felt particularly emboldened by Trump’s treatment of Queen Elizabeth during his visit to London in July.
Walls is Streisand’s biggest collection of original music since Guilty Pleasures in 2005. Its overtly political tone is conveyed through songs such as pop-inspired single “Don’t Lie to Me”, which includes the pointed lyrics “How do you sleep when the world keeps turning? / All that we built has come undone / How do you sleep when the world is burning? / Everyone answers to someone.”

Paul McCartney said that the song “Despite Repeated Warnings” on his new album Egypt Station was aimed at Donald Trump and others who attempt to deny that climate change is taking place.
“People who deny climate change … I just think it’s the most stupid thing ever,” the former Beatle told the BBC in a new interview. “So I just wanted to make a song that would talk about that and basically say, ‘Occasionally, we’ve got a mad captain sailing this boat we’re all on, and he is just going to take us to the iceberg [despite] being warned it’s not a cool idea.'” Asked if he had anyone in mind, he replied, “Obviously, it’s Trump, but there’s plenty of them about. He’s not the only one.”

I have to give this to Streisand. I was never a fan of McCartney.
