Veteran singer and actress Barbra Streisand has reunited in the studio with Bee Gees star Barry Gibb, 25 years after they first teamed up.

Gibb has agreed to write and produce 12 songs for Streisand's upcoming record, due to hit store shelves in September, reports Internet Media Database.

The duo first worked together on the "Guilty" album in 1980, which went on to sell five million copies in the US and spawned the hit single "Woman In Love".

In 2003, Streisand had released an album of movie theme tunes, insisting she was bored of singing her own songs.
