Barbra Streisand's 63rd album, Love Is The Answer has been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), little over a month after debuting at #1 on the Billboard Charts and establishing a record-breaking fifth consecutive decade in which she released a top-of-the-charts album. Love Is The Answer becomes her 51st Gold Record along with 30 Platinum and 13 Multi-Platinum, leading all female recording artists in those categories. Streisand is the #1 female album-selling recording artist in history and the only woman to make the Top 10 all time best selling artists list.
The first full-length collection of new studio recordings from Barbra Streisand since 2005's Guilty Pleasures, and first new Barbra Streisand album since Live In Concert 2006, Love Is The Answer presents the artist as a cabaret and jazz singer of emotional clarity, depth and maturity, offering the listener a warm and intimate selection of late night meditations on love's powers, heartbreaks and solaces.
Among the many accolades for the album, Anthony Tommasini in The New York Times wrote: "like a great jazz singer, lending an earthy emotional cast to the moment."
