Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers are longtime friends before the latter passed away that's why it's no surprise that the country songstress is included in his posthumous album. More recently, it was announced that the collaboration between the two will be released soon; when is it coming out?
According to Rolling Stone, the duo previously sang the track "Tell Me That You Love Me" in 2009 as they were aiming to get the same reception they received with 1983's "Islands in the Stream."
However, the song didn't get the same attention as their first one, leading it to be vanished from print. Fortunately for longtime fans, the song will now be available for streaming online under the late musician's posthumous record.
Kenny Rogers Posthumous Album Release Date
Kenny Roger's team will drop his album "Life Is Like a Song" on June 2, 2023 via UMe. It will feature 10 songs, eight of them were never heard by the public before.
Aside from Dolly Parton, there will also be other featuring artists like Jamie O'Neal and Kim Keyes.
This will mark the first album from Rogers in 10 years as he only dropped holiday releases prior to his death. His wife, Wanda Rogers, is the one responsible for curating and compilating the tracks for his new record and it will focus on the themes of life and death, and love and faith. (via Associated Press)
