"Release Me" is a 2012 compilation album of rare and previously unreleased tracks by American singer Barbra Streisand. She announced the album's release on her official website in August 2012. It contains tracks recorded between her 1967 "Simply Streisand" and 2011 "What Matters Most" albums, gathering unreleased material from, among others, "Stoney End", "The Broadway Album", and "Back to Broadway". The compilation's release was accompanied by a series of short video clips posted onto YouTube, in which Barbra discussed every track. A music video for "I Think It's Going to Rain Today" was directed, photographed and edited by Matt Amato. The album debuted at #7 on the Billboard 200 albums sales chart (with approximately 40,000 copies sold), making this her 32nd Top 10 album and her 7th consecutive Top 10 effort since "The Movie Album" in 2003.
