Broadway and film star Kristin Chenoweth has a new album out that brings together her favorite female singers, from Barbra Streisand to Linda Ronstadt to Dolly Parton.

Dubbed For the Girls, the album is a tribute to the artists that have personally influenced Chenoweth throughout her life.

The first release is "I Will Always Love You," sung with Dolly Parton. Kristin told ET Online, “These are some of my favorite singers in the world. ‘I Will Always Love You’ is a song I’ve loved since I was a child. I used to think, ‘One day I’m going to sing that song.’ Little did I know that I’d get to sing it with the queen herself.”

Parton herself posted to Instagram, "I was so honored to join the beautiful and talented @kchenoweth on her upcoming album #ForTheGirls."
