Reba McEntire looked to her friend, Dolly Parton, to record a new version of her classic “Does He Love You.” Reba was “thrilled to pieces” when Dolly agreed to do it, and once they heard their blended voices, they couldn’t have been happier. What’s surprising is that this is the first time the two global superstars have done a duet.
“At the beginning when Dolly starts to sing, she has that beautiful whisper and then when she comes on powerhouse, I’m like, ‘Omigosh!’ It just gave me goosebumps,” says Reba.
The two powerhouses offer a twist on the differing perspectives tackled in the new version of the track with Dolly singing the original part of the 1993 original with Linda Davis. “We’ve known each other so long, we really feel where we’re gonna go,” says Dolly. “I knew…what she was feeling when she was singing certain notes, I thought, I’m not gonna let her out sing me. (REBA LAUGHS) So, I mean I love her singing, I thought well, I’m really, really, really gonna have to woman up on this one. But I really felt it though. It’s such a great song, to start with, such a well-written song, such a good subject, so I thought this time I get to be the Jolene (REBA LAUGHS), but she’s the redhead!”
The iconic pair also released the video for “Does He Love You” on Friday (October 8th), the same day Reba released her three-part box set REVIVED REMIXED REVISITED.
REVIVED REMIXED REVISITED is a reimagined collection of some of Reba’s most iconic songs. REVIVED includes some of Reba’s biggest hits as they’ve evolved over the years in her live show and features all new arrangements of fan favorites. REMIXED puts a whole new spin on some of her most beloved tracks and on REVISITED, Reba works with Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb to strip things back.
