Beyoncé has teamed up with The Isley Brothers for a re-work of the band's 1975 The Heat Is On classic "Make Me Say It Again Girl, Pts. 1 & 2."

The new version, "Make Me Say It Again, Girl," is set to appear on the Isley Brothers' upcoming album, which is scheduled to arrive later this year.

The track, which arrived on Friday (August 12), is the first ever collaboration between Ronald Isley and Beyoncé and marks Ronald's first release of the year.

Isley revealed in an interview with Billboard that he "met and talked to Beyoncé when she was just getting started with Destiny's Child," and that "working with Beyoncé was one of the first things [he] thought about" when he began crafting his new album.

Isley's wife, Kandy, added, "Tina Knowles-Lawson [Beyoncé's mother] was very influential in getting this record started and getting it to the point where we are now. She has a love for the Isley Brothers and her daughter grew up listening to this type of music. All we can say is that God's hands was on this whole project."
