“’Speaking in Tongues’ is the last song Jim Steinman finished for this record, and he believed that the bridge are some of the best lyrics he’s ever written — and [guest singer] Stacey Michelle’s vocal is simply astonishing,” Meat Loaf tells Yahoo Music.

Last month to EW, Meat Loaf described singer Michelle’s performance on that track as having a “Merry Clayton vibe.”

Braver Than We Are is out today on 429 Records.
