David Gilmour, the legendary musician known for his work with Pink Floyd, has recently shared a glimpse of his upcoming solo album by releasing a cover of the Montgolfier Brothers’ song “Between Two Points.” What makes this rendition special is that it features Gilmour’s daughter, Romany, on vocals.
The track showcases Romany’s soulful vocals accompanied by a melancholic harp, with Gilmour adding his iconic guitar solo later in the song. The Montgolfier Brothers originally released the song in 1999, and Gilmour decided to pay homage to it by including it in his new album, “Luck and Strange.”
In a statement, Gilmour expressed his long-standing admiration for the song, mentioning that he had it on his playlist since its release. He was surprised that the track didn’t receive more recognition and decided to collaborate with Romany to bring it to a new audience.
Mark Tramner, one half of the Montgolfier Brothers, praised Gilmour and Romany’s interpretation of their song, highlighting how it retains the essence of the original while adding a fresh perspective. Romany’s vocal delivery and harp playing, combined with Gilmour’s guitar work, create a beautiful rendition of “Between Two Points.”
The album, “Luck and Strange,” is set to be released on September 6th, marking Gilmour’s return to solo music after almost a decade. This highly anticipated album will feature Romany on another track titled “Yes, I Have Ghosts,” in addition to the recently released singles.
Furthermore, “Luck and Strange” will also include a track titled “The Piper’s Call,” which Gilmour shared back in April. Fans can expect a blend of Gilmour’s signature guitar sound with new musical elements in this album.
In addition to the album release, Gilmour will be embarking on a tour to support “Luck and Strange,” marking his return to U.S. stages after an eight-year hiatus. While fans may be eager to hear Pink Floyd classics, Gilmour has hinted that the focus will be on showcasing his new solo material during the tour.
Overall, David Gilmour’s collaboration with his daughter Romany on “Between Two Points” offers a glimpse into the musical landscape of his upcoming album, promising a fresh and captivating listening experience for fans old and new.
