Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour Shares New Solo Single ‘Dark And Velvet Nights’
Pink Floyd‘s David Gilmour has shared a new solo single, “Dark And Velvet Nights,” from his forthcoming album, Luck and Strange.
Luck and Strange is set to be released on September 6th via Sony Music. The latest single is accompanied by a music video, directed by Gavin Elder.
Written by Gilmour and Polly Samson, the song came from a poem Polly had written.
“The music sprang out one day. It was so exciting to have come across this groove. Polly had given me a beautiful poem for our wedding anniversary, which was sitting on the desk right next to me, so I picked it up and sang it on the track, to hear what it would sound like with words. I played it to Polly, and she said, “Lovely, great, I’ll need to fiddle with it a bit. So she added a couple of verses, and there it was – very serendipitous,” Gilmour shared.
