David Gilmour on new album

David Gilmour, the iconic guitarist of Pink Floyd, is set to release his fifth solo album, 'Luck and Strange', on September 6, which he claims to be his best work since 'The Dark Side of the Moon' in 1973. In a recent interview, Gilmour expressed pride in the album, noting that it surpasses his previous solo efforts and is influenced by a fresh team of collaborators, including producer Charlie Andrew. This album marks Gilmour's first original release since 2015's 'Rattle That Lock' and features new tracks along with a reworked song from 1999. He emphasized the rejuvenating experience of collaborating with his family and Andrew, who challenged his creative process. Gilmour is already planning a follow-up album with the same team after the upcoming tour. This release comes amid ongoing tensions with former bandmate Roger Waters, but Gilmour remains focused on his new musical direction.
