Black, Gold, and Glorious: Gilda House Dives Deep with Synth-Soaked Soul

With their new single Black and Gold, Gilda House doesn’t just cover Sam Sparro’s electro-soul classic — they elevate it. This isn’t your average homage; it’s a full-bodied reimagining that pulses with life, mood, and a cosmic sense of purpose.

From the first shimmering synth swell, you’re not just hearing a song — you’re entering a universe. Meg Gildehaus’ vocals are pure atmosphere: ethereal, aching, and entirely arresting. There’s a haunting urgency to her delivery that feels like a transmission from the stars, grounding Sparro’s lyrics in something deeper and darker. Tony Morales’ guitar work creeps in like moonlight on a city skyline, while Nick Miles’ drums hit with the precision of a heartbeat — steady, human, vital.

Gilda House turns Black and Gold into something more than a funky dance track. It becomes an existential meditation wrapped in lush textures and bold dynamics. It shimmers, it questions, and just when you think it’s settled, it soars. This version is cinematic — something you’d imagine echoing over the closing credits of a sci-fi epic, leaving you both haunted and hopeful.

More than a cover, it’s a conversation with the cosmos. In a fractured world, Gilda House gives us something unifying, moody, and magnetic. Turn it up. Let it take you somewhere else.
