Helen Boulding, an up and coming singer songwriter with one of the most beautiful and soulful voices about to emerge on to the mainstream, has recorded a new song co-written with Pink Floyd’s Richard Wright and Chris Difford (formerly of Squeeze). This is the first song-writing heard form Richard since his Broken China album in 1996! Helen was kind enough to perform the song “Hazel Eyes” exclusively for Neptune Pink Floyd as well as giving us an interview about how the song came about. Her new single “I Don’t Know What I Want, But I Know What I Need” which includes ”Hazel Eyes” will be on general release from February 6th.
