Something Cool, the highly anticipated debut album from Gilo & Royal Blue, is officially available worldwide for pre-order on iTunes and other leading streaming platforms, with the album set to release on September 1st, 2025.
Blending classical and country guitar with the emotional power of an award-winning theatrical vocalist, Gilo & Royal Blue have performed extensively in the DeLand and Daytona area, including residencies at The Artisan Hotel and the Daytona Beach Cigar Bar. Drawing from roots in diverse genres of world music, they deliver a fresh yet timeless sound that bridges genres and generations by crafting a unique and sophisticated take on modern folk.
Named after the opening track, their album Something Cool offers a mellow and sophisticated listening experience. Each track is a testament to their musicality and shared vision — to rediscover songs in new ways, breathing life into forgotten classics. Their unique style, at once both repose and highly-strung, weaves a common thread of musicality between unexpected songs to create a cohesive collection spanning decades and genres from smooth 1950s jazz to nostalgic 1990s pop rock. “We seamlessly meld each of our musical inspirations into something new and delicious,” says Gilo. The album includes unique covers of songs by artists including June Christy, Leonard Cohen, Roxette, Chris Isaaks, Edith Piaf, ABBA and Radiohead.
