‘Mountain’ is taken from Van Plating’s debut, self-titled LP, which will be self-released on November 15th. It’s a song that has Rachel Plating duetting with her writing partner Bradley Walden, as they explore the nature of a committed love – and that includes the hardships that can occur, and that require a mutuality to overcome. So, not just boy meets girl to spoon by the light of the moon. In June. Rachel Plating clearly feels a need to move to the serious side, which certainly comes out of her more recent experiences: having taken a nine year break from her musical pursuits in which she started her family – and also experienced the pain of two miscarriages and a harrowing experience of having to say goodbye to her four children prior to an extremely risky surgery.
