IRA'S NEW VIDEO SENDS OUT A STRONG MESSAGE

High is the latest single from Ira Losco, the 7th to be lifted off her 2018 double-album No Sinner No Saint. The song is accompanied by a video that sends out a very strong message. Once again, Ira turned to award-winning director Steven Levi and Matthew Muscat Drago (D.O.P.) to capture the essence of the song and translate it into an engaging visual production. Produced and mixed by Howard Keith at Jagged House Studios, High speaks about the minorities in society that endur

Good music being shared for a great cause! That's always been the aim of Simon's Pub Music Festival, and not only is the popular festival back, but it's also turning 20! To celebrating this milestone, the team behind Simon’s Pub Music Festival has been working hard to put on a bigger and better edition.

TUNED IN TO TURNING 20

"20 years ago, Nirvana and I joked about how old we would be during Teatru Unplugged 20". So reads the introduction in this year's concert programme from Jonathan Shaw who, along with the deeply-missed Nirvana Azzopardi had brought this unlikely idea to fruition two decades ago. They may only have been joking about there being a Teatru Unplugged 20 at the time, but here I am, putting pen to paper and jotting a few words precisely about the show's 20th anniversary edition.

NEW SINGLE FROM WILLIAM MANGION

With a forty-five-year career behind him, William Mangion is certainly no newcomer to the Maltese music scene. His name will probably forever be linked to his 1993 song This Time, which placed 8th in that year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Ireland, but there’s more to this veteran artist than that. He’s had his taste of success as the voice of top local act Getting Closer and the UK band Still Waters, further to which he has maintained a steady solo career thanks to his entert

They've enjoyed multiple chart successes in the past with previous singles Something Real and Can't Divide Us, and now, London-based vocal House duo Monroe, namely Katie Jones and Kelly Schembri are back with an irresistibly cool dancefloor tune that looks set to notch up even more chart success. Released globally on October 27, the latest single from Monroe, Wasted tears has been signed to Tommy Boy Records in North America, Canada & Mexico. The legendary US label is also ho

IVAN GRECH CONCERT RAISES EUR20K+ FOR ALS MALTA

With his band Winter Moods currently on a break, frontman Ivan Grech, clearly unable to resist the itch to get back on stage, got together with a band of musicians to put on a solo concert; hardly surprising really, given the success of his first such venture last year. Of particular note this year, having the production costs of the concert covered by partners and sponsors made it possible for all revenue from ticket sales and other donations collected on the night to be pas

OMG! IRA LOSCO RELEASES NEW SINGLE!

OMG is the latest single from Ira Losco, the 4th single lifted off her eagerly-anticipated new album, which is scheduled for released later this year. The upbeat number, which features local Youtube hiphop sensation Shyli, is a pop tune about heartbreak and revenge and follows hot on the heels of last March's We Are The Soldiers, contrasting sharply with the latter's relatively deeper tone. Peppered with infectious pop and a whole lot of sass, the new single has all the makin

LOCAL ARTIST SIGNED BY HOLLYWOOD PRODUCER

We've known her locally as Christabelle Borg ever since she first stepped onto a stage but, as from now, the hard-working artist, who has several releases to her name, will be recording under the name of Chrystabelle. Even better news is the recent announcement that she will be working with Hollywood music producer Geo Slam. Geo Slam is part of Team RedOne, which currently rules the global pop music charts and has worked with a good number of best-selling international rec

Having wowed local audiences with her interpretation of the song Kewkba during this year's Malta Eurovision Song Contest, there is no doubt that Janice Mangion was one of the shining stars that stood out above the rest during that same festival. Apart from working on new material, as artists always are, the young singer will soon be heading for Eastern Europe, where she will be performing at the biggest international music competition in that region.

AMBER TO PERFORM PRE-BRUNO MARS UK SHOW

She was Malta's representative at the 2015 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, but since then, Amber has done much by way of furthering her musical career. To begin with, her post-Eurovision single releases clearly outlined that she had moved on from Warrior; musically at least, as her fighting spirit remained intact. In what some considered a bold leap (it was!) to explore fresh sounds and a new direction, Amber's album Redemption underlined her declared intention to tak

The Crowns' mark on 2016 came by way of their two radio singles, namely Mary Jane and Dreams, both of which had been written the previous year. The band is now back with a brand new single that also heralds some changes in the band's camp. To begin with the song clearly suggests that there has been some delving into new sounds and experimenting with styles. Titled Smoke and Mirrors, the song is a more groove-based number compared to past singles; its soulful melody line and i
