CHRIS AND MOIRA: LOVE IS ALL AROUND

For an album that was released just under two years ago, Chris and Moira's Ninety Nights and a Monday has certainly served its purpose, and not just because it spawned a string of well-received singles (and in several cases, accompanying videos too), but also because it proved to be a firm and effective platform. Not only did it successfully propel the band to new heights in the space of its 10 tracks but, more importantly, it also landed them new opportunities to take their

NEW VIDEO FROM WAYNE WILLIAM

Last month saw the release of the official music video for The Parade, the latest single from Wayne William. The song is also the title track of Wayne's most recent album, which was originally released here in 2014, just before his siblings won that year's edition of the Malta Eurovision Song Contest. Having been asked to join Firelight on their international commitments, among them tours in Germany and Austria as well as the Eurovision performance in Denmark, the singer-song

NEW SINGLE FROM THE TRAVELLERS

Their debut single Sempliċità was a resounding success, propelling The Travellers to the upper reaches of Maltese pop, dominating the local airwaves and making them a household name in next to no time. And to prove they're no one-trick pony, here they are with an equally melodic second single. Markedly different in style from its predecessor, Dak Li Int, for which a music video has also been released, may not pack the same immediate punch that Sempliċità delivered with much p

RED ELECTRICK RETURN WITH A NEW ALBUM

It had been well over a year since Red Electrick’s Young Again was first heard on the local airwaves. The song has been a radio mainstay ever since, and while the band didn’t release any follow-up throughout all of last year, they were clearly busy writing and recording new material, the fruit of which has now surfaced on new album Inside You. Unveiled with quite a bang over two nights earlier this month, Red Electrick played the new album live in its entirety for the launch,

BIG BLEACHED STAIN: THE NEW SINGLE FROM CHRIS AND MOIRA

Their latest album may have been released in 2014, but Chris and Moira’s Ninety Nights and a Monday is still doing the rounds almost two years on. Its presence perpetuated by a string of singles and videos that have helped the band maintain a high profile on the local scene, the album has also been pivotal in bringing the band the opportunity to explore new markets abroad. The band has just released a new single off the album, Big Bleached Stain, which started out as a poem b

RIKKI LEE’S BLOOD RUNS THICKER

Although his career in music started a while back, the year 2013 was a 'ground zero' of sorts for Rikki Lee. He caught the eye (and ear) of many as the voice of Gypsy Genes, and his performance at Rockestra that same year further boosted his profile. It is however as a solo artist that Rikki Lee’s career has really taken off, with 2014 debut single Lies kickstarting a series of releases that have seen Rikki go on to achieve chart success both locally and abroad. Last year, hi

BLACKFAWN'S DARK DEBUT

Even before they decided to move to Berlin, Maltese musicians Alexandra Aquilina and Daniel Borg had already been distancing themselves somewhat from the indie pop/rock they had successfully traded in as Skimmed. Venturing into darker waters, the duo tapped new sounds and absorbed fresh influences which, coupled with their own creative musings have surfaced in the music they are now making under the name of BlackFawn. Describing its music as experimental, psych-noise Goth, th

THE TRAVELLERS DEBUT SINGLE: SIMPLE YET EFFECTIVE

"It's contemporary, pop and in Maltese, so I expect most radios will take to it". Those were my precise words after being given an advance preview of Sempliċità just days after the New Year had rolled in. The debut single from Gozitan band The Travellers has of course picked up a healthy chunk of radio airplay since its official release in mid-January, not to mention an encouraging amount of positive feedback, even topping Bay Radio's Top 10 Malta chart earlier this week.

Tnax, which is lifted off his upcoming album, once again finds the artist singing in Maltese, an approach he adopted fairly recently after several requests from his fanbase. Clinton Paul is currently putting the finishing touches to what will be his third full-leng

SUNNY DEBUT FROM LIFE LONG WAR

Like many others before them, Life Long War started out as a small school project to provide an evening's entertainment for a scholastic activity, but evolved into a bonafide band. Thanks to that one event, they landed several other school-related gigs until, two summers ago, they finally made the big step into the local live circuit proper. "We've played a good number of gigs so far, among them performances at Notte Bianca, various fund-raising events and even a TV performan

FOREVER: TOBY & BRENDAN JACKSON'S NEW SINGLE

Further to having no less than eight of his songs snapped up by EMI and a typically busy summer schedule, Maltese DJ and producer Toby recently released a brand new single. Forever is a collaboration with singer-songwriter and Forty Days of Rain frontman Brendan Jackson; a song that packs enough clout to warm up the dancefloor as it does radio appeal. It is possibly also the furthest foray into pop territory by Jackson, who wrote the first draft of the song. “It was something

RIA'S NEW SINGLE OF SOLACE

The latest single from Maltese singer Ria comes not with the aim of topping radio charts, but with a word of comfort and an offering of solace, the song clearly part of the grieving process that the artist herself had to go through after the loss of her cousin Philip Bonett around a year and a half ago. "I've recorded another single", she wrote to me a few months back, "it's called See you again and it's in memory of my cousin who passed away after battling cancer for 15 year
