F1RST PLAY: Red Electrick and Destiny Join Forces In One Massive Collaboration!
10:08 am
2021 is looking to be yet another year that is all about collaborations in the local music scene and make no mistake this release by one of the hottest bands around- Red Electrick, featuring Malta’s powerhouse female vocalist and X Factor Malta Season 2 Winner- Destiny will be one of the top collaborations of the year.
‘Mistake’ is one of the tracks featured on Red Electrick’s award-winning album ‘Tragic Optimistic’ and has been revamped to feature the distinctive and soulful vocals of Destiny.
The track has been released this morning on radio airwaves with the First Play on Bay during Bay Breakfast with Daniel and Ylenia, along with a music video that has Steven Levi Vella’s artistic imprint all over it and which amps up the heat and will get temperatures rising from the very first shot and opening notes.
Joe took to social media to post the cover in Instagram’s IGTV section, but he’s not just singing! The singer provided us with a full-on cover, as he can be saying playing all of the instruments too.
As for the rest of the band, Red Electrick has more recently released a Christmas track last December in collaboration with fellow local sensation, Luke Chappell.
Happy New Year from everyone at REK ⚡️⚡️. It’s hard to put in words how excited we are to share what we have planned for 2021 . For now all we can say is STAY TUNED ❤️
As for new music and projects, exciting things should also be coming our way this year, so stay tuned for more!
Young X Factor Malta star Luke Chappell is releasing a new Christmas 2020 song with Red Electrick and will be performing with the band in a special concert in Valletta.
Organised by the Valletta Cultural Agency, this event will take place in Republic Square, under the arches near the National Library of Malta (Bibliotheca), on Friday, December 18 at 7pm.
This is another initiative as part of the Valletta Cultural Agency’s ‘Christmas in the City’ programme during a most difficult year for artists.
The new single,
Christmas Time With You, is about putting down our phones for one day and spending time with loved ones while enjoying the family spirit.
Malta’s performing artists risk “extinction” unless they are provided with more COVID-19 aid, one of the country’s leading guitarists has warned.
“After years of struggling, adapting, investing and finally being able to create a reality where we managed, after a lot of sacrifices, to make our passion a living, many performing artists are sadly on the verge of giving up,” Wayne Camilleri said.
“We are amongst the hardest hit, both financially and personally. Yet our concerns have been brushed off with promises of a better tomorrow soon. Yet today is our struggle.”
With large events banned and public gatherings banned and bars closed until at least New Year’s Day, performing artists have been left with precious little space where they can actually perform.
