Local singer-songwriter Nicole Borg has released her debut single.
Freedom is the result of several months of work together with local established and talented artists, that include Luke Grech and Ryan Paul Abela among others.
Borg was first encouraged by her best friend to work on an original song, and when she plucked up the courage, she approached Siobhan Vassallo with whom she has been sharing her music journey for several years, especially through their band The Velveteens.
Vassallo eventually wrote the song’s music and penned the lyrics together with Borg and her best friend, Rachel Cassar.
The lyrics are about a personal experience Borg went through in which she explains how she felt that she was not good enough in the eyes of someone she cared about. The song speaks about the courage it takes to find oneself after coming out of such a tough situation and to pick up the pieces without seeking anyone else’s validation.
A collaboration between theatre company Arthaus and the Palace String Orchestra resulted in a promotional ‘quarantine Christmas’ video shot in Valletta.
The actors and the musicians collaborated to create a piece intended to capture the difficulties presented by a year dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“While we cannot be with our loved ones as usual this Christmas, our
message is simple.
“This Christmas, make sure no one is truly home alone – a phone call, a text, a video call and even a traditional Christmas card will certainly do the trick,” the creators said.
The Palace String Orchestra will be performing in the upcoming NYE 2021 Valletta Variety Show, a live television show that will be hosted by the Valletta Cultural Agency on December 31.
