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.
