Lisa Simpson: Eddie Fresco channels cartoon icon in latest track & video

Lisa Simpson: Eddie Fresco channels cartoon icon in latest track & video
Nov 5 2021 Share

Malta’s very own rap don Eddie Fresco is back once again with a brand new sound which channels a cartoon icon in The Simpsons’ very own saxophone-playing middle child Lisa Simpson. The hard-hitting track bridges the gap between Fresco’s harder-hitting body of work and something which will appeal to the mainstream audience as well.

The track is accompanied by a bold music video by long-time collaborator Taras Devitti, also known as @kasualboi.

‘Lisa Simpson’ comes after Fresco announced the impending arrival of his 5th full-length project ‘Alter Ego’, which he has been teasing throughout his tour with RedZed in the Czech Republic.

Eddie Fresco told Malta Daily that he feels what with this project, he finally found his own sound and can say that he is a big fan of his own music for the first time ever. Fresco feels that this project can close the gap between what is mainstream and what sounds underground, going on to thank collaborators and in-house producers Luna and Modest0.

Europe at epicentre of COVID-19 pandemic despite vaccination, WHO says

Nov 5 2021 Share

Top brass at the World Health Organization have stated that Europe is at the epicentre of the COVID-19 pandemic despite the continent’s current supply of vaccines. Europe has reportedly seen a jump of over 50% in COVID-19 cases with countries like the Netherlands tightening restrictions due to spikes in cases.

During a recent press briefing WHO emergencies chief Dr. Michael Ryan stated that while many vaccines are available, the uptake of said vaccines has not been equal. Dr. Ryan went on to call for European authorities to close the vaccination gap while WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has stated that countries which have immunised over 40% of their population should donate their available vaccines to countries whose citizens have not yet had an opportunity to receive their first dose.

Dr. Tedros called upon pharmaceutical companies to prioritise COVAX supply, the United Nations-backed initiatives to share vaccine doses across the globe.

Over 60 countries have began their booster dose distribution to strengthen immunity ahead of winter, with another wave of COVID-19 being expected. The European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) head of clinical studies and manufacturing task force Fergus Sweeney has highlighted the importance that everyone receives their vaccination or completes their doses “because we are not all protected until everyone is protected in that respect.”

What do you make of this?
