Hot off their double pregnancy announcement, sister duo The New Victorians aren’t slowing down anytime soon. Be Fine, their latest single from their album Thick Skin, has just dropped.

Last year the sister duo released their second Full-Length Studio Album; a 13-track body of work which was all about two sisters in their late 20s, grappling with life, motherhood, and what it means to be a woman with “thick skin”.
Their latest single and video, one of the darkest on the album, is all about the times you feel helpless when a situation is out of your control. “…when you can’t fix the problem and you hate to watch a friend/child/loved one suffer through whatever they’re going through on their own” says Philippa.
“The idea for the song came before I became a mother, when I was seeing friends of mine suffer with their mental health during the pandemic, and feeling there was nothing I could do to fix anything.
I couldn’t even be physically present,” says Bettina, the older of the two. “Now having since had my first child, and expecting my second, the song seems to take on a whole new meaning to me.
In so many ways, we want to protect our children and make sure they don’t get hurt, or ever have to go through anything uncomfortable. But I’ve also learned that, sometimes, you’ve got to let your child pass through that “hard” phase, to come out of it stronger and grow out of it.
Sometimes hurt doesn’t always harm, and we can’t ‘make it all go away’, but we can be available and be present, and sometimes that’s the best we can do, and that’s enough.”

Be Fine was produced by The New Victorians with additional production, mixing and mastering by Howard Keith at Jagged House Studios. The official music video was directed and produced by Steven Levi Vella & Clive Brincat, featuring Matthias Camilleri and Seed Dance Studios.

Following his victory over the Vitals-Steward Healthcare court case, PN MP Adrian Delia took to social media to highlight the poor state of St Luke’s Hospital.
Delia posted images of hospital wards ‘B1, B4 and others. 6 days have passed. Who is the police commissioner investigating?’
He went on to ask who the Prime Minister is searching to ensure that the €300 million is returned to the people. ‘We are waiting and won’t stop putting pressure’ wrote Delia.
This follows exclusive footage uploaded by NET News which showed the current state of St Luke’s. The corridors and rooms of the hospital were shown to be full of junk, such as mattresses and furniture.

Non-governmental organisation Puttinu Cares took to social media to report that the building which will house Maltese patients battling cancer is undergoing massive progress.
‘The love you show our brothers and sisters in need never dies’ wrote the NGO. ‘Today we came to London and are following the progress of the building which was bought so that the Maltese and Gozitan people can use it when in need.’
‘After a search of 7 years, we managed to find this property just 10 minutes away from the central hospitals in London. Without census so that it remains Maltese property forever!’
Puttinu Cares explained how money raised from the people’ donations were invested responsibly and now work is progressing wonderfully. An application for another level was also inputted to accommodate more patients.
The NGO will be raising even more funds on Good Friday so that ‘Home Away From Home’ becomes a reality for many people still struggling. The Good Friday Marathon will take place on the 7th of April 2023.
