Maltese Music Friday is finally here and the vibes are real

Dec 11 2020

In typical Maltese fashion, the local music scene never fails to impress and this week is no different with 3 huge new releases from renowned local artists.

The first release is Mteam’s much-anticipated ‘Love’ which brings the well-needed Christmas vibes with a joyous and powerful pop tune and what could be another hit on their repertoire.

On the darker side of things, we have young star Luke Chappell with his latest single ‘Drugs’, a strong follow up to his last single ‘Lonely Again’, which recently hit 1 million streams.

Finally we have local rap favourite Owen Leuellen with ‘Dark Days’, a dark, intense rap track reminiscent of the 2020 vibes. We’ve been looking forward to this one!
