Relikc launch brand new single and music video ‘Chemicals’ with Pamela

Apr 8 2022

Relikc is back with a brand new single and music video titled “Chemicals”. The song is a collaboration with one of Malta’s finest vocalists Pamela Bezzina, and is a soulful ballad which is not typical of the band.

On the other hand, Pamela is well known for her Soul and Gospel background making her the perfect fit for the song. The song is the third release since Relikc’s change in line-up, and further solidifies their departure from their history of light-hearted music.

The music video was filmed at the Archaeological Museum in Valletta in collaboration with Heritage Malta, and also features a string quartet alongside the band and singers.

Regional Road lane partially closed after billboard tilts above Tal-Qroqq tunnels

Apr 8 2022

Regional road’s southbound lane from the Kappara flyover has been partially closed after the billboard above the tunnels worryingly tilted.

Upon tilting, the billboard posed as a dangerous hazard to commuters making use of the road. Civil Protection Department officials arrived on site within minutes, confirming that there were no injuries or perceived danger due to the billboard tilting inwards. The owner of the advertising board was been called on site to remove it.

Consideration is advised as the lane’s closure has led to a significant amount of congestion in the area. Photos from local Facebook page Maltese Road Traffic Updates have shown the gravity of the situation.
