Ryan Hili Releases Debut Single: All For You

Ryan Hili Releases Debut Single: All For You
Jun 20 2023 Share

Ryan Hili, the winner of X-Factor Malta Season 3, has officially released his first solo single ‘All For You’. 

This track speaks about how difficult it is to admit that you are in love with someone. It shows the importance of admitting that you are in love before it is too late. 

This pop song is something different to what we’ve already heard from Ryan so far, but it showcases further breadth to his voice and capabilities. 

‘All For You’ is Ryan’s first solo single after his X Factor win back in 2022. 

This track was written by Shaun Farrugia, with piano composition by Aleandro Spiteri Monsigneur and produced by Peter Borg from Railway Studios. The music video was directed by Steven Levi Vella.

Temperatures To Feel Like 35°C This Week

Temperatures To Feel Like 35°C This Week
Jun 20 2023 Share

According to weather forecasters, the temperatures for this week are set to feel like a sizzling 35°C by this Thursday. 

Today, Tuesday 20th June, the highest temperature is being forecasted as 30°C, but this will significantly increase to 34°C by Thursday going into the weekend. 

The lowest temperatures seem to alternate between 20 and 23°C throughout the week as we finally get the long awaited summer atmosphere we’ve been craving after some unexpectedly wintery weather.

According to Facebook weather page ‘It-Temp Madwarna’, this still does not constitute a heat wave. 

The forecaster shared the definitions of a heat wave as used by both the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and the United Kingdom Met Office (UKMO). 

Malta uses the UKMO model, which states that a heat wave is 3 or more days with temperatures registered at 5°C or more than the seasonal average. 

The maximum temperatures for this week are not expected to go 5°C over the seasonal average of 29°C. 

So it’ll be hot, but not as hot as we expect it to be. What do you make of this?

Jun 20 2023 Share

Upon the launch of season six of the hit show Black Mirror, streaming giant Netflix an entire streaming service based on the fake platform used for the first episode. 

The anthology series returned to Netflix on the 15th of June with the first set of new episodes in around four years. 

The new season opens with “Joan Is Awful”, and follows the life of a normal woman who finds out that her life is being turned into a TV show starring Salma Hayek as herself.

In the episode, the show airs on a streaming service called Streamberry. It has a user interface which is almost a copy-paste of Netflix itself. 

To further promote the show, the official Netflix UK and Ireland Twitter accounts changed their names to Streamberry, with the ’N’ logo turned into an ’S’.

The platform even launched streamberry.tv, a fake version of Netflix which ultimately links back to Netflix when users attempt to watch a show.
