X Factor favourite Nicole Frendo Releases Debut Single ‘Temptations’

Jul 5 2023 Share

Nicole Frendo, the talented Maltese artist who captured the hearts of many during her journey as a finalist on X Factor, has released her debut single, ‘Temptations’ – a heartfelt and captivating release.

Frendo’s experience on X Factor served as a springboard for personal and artistic growth, prompting her to explore new possibilities and push the boundaries of her vocal abilities. Recognizing the need to find her own voice and define her career path, Frendo dedicated her time to honing her songwriting skills and crafting original songs that reflect her unique perspective.

‘Temptations’, underwent an intriguing evolution during the creative process. Initially, the song took on a different form, brimming with raw emotions and messages that were challenging to encapsulate fully. However, with the invaluable assistance of music producer Alexei De Bono, also known as LEX, Frendo was able to shape the song into a pop gem that resonates deeply with her. The collaboration between Frendo and LEX has been an incredible journey, resulting in an upbeat and soulful tune that is a departure from Frendo’s usual style and genre.

The essence of ‘Temptations’ lies in its lyrics, which delve into the complexities of decision-making and the overwhelming nature of certain choices we face in life. Love, in particular, serves as a backdrop for the song, exploring the challenges of moving forward after experiencing a profound connection. Through her songwriting, Frendo has found solace and clarity, offering listeners a glimpse into her personal journey and perspective.

As a solo, independent artist, this milestone represents a lifelong dream that predates her appearance on X Factor. For fans and music enthusiasts alike, the release of ‘Temptations’ marks the beginning of an exciting journey with Nicole Frendo as she embarks on her solo career.

According to new data by the US National Centres for Environmental Protection, last Monday, July 3rd 2023, was the hottest day ever recorded in the world. 

The average global temperature reached 17.01 degrees, which surpasses the 2016 August record of 16.29 degrees Celsius. 

As heatwaves begin to once again hit various parts of the globe for the summer, North Africa saw temperatures reach up to 50°C, whilst China saw a heatwave kicking up temperatures above 35°C. 

Antartica, despite its frozen environment and currently in its winter season, saw ‘anomalously high temperatures’. 

The Ukrainian Vernadsky research base, currently in the frozen Argentine Islands, recently broke its July temperature record with a reading of 8.7°C. 

Jeni Miller, executive director of the California-based Global Climate and Health Alliance, an international consortium of health organisations, said: 

“People around the world are already enduring climate impacts, from heatwaves, wildfires and air pollution to floods and extreme storms. Global warming is also exacerbating crop losses and the spread of infectious diseases, as well as migration.”

‘We Only Address These Issues When Something Bad Happens’

'We Only Address These Issues When Something Bad Happens'
Jul 5 2023 Share

Taking to social media, Nationalist MP Darren Carabott issued a moment of silence for the victims of various social issues over which ‘a lot of talk has taken place, but not much substantial action.’

Darren highlighted the issues of drug and substance abuse, domestic violence, air and environmental pollution, endangered workers, dangerous driving and traffic fatalities as well as the taboo over mental health.

Having addressed the issues through flash cards, the MP said it is better to actually break the silence about these topics which he argued are only addressed when something bad happens. 

‘When something happens, everyone speaks about it. After a while, everything moves on. Before we find a solution, we must first admit that these problems have been with us and are still growing’, said the MP.

He urged people not to put down people who are actively talking about these various subjects and that it is useless to perceive Malta as a ‘modern country’ when there are basic issues which lack any control.

‘And if those who are supposed to do something about these issues doesn’t want to listen, we should raise our voices higher so that they hear us’.

‘If we take action today, we can save a life today. Tomorrow may be too late’, finished Carabott.
