Five years since the release of the acclaimed debut album Somedays, the two-man songwriting team of Ivan Filletti and Boris Cezek has reconvened, the first fruit of their labour being the brand new single, Sticks and Stones.
Boasting a chorus that will keep ringing in your ears well after the first listen, the new song sets a resonating optimistic tone that will lead up to Filletti’s second album release, which is scheduled to come out in April.
Commenting about the new song, Filletti said “Boris and I travelled to Gozo to have a songwriting session. We unpacked our guitars and just came up with this tune, with the lyrics coming to us naturally not long after. Unfortunately, the rest of the weekend didn’t prove as productive.”
Filletti’s vocals are delivered with intensity and sincerity; elements that have endeared the singer to the Maltese public and made him one of the most popular entertainers on the local scene.
Sticks and Stones can be streamed from Ivan Filletti’s official website, www.ivanfilletti.com.
