A Lily Unveils Poignant Track 'Tħallinix' from Upcoming Album "Saru l-Qamar"
Renowned musician James Vella, known under the moniker A Lily, has released the final single, 'Tħallinix' [Eng: Don’t Leave Me], from his forthcoming album "Saru l-Qamar." This track encapsulates the essence of the album, which intertwines archival Maltese home recordings with new music, resulting in a captivating blend of nostalgic quasi-ambience and cross-generational dialogue.
Set to be released on April 5th, 2024, via Phantom Limb / Kewn Records, "Saru l-Qamar" marks a significant departure for Vella, who delves into the rich tapestry of Maltese cultural heritage to craft a unique musical experience. The album's title, meaning "They Became The Moon" in English, hints at its thematic exploration of memory, loss, and the enduring presence of those who came before us.
'Tħallinix' emerges as a pivotal track within the album, with Vella explaining its profound significance: "The singer in the recording is expressing so much anguish that my contribution as arranger fell into place almost in real time." The poignant piano lines and haunting melodies serve as a response to the raw emotions conveyed in the original recording, creating a deeply moving musical dialogue that resonates long after the song concludes.
The creation of "Saru l-Qamar" was inspired by the archival work of Malta’s nonprofit heritage foundation, Magna Żmien, which preserves reel tapes containing traditional Maltese songs and familial messages sent by emigrants to their homeland. Through access to these recordings, Vella embarked on a journey of musical reinterpretation, breathing new life into age-old sentiments and stories.
Accompanied by minimal DAW intervention and hardware synthesis, the tracks on "Saru l-Qamar" exude a ghostly, ethereal quality, transforming simple narratives into poignant elegies. As Vella aptly describes, "Though these people have left us, they can never be truly forgotten, as without them we would not be here."
"Saru l-Qamar" follows A Lily's previous releases, including "Sleep Through the Storm" and "Nocturne Thunder," showcasing Vella's versatility as a musician and his ability to craft evocative sonic landscapes. With this latest offering, Vella invites listeners to embark on a transcendent journey through time and memory, where the past intertwines with the present to create something truly timeless.
The album will be available on limited colored vinyl, digital, and streaming platforms on April 5th, with pre-orders currently open on Bandcamp.
