Last year, the talented Maltese singer-songwriter Claire Tonna announced the exciting news that she’d be collaborating with the two-time Grammy award-winning, multi-platinum producer Jon-John Robinson, known for his work with world-famous artists like Diana Ross, Pink, TLC, and Lady Gaga.

The work has been done, and it’s almost release time! Claire has just announced that her EP, titled ‘Held’, will be dropping next week, on Thursday 30th January, available on all major music platforms!

The creative collaboration took place at the Arcade Studios in Texas, creating an EP that Claire describes as ‘a heartfelt journey of raw emotion, revival and resilience’. Alongside the release of the EP itself, the local singer-songwriter is also organising a suicide prevention campaign, through the musical message on the EP, in collaboration with MCAST College of Arts.

In a touching post, Claire thanked her entire creative team for their tireless work on the project, and revealed that a music video will follow soon after the release!

Stay tuned for some powerhouse vocals coming your way!
