Bloodline
A pop duo based in Malta
Two Maltese singers Samira and Julia who have bonded together with one dream and passion to un, who placed fifth in the second season of X Factor, have released their first original song Minute to Midnight (MTM), a song that further establishes the duo’s style and potential.
Bloodline weaves dark-pop with a melody that Samira and Julia manage to convey very eloquently. Minute to Midnight (MTM)’s lyrics were written by the duo themselves together with Lex, who also wrote the music.
This song is the first fruit of their collaboration in the aftermath of the pandemic, which forced the two normally inseparable girls to spend three months apart. This was a time that served to get them inspired and also provided them with grit to work on new material.
Minute to Midnight (MTM) is about the personal journey and the struggle for intimate love, the primary and necessary love that one should have for oneself. The best way they could convey this particular message is through this rather heavier genre, different than their usual, a style that has sparked curiosity about what’s in store for Bloodline’s future. This 'heavy' style also dominates the videography.
In 2022, Bloodline took part in the Maltese music festival "Mużika Mużika" with their first track in their native language, "Mewġ" Writen by Edwin Balzan, Julia Balzan & Samira Cauchi and Composed by Elton Zarb & Glen Vella
Mewġ originated during a time of rest, as they were inspired by the beauty of the sea view from the window of their apartment. The sea is a main element in the song which is compared to the passage of time. Although time changes and passes quickly, the waves in the sea always remain the same. Bloodline tell how, because of the pandemic, they felt their youth was running away from them. They state that amidst all this sadness, they find relief by going on a trip to the seashore. They reflect on the blue sea and the beauty of nature, how the sea even feels like it speaks to them through the waves and the cod is crashing against the rocks. This song helps us to reflect and appreciate nature. We learned that although time keeps passing, and with it can bring unexpected challenges and circumstances, we can always get lost for a few moments through the beauty around us.
