Ira Losco has released her latest studio album, her seventh in a music career spanning 15 years.
Double album 'No Sinner No Saint' features 24 songs, with half reflecting the pop idol’s good side, and the other half her bad.
'No Sinner No Saint’ is a manifestation of who I am,” the singer said. “I’m neither a Sinner nor a Saint but a bit of both at different selected times in my life. The idea of the double album is to enjoy both sides in whichever order one wants” she added.
In true Losco fashion, the album reflects the singer’s varied musical influences, with some tracks reflecting an 80s tone, some with a hint of 90s old school rap and others featuring a touch of gospel.
The last track on the album, You Did it Again, marks Ira Losco’s 100th song to date .
The album also includes Losco’s most recent singles namely We Are The Soldiers, OMG, One in A Million and an anniversary edition of one of her very first singles Love me or Hate me which she announced at her sold out Concert last Christmas.
Throughout her music career, Ms Losco has released two full length remix albums, one full length DVD, a 400 page photographic journal and two EPs. Her last release was her EP with Warner Music which included Walk on Water.
All tracks were produced and mixed by Howard Keith at Jagged House studios.
“Whilst the album has a very current sound to it, ‘No Sinner No Saint’ has lots of personality with an eclectic variety of genres retaining Losco’s identified sound. I say this with every album but truthfully her vocals just keep getting better,” he said.
“This release is probably a first of it’s kind for Malta. It is certainly very unusual for an artist to release a studio double album nowadays. It has become a single’s market which unfortunately also means relationships with fans are short-lived, unlike Ira’s case.”
Ms Losco, who features in Coca Cola World Cup anthem Colors alongside Jason Derulo, will be performing live at Ħondoq Bay on July 6 and again at H Hotel on July 14.
'No Sinner No Saint' is available now from all digital platforms and will be available in physical formats from Monday June 25. Fans can try for a free, signed copy by attending a meet and greet at Nestle, Lija, on Saturday June 23.
