Pop Artist Clinton Paul has released his seventh music video, that for his single Blackout that will be included in his forthcoming second studio album out June 19th of this year.

The concept of the music video is an Asian one, and there are some very interesting looks within this music clip. The video shows that even if you are going through a very tough time, You must never give up. The darkness is needed to see the stars and the stars mean HOPE.

Blackout was once again shot and produced by Evolution Media, who already worked with Clinton Paul on two more music videos, namely Robot and Christmas Eve – both released last year.


Blackout can be seen on Clinton Paul Official YouTube Channel right here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVAZJn1C-jI

On the occasion of the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and the election of Pope Francis I Preca Publications of Blata l-Bajda have just published a new book penned by Anthony Spiteri and entitled  IL-PAPIET – L-istorja tal-papat tul is-sekli. The Popes – the history of the papacy through the centuries.

As the title indicates, the book comprises a compendium of all the popes from St Peter, the first pope, to the present one, Pope Francis. As addenda the book also includes information on all anti-popes, an interesting article about the papacy, and an  alphabetical index of all the popes.

In order that the reader be given the full truth on the men who sat on Peter chair during the years the book does not delve only on the popes who rendered honour to the Church of Christ through their wisdom and sanctity, but also on those who were not at all exemplary in their personal lives and in the way they administered the Church.


The book comprises 448 pages and has an attractive full-colour cover by graphic artist Warren Busuttil. It is selling at 15 euros both from Preca Library of Blata l-Bajda and other main outlets.
