Like many of the singers and musician who attended the inaugural M3P conference at St James Cavalier last month, Adie gave me copies of her CDs to take home with me. I’m glad she did because I’m thus able to close this week’s podcast with her new single. There’s also a very decently produced video for this song, which I think deserves more attention that it has received so far, particularly by fans of her particular genre of music and associated styles. - Toni Sant (UK) - (23rd July 2011)
Maintaining her steady presence on the local music scene, Maltese singer Adie recently launched her latest single Reaction during an edition of Sunday television game show Hadd Ghalik.
The new single, written by American songwriter Bryan Steele and produced by Freetime Productions, is an edgy R’n’B song full of attitude and strong vocals, an aspect further emphasised by the presence of Sharks on Earth, a six-strong breakdance crew who feature in the accompanying video for the song.
The past year has been a busy one for Adie. Apart from releasing the song Tug of War in collaboration with popular Maltese rapper Hooligan, she also collaborated with various established songwriters from the US, Canada, the UK and Australia, whose resumés includes writing songs for the likes of Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Pussycat Dolls and Miley Cyrus.
More recently, Adie was also nominated for Best Female Solo Artist and Best Pop Artist awards on an international website by public vote. She was one of the 10 finalists in both categories with her self-penned song, If I Were You.
She also reached the semi-finals in a UK Songwriting Contest last year with another of her own compositions that will be released at a later date. The competition attracted over 50,000 songwriters from all over the world.
Adie is currently working on her second album. Reaction is available on iTunes and other online digital stores worldwide.

After the launch of her new updated website last February, singer Adie followed up with a brand new single written by American songwriter Bryan Steele, called Reaction.
Reaction is an edgy song full of attitude and strong vocals, and is accompanied by Adie's 1st professional music video, filmed and produced by Evolution Media, with the participation of 6 very talented breakdancers, Sharks On Earth.
Adie has been pretty busy the past year working on her new songs with the collaboration of established songwriters from the US, Canada, UK and Australia, some of whom are also signed to Sony/ATV as well as Universal, as well as collaborators on songs for Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, The Pussycat Dolls and Christina Aguilera.
Adie recently organised a huge party at The Black Pearl in Ta' Xbiex during which she performed some of her new songs to her 200 special guests. Adie's fans and followers are now awaiting her 2nd album.
This year Adie was also nominated Best Female Solo Artist as well as Best Pop Artist on an international website where voting was by the public. In fact, she was one of the 10 finalists nominated for these 2 prestigious titles with her song If I Were You, written by Adie herself. Adie will also be remembered for her Tug Of War, sung with notorious local rapper Hooligan, launched in September 2010.

Maltese singer/songwriter Adie has just released a new song called “Tug of War”. This single has been released with the notorious rapper Hooligan. Although Adie’s main focus is Pop, “Tug of War” was influenced from American music, mainly RnB and Hip Hop.
“Tug of War” was officially released on Facebook on the 12th September 2010 and has become very popular with the listeners and viewers of the video. In fact those who would like to listen and watch the video of this song can find it on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZEGRncZTVA.
Adie is making a name for herself and also for Malta. In fact, a song that Adie wrote last year was classified as a semi-finalist amongst 50,000 songwriters in the UK Songwriting Contest. She also reached no.2 in international charts with her song “Somebody Out There”.
Currently Adie is working with American, English and Australian top-notch songwriters and therefore, in the next couple of months, we will be listening to more songs from Adie’s second album that are mainly Pop but with a cross-over of RnB, influenced by singers such as Alicia Keys, Nelly Furtado, Rihanna and Beyonce.

Maltese pop singer Adrienne shortened her name to Adie last year and started flirting with R&B and raunchier sounds than the sort of tunes she wrote and sang in the many years she’s been active on the local music scene. A collaboration with Maltese rap king Hooligan will certainly give anyone an edge but it will take more than this to give Adie the street credibility she seems to be after with this song. Still, someone as driven as this singer-songwriter will keep exploring new ways to get noticed and that can only raise the possibility for producing something really memorable. This is the first time I’ve featured Adie on the MMI podcast but I’m pretty sure it’s not the last.

Bio
Since when she was a child, Adie was always part of the music and entertainment business since she started modelling, singing and dancing at a very young age. In fact, a recorded cassette of Adie (aged 5) singing Vanessa Paradis's song 'Jo Le Taxi', lead her to the beginning of this career where she was spotted by a local talent scout who started recording sessions with Adie.
Her music was influenced by many American & European artists - Akon, Alicia Keys, Nelly Furtado, J. Lo, The Black Eyed Peas, Madonna, Craig David and so many others. In fact, her genre focuses on pop with a cross-over of R&B/Dance/Hip-hop.
Having had many opportunities to work with elite companies in Malta & also opened the Malta Coca-Cola Music Festival in 2009, Adie has also been a supporting act singer for three very popular and well-known Italian singers (Riccardo Fogli, Luca Barbarossa and Scialpi) at just age 14.
Adie has released her very 1st CD Album in March 2009, in which half of the songs are her own compositions and she is now working on her second album in collaboration with international top songwriters.
What distinguishes Adie from other artists is the fact that she comes from an almost unknown tiny island that makes everyone curious to know more about this artist and the music that she can offer to her audience. Adie's voice and personality is a combination of strong and soft, passion and energy with that pinch of Arabic/Mediterranean feel to it.
Currently Adie is also competing in MOArtist where she needs many votes and fans in order to be able to get signed to EMI Record Label & expose her talent worldwide. This is the link to help her in her quest: http://www.moartist.com/index.php?page=profile&memid=10399
