Julia Miralles Releases Powerful New Single: ‘Just One Minute (What a Waste)'
Rising indie-pop artist Julia Miralles has released her bold and emotionally-charged new single, 'Just One Minute (What a Waste).' The track, available now for streaming here, showcases Julia's signature lyrical vulnerability and soaring vocals, wrapped in a richly dynamic production. The single was produced by John Faye, acclaimed frontman of The Caulfields, and mixed and mastered at the legendary Studio 4 in Conshohocken, PA. 'Just One Minute (What a Waste)' explores the weight of emotional miscommunication and the brief but painful moments that can define — and undo — a connection. Julia's poignant lyrics and raw delivery cut to the core, capturing the complexity of heartbreak in just under four minutes. 'I wanted to capture how it feels when a single moment undoes everything — and how powerless that can make you feel,' says Miralles. 'Working with John and recording at Studio 4 made it possible to bring that vision to life.' The single is Julia's most polished and personal release to date and marks the beginning of a new chapter in her evolving sound — blending alt-pop energy with intimate storytelling.

My husband has run off with my best pal – I've lost everything in one cruel blow… how do I begin rebuilding my life?
DEAR DEIDRE: JUST six months ago, I had what I thought was the perfect life – a loving husband, two children and a best friend I trusted with everything. Now I've lost pretty much all of it in one cruel blow and I have to watch the two people I loved most, apart from my children, move on with each other. I'm 41 and my husband is 43. We'd been married for 12 years and, although things hadn't been perfect, I truly believed we were solid. My best friend — who I've known since we were teenagers — was like family. She came on holidays with us, babysat our kids and confided in me daily. Then, out of nowhere, my husband sat me down and told me he was leaving me. No explanation, just that he wasn't happy. I was left completely blindsided. Only weeks later did I find out the truth. He'd been having an affair with my best friend the entire time. Now he's moved in with her and they're playing happy families while I'm left to process it all alone. He thinks that because she knows our children well, they will be happy to spend time at their new 'home'. But our children are so young, only nine and seven, and are very confused. I'm struggling to keep it together. I feel humiliated, betrayed and utterly heartbroken. I can't understand how they could be so cruel. I would have done anything for either of them. I try to act normal for the kids but inside I feel broken. I can't sleep, I barely eat and I don't know how to start moving forward. I don't even know where to begin rebuilding my life. Dear Deidre: Cheating and can you get over it DEIDRE SAYS: This is a devastating betrayal and it's no wonder you're struggling to make sense of it. When trust is broken so deeply by the two people closest to you, the pain can feel unbearable. Allow yourself time to grieve the end of your marriage and the loss of a friendship you valued deeply. Try to focus on what you can control – looking after yourself and your children – and slowly, over time, you will adjust and start to rebuild. It is positive that you are trying to keep things stable for your children. Putting them first is absolutely the right thing to do. I'm sending you my support pack, Moving On, to help you process what's happened and take steps towards reclaiming your life. GRANDSON'S CHANGED… AND I BLAME COCAINE USE DEAR DEIDRE: MY grandson is destroying his life with cocaine, and I'm terrified I'm going to lose him because of it. He's only 24, smart and kind-hearted, but over the past year he's changed beyond recognition. He's lost weight, become secretive, fallen out with friends and family and he lies constantly. I recently found out from his ex-girlfriend that he's using cocaine heavily and often, but when I gently confronted him, he completely denied it. I'm his 69-year-old grandmother, and I raised him on and off when his parents struggled. We've always had a close bond, and it's heartbreaking to see him like this. I know he needs help, but I don't know how to get through to him. How do you help someone who won't admit they have a problem before it's too late? DEIDRE SAYS: Watching a loved one spiral into addiction is incredibly painful, especially when they refuse to accept help. Your concern is completely valid – addiction thrives in secrecy and denial, and your grandson may not yet realise the impact it's having on his life. Keep the lines of communication open. Let him know you're worried because you care, not because you're judging. Avoid confrontation but be consistent in your concern and support. Reach out to Adfam ( who help families affected by drugs and alcohol. My support pack, Drug Worries?, will also help. DEAR DEIDRE: HAVING decided that she is done caring for my brother who has motor neurone disease, my sister-in-law now expects me and my husband to pick up the pieces. I'm 64, my brother is 67, and of course I want to help. But my sister-in-law dropped this on me without warning, acting like it's a done deal. She's been his primary carer since he was diagnosed a year ago, and I understand how exhausting it must be. My husband and I help out, but we're not in a position to take full responsibility – physically or emotionally. I feel torn between wanting to support my brother and feeling taken for granted. The guilt is eating away at me but so is the resentment. How do I set boundaries and speak up without causing a family fallout – or leaving my brother feeling abandoned? DEIDRE SAYS: It is understandable to feel overwhelmed when caregiving responsibilities suddenly shift without your input. Setting boundaries is essential – for your wellbeing and your brother's care. Have an honest chat with your sister-in-law and husband about what you can realistically manage. Emphasise that you want to support your brother but need a sustainable plan that doesn't fall solely on you. Consider involving a social worker, who can help arrange support. Citizens Advice ( should be able to help you with the legalities. THREATENED BY HER SEX HISTORY DEAR DEIDRE: I HAVE developed 'the ick' for my girlfriend, and I hate myself for it. I'm 27, she's 26 and we've been together for eight months. Everything has been great – she's kind and funny, and we have amazing chemistry. But recently she told me something I can't stop thinking about. She mentioned casually that she slept with one of her male friends a few years ago. They only hooked up once, it didn't go anywhere, and they've stayed friends ever since. I didn't say anything at the time but now I feel weird about it. They still hang out regularly and message often. She swears there's nothing between them and I believe her, but something about it just makes my skin crawl. I don't want to be controlling or insecure, but I can't shake the feeling that I'm second best or competing with someone she has known far longer. I've been off with her lately and she's started to notice. I don't want to ruin a good thing over something that happened before me but it's really getting under my skin. How do I get over this? DEIDRE SAYS: It's understandable that this revelation has unsettled you but remember she was honest, and their friendship has continued platonically. That shows transparency, not deceit. Still, your feelings matter. If the situation makes you uncomfortable, try to explore why. Is it insecurity, fear of comparison, or something else? Talk to her calmly and openly. Focus on how it made you feel, not what she did 'wrong'. This is also a good time to discuss boundaries. Every couple has different lines around exes or past hook-ups, and it's OK to want clarity. Just be careful not to project suspicion where there's no sign of betrayal. I'm sending you my support pack, Dealing With Jealousy, which will help you work through these feelings.

Heartfelt ‘Promises': Vusi Nova talks heartbreak anthem, upcoming album and bold vision
Vusi Nova dropped a new heartbreak anthem for those healing from broken relationships, showcasing his matured vocal control. The musician said his record label, Nova Sounds, is well on its way to being a force to be reckoned with. He is set to release a new album on 25 July while making his black-tie intimate concerts an annual tradition. With his smooth, velvety voice, Vusi Nova has arguably cemented his place as the ballad king of South African music. The acclaimed artist is back with his latest single, Phendula, available on all digital platforms. The track serves as an ode to those healing from broken hearts, masterfully capturing the intoxicating magic of falling deeply in love before experiencing the crushing weight of heartbreak – complete with all the regrets, lingering moments, and unanswered questions that follow. Never one to shy away from delivering music that allows audiences to fully immerse themselves emotionally, the musician reflects on how far he's travelled since his early recording days. 'It's all about tapping into those emotions and actually, in a way, reliving painful moments. Also, I think with time, my voice has matured, and I'm able to control it more and play with it to express a feeling,' he explains. Born Vusimuzi Nongxa, the artist successfully transitioned from R&B and neo-soul to Afro-pop, achieving breakthrough success with albums like Naninina. His reputation rests on heartfelt lyrics and powerful vocals that seamlessly incorporate his Xhosa cultural heritage. 'Singing in isiXhosa and English has always been natural for me, and it's never been a problem. Coming from GQ has made this even easier because that is how we speak. We are flexible; we flow easily from English to isiXhosa. It's what I've been able to capture in my music,' he says. Nova's approach is instinctive when asked about his process for determining which personal experiences are ready to become songs versus those requiring more emotional processing time: 'It's never something I consciously think about – it happens naturally. Obviously, some situations linger longer in your mind and feel almost urgent.' In a previous 2023 interview with News24, Nova revealed he had finally built up the courage to pursue a long-held dream: launching his own record label. While the South African music scene isn't short of such ventures, Nova was convinced his approach would be different due to the genuine intention behind it. 'When I started singing, there was no one there to hold my hand and show me the way, leading me in the right direction. So, it took me much longer to establish myself because I had to fight and fight and fight with no support,' he reflected at the time. Now well on his way to making his vision bigger and better, Nova explains: 'I've always been passionate about unearthing raw talent, so for me, it was a natural decision to have my own platform where I could do this. I also feel that being an artist myself is an advantage for my artists, and I understand what artists truly need.' The musician achieved another milestone with his first solo intimate show at Emperors Palace Centre Court on 1 May, featuring an impressive lineup including Kelly Khumalo, Nathi Mankayi, Zuko SA, Kwanda, 047, BusiGold, Ssips, and Stu. 'My black-tie event was the first one I organised myself, and it was both challenging and incredibly eye-opening. I plan on making it an annual event with the goal of taking it to even bigger venues,' he shares. Reflecting on industry realities, Nova notes: 'This industry teaches you to be very thick-skinned and to expect anything and everything. Also, not everything is worth commenting on.' He shared his plans and said more music was coming: 'My album is set to drop on 25 July 2025, and it will be called Promises. 'Making Nova Sounds a force to be reckoned with is the plan, and we're already well on our path.'

Tiny Love Stories: ‘Nudes of the Man I Miss'
A Record of Two Loves Do photos of my dead mother belong next to nude pictures of my ex? Doubtful. But that's the reality in my 'hidden' iPhone album. A real sick party. Recently, I stumbled across pictures of my mom's final days. I'd been compelled to document that time, creating a visual record I didn't want but knew I needed while processing grief. To free myself from scrolling past these difficult images without warning, I finally hid them. The result? Photos of my dying mom alongside hot nudes of the man I miss — a juxtaposition of love and longing so inappropriate yet so human. — Rachel Sampson 'Tell Me True' In Arabic-inflected English, Grandma asked, 'How are you?' 'Fine,' I answered. She gave me a look that said she didn't believe me. 'Tell me true,' she said. Wedded at 16 in Damascus, she had spent decades with my grandfather in an arranged marriage. How could I tell her that at 27 I was heartbroken and about to leave my husband of only two years? She waited for my answer in gentle silence. I forced out the words. She nodded, smiled sadly and hugged me. Years later, I hold her lesson close: Real connection blooms only if you tell it true. — Susie Hara Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

One person said: 'It shows he wasn't just the best spinner in the history of cricket, he was an amazing father and a brilliant man'. While another commented: 'I'm so sorry that he isn't here physically anymore you could see he loved you kids more than anything : (sending my love and prayers.' A third added: 'Oh honey, I'm so sorry that he isn't here physically anymore you could see he loved you kids more than anything. Sending my love and prayers.'

He is considered one of the greatest cricketers to ever play the game claiming a whopping 708 Test wickets at 25.41 in 145 matches between 1992 and 2007.
