Jordanian stars are rare, Jordanian stars working together is a novelty. That's what you get when Jordanian Maryam Fakhri and Mohammad Qudeer release this duet as part of Maryam's latest album released with High Mix, an Arab company getting into the music scene.
To be frank those stars are not household names in Arabia, they do enjoy pleasant voices and the looks. But they are singing in Egyptian to appeal to the masses. This will alienate their home fans. Maryam Fakhri even opted for the blonde look and the shades from the 60s. The male star looks like your average Spanish guitar player. This is a really good songs where you rememberer the early work of stars like Hany Shaker, Shadia and other respected Arab Voices, but the music video lacks originality. I do think that Maryam's voice needs some tweaking and she might be better served to do some drills. Quadeer is already there....he's got it
I am excited fore the new stars and want to see them in concerts outside Jordan, they have a winner here in "Hobak Sa'ab", their voices are a match to each other and it seemed they have took their time in recording this song and unlike many duets, this one was not rushed to meet some deadline, so you know it has to be good.
