Little known Lebanese singer (I thought he was Iraqi) known to many Arabic music fans just released his first song to be featured in a movie. the movie that his song will grace and help market is Alshouq "Lust", the much acclaimed Egyptian movie where actress Susan Bader won an award for best female performance. From the look of things, she really nailed that part and transformed herself into the role in such a powerful way.
Rida has a lot to gain by having his voice on the soundtrack promoting this controversial yet acclimated movie. He is not a household name, but he does have a lot of fans who tend to be older, Lebanse or just fans of his mostly dramatic songs. This song Raby Yi'awad will enter every Arab home and plays over and over again, making sure he gets new fans and for sure it will help be enter the Egyptian market who have not been listening to his music.
The song is not in Egyptian style, but it's very close to the words heard often in the street of Egypt as they go One more note about the movie, this movie seems like the one to remind many of us why serious Egyptian cinema is not dead and that there is room for independent feature like this one staring pop singer Ruby, and her sister in a breakout role.
Rida has just wrapped up working on his music album that has 15 songs, the work of two years with musicians, lyricists, and studio technicians, the workd of many A list Arab talents like Nizar Francis, and Dr. Nabil Khalaf, Sameer Sfeer, Ayman Bahjat Qamar and Waleed Saad, the renounced composer. the album "'Aysheen" should be out shortly.
Rida - Rabby Ye'awwad / رضا - ربي يعوض
