Before Anyone! Kadem Al Sahir "La Tazedeh Lawaa" Album is Here



01.Asary El Zaaal, Say hello to very fresh music and so dazzling musical showcase courtesy, the sweetest and most poetic lyrics and most sensitive delivery form Kadem.
02.Dalaa El Nessa', now this is some club mix that we never saw coming, those who has said Kadem music is so sleepy...they can now stop. Here is the answer where upbeat club mix meets great poetry for the first time! Every woman would appreciate this twisted song loaded with little zingers. Dance baby dance
03.El Hob, a bladi song where Egyptian traditional beat marries the Iraqi beat on the natural music coming from the words.
04.El Sour, an amazing tale, a story of a woman who asks Kadem to talk her as she is afraid to talk alone. Only Kadem can turn this into a love story so aromatic. It feels like we are there for this journey. This is every Arab guy that would like to be known as Shahim.
05.Galesa Le Wahdek, prepare for some more traditional music, but very authentic music that goes well with the sober voice of the artist in this slower song about loving what you have and celebrating it.
06.Hayara Ya Zaman, this is the fairytale music we came to expect from Kadem, it's like a battle scene soundtrack, meant to appeal to those fans in Egypt and beyond. It reminds you of a more hip Kadem when you could dance to his songs, the 90s, but still worthy of his wisdom and musical taste.
07.Khalas El Youm, the darkest song on the album, it feels so lonely and has been made better by the convincing voice of down on his luck Kadem. Sure he has the best pronunciation and he never gets ahead of himself.
08.La Tezedeh Lawaa, the album gem and title song, opens like an epic song, poetry is a craft of Kadem, it opens like a Kadem safe song, till the chorus comes in swinging bringing this gem to life, it will be a huge hit in the Gulf is plays like a jalsat style song where the dialogue is part of the show
09.Ma Hebak Baad, the most Iraqi son on the album, the exciting choubi music that pumps and animates our Iraqi music fans. The lyrics serve the song well and deliver a melody that Iraqis will play over and over.
10.Marat Ala Baly, we love this song and we have reviewed it before here, it's an epic love story, a produce of great musicals notes, amazing vocals and perfect delivery Kadem orchestrated the best of his team to give us this song, it will live on like many of his Kadem works.
11.Maza Baad, sweet song about the memories, it reminds of his album "7abibity ta7t Alma6ar", his voice is still golden here and the story of his trouble is voiced here in aromatic lyrics and yes the chorus is essential here.
12.Ya Abo El Eiyoun El Soud, this is the Gulf safe song and the beat makes no apologies, in your face style of poetry delivered like a poet in a small room with those who celebrate his work. Again this is the Kadem of the 90s where the fusion of the Iraqi style goes well with the best of the Gulf beat.
13.Ya Sayedi El Mohtaram, the title is smart and gives you a sense of the song, you know you what you are getting, it's a replica of the hit Alma7kama song from the 2009 album. It's a slow song plays like a "We need to talk" to go over a relationship status. I enjoyed the lyrics here, the music feels tired and maybe that's why this song is meant to be enjoyed.

القيصر كاظم الساهر حبيبتي مرت على بالي جوده عاليه

  1. good experiment...but autotune on #2...come on, seriously?!
    and it maybe a club beat but I don't see it used that way (lest some highly remixed version) anytime soon due to the melancholic vocals.
    good review though, thanks

  2. the beginning sounds a bit auto tune to me Ma Al7al! But you might be right on this one. What a great track! Thanks
