Mohamed Kelany's Mafihoush Ghalta is Flawless



It took some guts to title your album Mafihoush Ghalta, translating to "Perfect", "Flawless" even before I listened to the album, I wanted to like it because so far I liked everything Kelany released up to the point. So I am biased.

01. Ala Meen, dance away little man, this is a party song that even those who do not want party can still enjoy as the lyrics make perfect sense. Shows the softer and sweeter side of the young star whose song serves as an ultimatum.
02.Alby Ala Eidy, the second music video in the album, starts with a traditional mawal then pick up to tell you a story and make you move along the catchy tune.
03.Ayez Tessebny, slow music fast paced lyrics, I am a fan of this style, when the lyrics and vocals lead then the music follows. I like the drum beat it helps the song progress
04.Ebn Nas, love the fresh lyrics and exciting music, it's a one sided conversation that tells a story of a relationship in trouble in colorful words.
05.Eih Elly Sah, the softest song on the album, not much music to speak of, delightful love letter by a confused soul that touches all the love mix ups and confusions. It's soft, yet dark talking about not being able to move on.
06.El Nas Betess'alny, finally some good rock song, emotionally charged and the lyrics come to life in this song. The vocals of Kelany are at their best, we need more songs like this one. This is how you earn new fans, give us something original like this.
07.Heneyetak Leya, a personal song coming form the heart promises great things, melodramatic but it works well with the song atmosphere
08.Mafihoush Ghalta, the title song, baladi dance beat, some electric influence, the lyrics are dazzling and the mixing and mastering make this song an instant pop hit.
09.Mn Hena W Rayeh Ma'ak, dance mix, where good lyrics and digital mastering save it, not my style by all means, but those who drive their convertible cars fast will crank up the volume when this song plays.
10.Nefsy A'oulhala, different style than the rest of the album it gives a different vibe, house music mix is now an obligatory track on every pop album. Not that fresh, the musician arrangement is a bit dated.
11.Tegheeb Tany, a pop song to love, great lyrics that rhyme and the music is rather good. One of the better song on the album, very Egyptian style, but thanks to the Kelany's energy it plays unlike any other.
