Talal Salamih, So Long



01 - El 7ob o El Ghera, the men and women of the Gulf will be dancing to this track. It has the same formula, the Gulf dance beat and the confused soul lyrics about the jealousy of lover and those caught in its web.
02 - 7abiby Sara2ny, a duet will be embraced by the fans who are looking for something new, bold and upbeat.
03 - Akhaf Qalby, it's like having a conversation with yourself and making that public, again the tune is very Gulf inspired style, the instrumental version is as good.
04 - Asta2zenak, love the first minute of the song, some original music here, I love Talal's vocals here, his voice seems comfortable here and you can hear his confidence, two thumps up for doing a pop song with potential for mass appeal.
05 - Ya Gabin El Shams, the best titled song, again, a song made for the heavy listeners of Gulf music, like it was meant to be. Anything that mentions the song has to be excellent, this one is not quite there for me at least.
06 - La Tabtaliny, a serving of wisdom served on a plate of revenge. The music is not the greatest, a bit outdated, the lyrics are poetic as you would expect from an old school lyrics.
07 - Entaha 3ahd El Ma7aba, when love is over and hope fades, then some find comfort in music, others hit the bottle. The beat might be a bit more upbeat for a dramatic song, Talal Salamih voice sounds a bit tired and the music gets old.
08 - Teteheminy Bel Kheyana, I do not like this one, but I was never big on Tarab music and Jalasat, this will sit well with those who like the lute and other traditional style music.
09 - 7ob Qasir, a revisit to some of Talal's earlier and more popular work, great prelude music. Not the greatest vocals for the causal Talal listener.
10 - El Faragh, starts like a pop song, turns into Rock, then ends with the blues about breakups and distance that drives lovers apart. Talal sounds like the helpless romantic he is.
11 - Seme3t, a bit dark, a bit lonely, all around sad song, maybe it's better enjoyed by the older person who has little success in life and little love to show for. Maybe the purpose is to give a bit for every listener.
12 - Man 3alamak, OK, the music is pleasant, and the beat keeps it interesting so you would want to hear the song till the end. I like the delivery here, I see the passion and the bitterness of life.
13 - Geet A3atebha, the mellow listener friendly song, very touching tale of the mental workout of should I approach her or should I not? Talal crfted a good song here that reveals a mental experience almost all of us had.
14 - Allah Aqwa, what do you do when you are in a never ending desert alone at night, you plea to God which what you do when you are in love. The Chorus is saves the song form being dull.
