Ziad Maher - Seebak Enta is STRANGE




When you spend a long time watching American and European music videos you cannot help but conclude that they are some weirdos out there. While many Arabic music videos can be decribed as lame, cheesy, silly or all of the above, not too many of them have been flat out weird.

This is about to change with Ziad Maher, a Lebanese singer that has collaborated with Jad Choury. While he has no album yet, he has few singles that he is hoping to incorporate in a new album he is working on. Seebak Inta, "Don't Bother With It" is the second cooperation between them after the song "Betgheeb", The song was writen by Egyptian poet Ehab Abdo, composed by Magdi Saad and musically arranged by Ahmed Abdul Salam.

Ziad had undergone intense physical exercises, as he wanted to appear to the public and fans in a new look, a shocking one indeed and might be actually scary. Nudity alone does not make me think this is a very random music video, but the atmosphere of the song feels foreign. Club with odd looking people grinding and doing indecent acts is not my idea of entertainment.

And by the way, what's up with the men urinal? At two different occasions you are given a view of the guy's zipper once he just took a leak. Where is the art in that? I really did not see that one coming from Walid Nassif who directed this music video--he must've needed the money really bad.
