Hossam El Haj 2012 Album In Search of Joy

The bittersweet album lands! The voice of Hossam El Haj does not stand out per se, but those who know him, love his songs. His songs always speak to women--try the second track about the white dress! Seriously, Arab men would make the world's best gay men.

His third track is about wearing the Hijab, the Muslim veil. Some have already attacked him for this song. I feel spirituality is to be found all over this track--even on the 4, 5 track you cannot miss it. There's a song for mothers too--track 6.

Hossam's nationality cannot be seen through his music, he sounds like an Egyptian, but acts and dress like a Shami. I do not really connect with Hossam, but I can understand why certain people like him.
