Karim Mohsen's "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word"



Egyptian pop star and composer Karim Mohsen has been making catchy music for about three years. However, he has made catchy music before but he was behind the scenes. But once, he has launched his album more than two years ago he has bee on fire. Karim is popular with concerts as college kids demand his presence.

He is a stylish pop star with a rock star demeanor. I am a big fan of his songs, I think I would say I have liked 9 out of every 10 songs he recorded. Now, it seems that Karim wants to do something he has not done before. He wants to sing in English. That does two things, one maybe earn him some fans outside Arabia, two earn him some fans in Arabia who think they are too cool to listen to Arabic music.

This is a risky approach, few if any Arabs have succeeded in doing it. Let me tell you, the cover is pretty decent, Karim sounds like he hails from Chicago. He has done a fine job with the accent and the performance. Sure, to some this might be a really good karaoke rendition, still this is has to be a really good start.
