Nabil Shuail, The Gulf's Finest One Hit Wonder


speaking of enchanting poetry, tune in to Golf Nightingale or as yo know him Nabil Shuail, the chunky singer form Kuwait. Nabil was the first face of Gulf music that made it big in the Arab mainstream. He was carried to every Arab home with the satellite wave that stroke in the 90s. He has one of the finest sense of humors in the biz and it shows in his interviews and various appearances.

His bit hit was Ma Ar'wak "How Wonderful You Are", a light pop song that plays like a poem whee the singer is telling his other half how much in love he is with such a wonderful soul. The song came in the late 90s and it was the romantic song of its time, Arabs were blown away with this new star. To his credit, he has had dozens of other songs prior to that one--I know this because I grew up in the Gulf with his music.

Nabil enjoyed a great deal of fame, but none of his songs has manged to outgrow that one hit of his. Nabil has not been very active--his last album was in 2009. One thing I like about Nabil is his music videos, he does not fall in love, he hires other models to tell a love story where Nabil only provides the audio track of his magical and poetic words.

Enjoy Nabil's most famous song to date
