"Layalina" 2012, The Album No One Asked For

The marketing monkeys at Rotana met with the department of packing old crap no body cares about and together they put forth an album that offers nothing new and nobody seems to have noticed it. The singers come from Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Iraq and they sing in different dialects.

 In this day and age, you cannot get away with releasing an album with 6 tracks of no original material and no theme. What does Elissa have to do with Majid Al Mohandis and Rashid Al Majid? and what does Carol Samah have to do with Abdel Majid Abdallah?

1.  اليسا - جوايا ليك Elissa Gowa Ya Leek
2. راشد الماجد - سلام عليهم Rashid Al Majid Salam Alyhom
3. عبدالمجيد عبدالله - مااذكر متى Abdel Majid Abdallah
4. فضل شاكر/ يارا - خذني معك Fadel Shaker and Yara Kedny Ma'ak
5. كارول سماحه / مروان خوري - يارب Carol Samaha and Marwan Khoury Ya Rab
6. ماجد المهندس - فرصه مجنونه Majid Al Mohandis Forsah Majnoonah

These are all talented entertainers with different fans and different strength points. But unlike previous albums, that Rotana did there was a clear theme...romantic songs, sad ones, Lebanese ones....etc. If this album sells 5 thousand copies, Rotana should do a victory dance.  

راشد الماجد ...سلام عليهم
