Before he was too cool for music video, before he was a big name and before he has decided to only sing and not make music videos, the Saudi Arabian singer Rashid Al Majed rocked the world of Arabic music videos and pop. He made it cool to listen and to dance to music from the Gulf, something usual for music that was distinct.
His last mainstream smashing hit was in 2012, all Arabs loved it and it was lampooned so many times. But after that he was no longer trying to be cool or using female models in his music videos. It's like he wanted to be a dignified singer among the pious of his country. He still makes music, some of them are really cool. But they tend to be heavier than your average pop. He sings poems and seems to keep way from the media. He has shifted into music production and has his own label. He is also a car collector.
Well, I am not ready to let go of this cool dude. Here are some of his under rated and some of his overlooked music videos he has made in his cool phase. He blended romance and pop without looking weak or pathetic. His melodies hold their own compared to what we hear now.
