Please purchase this album and ditch the internet downloads. This is an amazing album with thousands of hours going into its making. Hamza Namira is a man for all seasons, he is the musician for all of Egypt.What I mean by that is that he sings for those who have hope for a better and a more free tomorrow. His hope for tomorrow got him banned in Egypt by the state. See the current state of Egypt is too weak to withstand his art and his music, so they banned him.

This is an album about listening and the title asks of you to listen to the artist, give him a chance to inspire you and show you the creative process. He recorded in between Egypt, Turkey, Sweden and London with many musicians who like what they do. He takes his music seriously and it shows in each og the 12 tracks. You get to live a different experience. Hamza wrote the music for 11 of the 12 tracks. This is both wonderful and smart because the music had two years to brew. It's not an album where the artist recorded in a month. That prevents running into making the same music or running out of ideas.    
It took Hamza and his team two years to bring this album to the light and it was worth the wait. He is a guy who is a musician by practice, he feels for a lot of things and likes to give those things the musical treatment. I liked his last album which saw the light in 2012--it was refreshing to hear music unlike any other they make in the Arab world. Even those who may disagree with Hamza, they still appreciate his talent.

I also like the album cover it allows people to look at different ways to unlock their potential and open their minds. Most of the lyrics have been composed by one person Mahmoud Farouk and that may have been risky, but it worked here well. As for the production and mastering, Hamza put his touch as well. I am grateful for Awakening Records from London for their full backing of Hamza any other like-minded artists. This shows, you do not need to have fancy pants to make a change in people's life, you just need to be driven from the inside and have a sense of ownership.

I hardly can wait to listen to each of the tracks and play them over and over again. I look forward to seeing the artist perform these songs in the United States, but I also pray to see him do the same thing in Cairo. I know the sad events in past year and half that developed in Egypt have helped the writing process. Nothing like the sense of being wronged that gets the venting process running.
