The New Pop Album By @MousaOfficial Does It For Me!


Egyptian Mousa (Moses of Egypt) is a new voice in Egyptian pop and he seems like a hard working modest singer who is trying to find his spot under the sun. I respect young artists  who go the distance work hard on their first album with little help from the world.

The sweet and handsome dude goes to war in his music video when he refuses to take calls from his ex. He just shuts he rout and tells her he is no longer gonna be Mr. nice guy. The dude walked away from a relationship and he is not coming back.

In his music video Mousa plays a believable DJ. And there is a model, and a nice car. Surely this is a nice music video that presents itself differently. The good news Mousa sounds different. That means her is not mimicking other pop stars. He is doing his own thing. I am pleased to see him making his own path and being himself and it seems to work.

I like how Mousa plays out the character every Arab guy has on his mind, he is Mr. popular who have choices and the lady not so much. But aside from that, this album deserves a listen. It's actually decent pop album. There are some bright talents that have attached themselves to the album, it just needs a bit more of marketing.

Saudi Singer Ismail Mubarak @ismaeel_mubarak Charms The City of Cairo


Saudi singer Ismail Mubarak went to Cairo for a concert and it seems he was a huge hit over there too. Not too many Khaleeji artists feel they are famous in Egypt--frankly they do not have to be anymore goes to Cairo. Two decades ago, they would have been asked to go to Egypt and launch their career. But thanks to Satellite TV and the internet, they do not have to be anywhere in particular.

Though many singers form the Khaleej like to go to Cairo for concerts. Since droves of their fans live there--most would be natives to the Khaleej area. So a concert in Cairo is something cool to do. In this case Ismail Mubarak used the footage from his concert for his music video. I like this young artists and his warmth. He seems like a poet whose voice gives a needed hug.

I like the verse in the song "My love to you has no limits, there's no one but you, and I love you forever!" This must be nice to be on the receiving end of these beautiful crafted lyrics.

I like this song "Habibi" It's a sweet song that shows the depth of his fame and talent. Tons of his fans lined up to takes selfies with this charming singer. While many Arab artists dream of singing in Saudi, Ismail is doing the opposite he sins in Saudi but he also can have a sold out concert in Egypt. Ismaeel seems like a nice man who is fun to be in the same room with. There's an Iraqi singer who is a popular name in the Khaleej, I think Ismaeel has bested him with this song and this style.

Shame! Khaleejis Kill Yemenis And Sing For Them!



It's not secret that filthy rich Arabs in the UAE and Saudi Arabia are bombing Yemen to the dark ages. It's also a documented fact that many innocent Yemenis have perished as a result of this ill-fated war on that magical land that's Yemen.

Now one of the biggest artists in the Khaleej who comes from the UAE is Hussien Al Jassmi and he has a new song for the same country that his own government is bombing. Let's us not forget that dozens of good people from the UAE got killed in this war--because they suck as this war thing.

Hussain AlJassmi has also released a new song for the UAE government and army to offer them support as they wage war on the helpless people of Yemen. I have an idea for the UAE--Iran has been occupying your three islands for decades now, why not wage war on them? Or is it that Yemen is an easy target?

Hussain professes his love for Yemen and its people. But what he does not tell us is that his love means he would support them being bombed.

#Ya_Yumma" Brings Mohammed Assaf Back to #Palestine @MohammedAssaf89

It took Assaf three weeks to release a song for Palestine in light of the Israeli madness and policy of execution of young Palestinian men and women. Assaf is been busy lately promoting that movie that talks about his life in paces like London and Dubai.

He wore his Palestinian scarf, and got the song going. This is a song he had to make, he may found himself an unenviable position that people were expecting him to do something. He still got the voice, some remind me this might have been an old song that Assaf is covering. It mentions a number of Palestinian towns that have revolted against the occupation.

The team behind the song sound like talents from Gaza, Palestine. I am not inspired it but I am pleased Assaf has still time for Palestine. The footage used for the song show a number of things that celebrate life in Palestine and young men who still have the fire.

Then Assaf gives a talk toward the end of the song dedicating it to the people who matter. He names the city of Jerusalem and its people too. I like how his songs pays homage to mothers in Palestine as suggested in the title.

The Poor Millioner Pop Song Gets An Indie Makeover

Cairokee front man is giving a new lease on life for one once popular cult classic song. The song was originally by Medhat Saleh in the late 80s, it's about being happy despite being poor.  It was a cool song then and still relevant today. Medhat Saleh is still making great pop songs in addition to his live tarab performances.

The Egyptian has a new odd friend front man for Cairokee, Amer Eid who took it upon himself to do a cover for this classic and pay homage to this first-rate pioneer in pop songs. It's a fun and funny song that depicts the sense of humor many young people have where they are able to find joy despite not having the means.

This Hot Singer Goes To Mayrouba Festival

Nassif Zeytoun is the last iconic young singer who graduated from Star Academy and won the title. Now the charming Syrian vocalist is touring the world for his music tour. But before he hit the road, he stopped by a major music event in Lebanon where tourists and locals gather to enjoy wonderful music.

Nassif Zeytoun set the stage on fire and sang his heart out--too bad it was not life performance. The capable singer took his charm and fired up the attendees. He was not short on energy and the fans ate that up. This is a raw talent that has shown so much excitement.

See some highlights from the event and few of his signature songs. I think we are winner here to see a bright young artist who is doing all the right things and delivering solid songs frequently.

I Don't Care What He Says! Ramy Sabry Is The Next Amr Diab--New Song

Ramy Sabry is about to release a fresh pop album and I am honesty excited for it. Why? Ramy Sabry is a gifted composer, and a savvy singer, he picks winners and sounds so good. Here's one single form the album and it checks out all the box.

Ramy sounds here like himself but with fresher music and crispier lyrics. The sound arrangement shows thoughtful work. He may deny that he is the next Amr Diab, but when it comes to making top-notch songs, he has no rivals.

Ramy wrote the music for this song "Nefsaha Teshofni", a song about the emotional state and the mind games one in love has to endure. Do we go to the loved one or do we play it cool? Not the first song tackling this topic, but Ramy is one of the few ones who did it so well. It really reminds me of an Amr Diab song "We Heyah 'Amlah Eih Delwaqit

Four New Singls By Upbeat Zippies


There are countless of young artists who have been gifted a soothing voice. Out of those thousands, we only know about a 100. Which makes it unfair for all the bright talents out there who are vying for one's attention. So, let's try and check the new artists out and be nice. It's not easy to be a new comers nor is it cheap. Most of your favorite pop stars had to start somewhere.

Here are four new songs that comes in different styles and ranges. I bet you anything that you will find something that speaks to you here. Start with Mahmood Al Shafei and his song about the local grocery store. Swing by Abdullah Al Hmeem & Monia duet. Then give Mohammed Ghazi some time as he sings and keep on mind that he is also the music composer behind the song. And finish with the catchy titled song by Khalil Mustafa who just wants to forget and live.

The Voice Has Little Voice # MBCTheVoice


Mahmoud Abeidah started a bidding war on the Voice. The young singer did an impressive cover for an beloved Arabic song that sent the judges to fight with each other with hands. It seems that Sherine liked this guy first and wanted him to be on her team, but Assi Hillani wanted him as well but Sherine won't let him press that button.

Saber El Robaei also wanted him on his team, but still Sherine fought for him and won. Sherine added Mahoud to her lineup of artists despite all the interest from the other judges. Meanwhile, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Libya and Palestine are not doing well and losing young men and women every minute.

But Sherine was grateful, she thanked God for allowing her to get this talent on her side. He is a good singer with a nice voice. I am not sure what is his story, but he hails form Egypt and he does look like every other young Arab man and woman in the Arab streets. The song he did a cover for is a track form Fayza Ahmed's.

The Original Poor Man's Singer's Welcome Return @hakimmusicegypt


While most singers like to film their music videos in fancy resorts, and exotic locations, one Egyptian pop star and hit-maker begged to differ. Hakeem went deep inside one of those Egyptian slums and filmed his music video there. To his credit, these were the folks that embraced him as an artist first. They are the kind people who work hard and tend to be loyal.

Hakim wanted to highlight their plight and show the other side of Egypt, not necessarily to shame governments but to celebrate survival.

This is a song about the hard-working and resourceful people. It's worth mentioning that the director of this music video is the same director who directed Hakim in two other songs that we have come to love "Al Salmo Alykom" and "Habooso""

the song's title is "Aam Salama" or uncle Salam, a common name. Kicking off with an Egyptian Mawal then jumping into the pop song. Hakim is not letting ho of how he was once Egypt's top go to artists for songs that are close to the streets. The song is about life and how people change. Hakim is known for these songs. It's a sobering song about how people hurt each other.

Roni Kassar Is Crying Beautifully (Video)


Roni Kassar is a cool Lebanese dude, he is breathing Lebanon in his latest music video. Filmed at some posh villa in the foothills of Lebanon, a song where he is sad. Roni, you got a good thing going, no need to cry about it. You are young, good-looking, well-dressed, live in a giant mansion, and a gorgeous lady is in your life.

This is a good song for sure, Roni is plenty talented, his title for the song is about being stabbed with a dagger. AS if someone hit him with a knife in his back. While the images are so happy and the wedding party looks nice. The fire on curtains and dinner table are a nice touch. This is a well thought out music video, with some nice affects and gripping images.

I guess the love of his life is cheating on him with a fat bald guy....so women do not do that unless Roni you got a problem you are not telling us about.

Godsend Waleed Al Shami Finds The Sweet Spot


Waleed Shami has found the sweet spot. He is an Iraqi hit-maker living in the Gulf, so he has to be nice to the locals. But he is so gifted so, he is certainly welcome over there. Though he is better known for his catchy dance songs, he has a sweet side. I think he is trying to be the man for all seasons. A bit of Majid Al Mohandis too--they arte both from Iraq.

Here's he song about how deep in his knees he is with that new love. Waleed has really occupied all the top spots in music charts, and he has done well for himself and for the artists he works with. He has many things right for him--one is his pronunciation. His sleek look, and incredible hair styles, his warmth but nothing compares to his fine music talent.

The locals love him and the Iraqis cannot escape him. He is certainly a trend-sitter.

Fast Food Tour In Dubai With Khaled AlRashed (And A Song!)


Khaled AlRashed seems like a cool dude who like to have a good time. And he is sharing with his fans a recent trip he just took to the UAE city of Dubai. The young singer, rode in the business class and started his trip with a brand coffee, then went out to a number of fast and casual food diners.

Dubai is filled with so many places like these, and the young vocalists seem to have done a number of tourist things around the rich emirate. And manged to hold his phone camera and document all the cool things he has done it. Khaled seems like a neat artist who takes good care of himself and grooming.

He did even go for frozen yogurt. Then he showed us some cool things around that crazy place known as Dubai....it seems he likes hamburgers....too bad! Was he using a selfie stick? Probably yes! This is is a lifestyle song about having it one's way. The singer flew in form Dubai for a day and he went back. Man he makes me hungry.

Here are four new songs but five different new artists from around the Arab world. the styles and dialects range, but there should be some excitement in the air for all the new comers who are working hard and doing their best for one's entertainment. You will hear voices from Khaleej, Morocco and beyond fighting for your attention.

So, let's take a quick tour and appreciate the fine voices and emotions to be found in these songs. Start off with that hit duet by Ibtissam Tiskat and TwoTone, swing by the emotionally complex track by Salwa Omar, then take a quick break by hearing Layla Iskandar sounding like a Latin dance track and finish your tour by slowing down with Sultan AlRashed who is glowing happiness in his latest fun track.

Mohamad Iskandar - El Aalam Jannit The Arab Selfie Craze


Lebanese pop star Mohamad Iskandar continues to make fun songs about relevant topics--lyrics are often written by his song Fares. This time he took on the selfie craze around the world. He is a wise man, who makes any song about love.

He is not short of passion and upbeat. He talks about a number of matters, but he seems to set his sight on the female population. This is the new technology, phones, snapping pictures and caring less about the world and more about oneself.

This song is sort of been a popular summer hit--this summer was too short due to the toxic conditions in many Arab countries, and Ramadan.....but people want to party and Mohamad Iskandar has never left them down. Every summer he releases a song that brings him once again tot he front lines.

Young Khaleeji Singers Abdul Aziz Luies vs. Mohamed Al Shehhi



Not every young artist who want to sing gets a record deal. Not even in the rich countries in the Khaleej. There are way too many young stars (some of them are bright) But there are also the young stars who do not want to work in music. they may just want one song and get famous or do that song and then step back.

I found two artist from the Khaleej who are making good pop music and I like their voices. The first is Abdul Aziz Luies and the later is Mohamed AlShehhi. Different styles and different stories, just same entertainment value. The first song is about being sweet and in love, the other is about dancing to the lyrics of cat and mouse songs.

"I Think Like A Westerner" Song By Tarek Issa


Here's is a young pop star who has an upbeat song about going made for his loved one. He is sweet and he starts his song with kisses and touches. Tarek Issa has no problem oversharing with his listeners. I like the beat and the music. Tarek sounds pretty good.

He has fallen in love with his home girl--he pledges to stay in love with her. As if Tarek has women from all over the world falling in love with him. As a dance song, I can see folks doing the Debka to his tunes. He also likes the Eastern ways of doing business. Yet the title of the song, I think like Western!

Tarek sounds like an expat but sings like one of these guys who have never been outside of his family's home.

The Sweet Salah AlZadjali Knocks Another One Out Of The Park #GHANNIET


Oman's most famous musician/singer Salah AlZadjali is back with a different kind of hit. A song so sweet and a music video so innocent that it's almost criminal not to watch. A cute story is hard to capture on video without coming across as a cliche. Salah and his team brought their song to live, told a good story and gave us an entertaining music video that feels authentic.

It feels like a music video made by friends and not models and crews. Salah cranks a hit about every two years. This time he goes with the romantic type. His first hit was everywhere four years ago, two years later he had a song that was dramatic. Now comes a song that mixes romance with a hint of drama.

Salah really looks lie a nice guy who finishes last. His music video captures him in real life being in love but awkward. It's sweet dream song that shows him falling in love with the girl next door. Salah puts on his acting face and plays the part well. He also sports a number of looks that make him cool. The music video shoes how in love timing matters. Salah gets caught in that cycle and the appearance of things can be tricky. He is singing because he could not channel his emotions using an other medium of communication.

Rotana Picks Iraqi Musician Anwar Dragh--He is Good!


Rotana is releasing a new music video for Anwar Dragh, a song about pomegranates. It's a nice colorful music video where nature takes center stage. This feels like a vintage song made best for Debka Dance--it sounds like something you would hear in Iraq, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. It's a nice dance song with vintage lyrics.

The singer is Anwar Daragh who is a composer that started to sing. And gladly he did a good job, his voice is pretty authentic and glad that Rotana picked him and released his album. He is a really good guy as I was told by a fellow Iraqi musician.

This song reminds of the pop songs that we used to get decades ago, they are not trying too hard and it sounds like an intimate song with little noise. Even the music video is relaxing.

Rabeh Sager Celebrates All The Saudi Freedoms!


Rabeh Sager is a proud Saudi who made time to record a new love song for his home. I respect that. He loves his home and he enjoys its wealth and riches--unlike many non Saudi stars who do such songs for a paycheck. Rabeh is fitly rich so he does not do things for money. He is one of these authentic Saudi voices, really in an other country his style won't fly. But in Saudi and the Khaleej he is king.

It's Saudi national day and there is celebration all over the land and it's Hajj season and Eid, so there are many happy occasions to commemorate. Rabeh had a good year in 2015, which saw the release of his much anticipated album of more than 20 tracks. It was his first in more than a decade.
