Karim Mohsen is Not a Lightweight



After making an effort to review Karim Mohsen's debut album, I was a skeptic at first as I felt this album came as a result of Karim's connections to the music world, not necessary his talent...I was wrong.


01. Ehsasy, club mix, nice to hear in the car or at the gym, still gum flavor lyrics.
02. No.1, strange title, but it makes you want to dance, girls & dudes will love it. A Winner
03. Fakerha Sayba, The simple lyrics and energy Karim exhibits make this song good
04. Helm El Senen, softer side of Karim, the cure for the woe'd sensitive guy, lady magnet
05. Kol El Kalam, happy lyrics for the lover who changes his mind and makes nice
06. Leya Kelma, lovely account of man with a broken heart yet have to move on
07. Kolo Ella Enaik, it sounds like a video game, a high school muscial, an really old James Brown song. A Love song with some jazz elements, props to the music.
08. Bethilfily, catchy melody, when a lover discovers he has been living a lie. I do not like the hollier than though tone, no guy is that innocent and no girl is that deceptive.
09. Kan Zaman, the guitar is a plus, lyrics helps show strengths of Karim's voice.
10. Ala Baly W Nasiny, the one dance song on the album, sweet words still but upbeat
11. Yama Alby Estanak, funky music, good beat, good musical arrangement, a treat
12. Mabnsash, the gem of the album ft. Tamer Hosny, emotional song for those who wish they can change the past and re-live the good old days.

I think there should be a bit more strong musical arrangement, the dance type...I found that type of music missing, I also think Karim can still challenge himself and sing higher notes. Basically, I think he kept on using one consistent voice in the entire album. For a pop album is is really good and since Kareem Mohsen has somewhat of a cult following among the young fans and the ladies, we can say, we will be getting a second album.
