Abdullah El-Rowaishid, The Dreamy Album

The Kuwaiti answer to Iraqi composer/singer Kathim Al Saher is this popular and charismatic singer Abdullah El-Rowaishid, a singer, a composer and a lute player. He is the alpha dog of Kuwaiti music and the face of what's hip in Gulf music for at least two decades and the singer is not slowing down.

His latest album--he has more than a dozen albums to his name is Gulf album with varying colors and some inventive music has been released last week by Rotana. This album will sell for sure due to the name recognition and the Gulf's interest in Abdullah El-Rowaishid's music.

Cheesy Titled "You Are a Dream", 13 tracks make the case why Abdullah El-Rowaishid is a one man show with his great vocals, sad voice and ability to sing and not running out of breath are the kind of attributes you want your singer to have.

10 - Akhad Galby, a happy, upbeat song about games lovers play
11 - Leyaley El-khoof, this does not sound like a Gulf song, meant for other Arabs
