Nancy Zaablawi 2011 "Tears" Album

If you live in Lebanon, you can become a star quicker than if you live in Syria, if you life in Egypt you are much likely to become a star than if you lived in Syria. But Syria has a lot of great talent in that country, and those singers tend to relocate to Lebanon where the music business is in full swing.

While Syria is a great market for TV dramas where they produces dozens of quality shows, Syria has failed to make the same impact on Arabic music. Which brings us to Nancy Zaablwai, a talented young singer who has been singing professionally since 2008. But she has not released an album until 2011.

While I disagree with her politic on Syria, I have nothing but praises on her voice, style and the melodies she works with. Her new album titled "El Dommo3" Arabic for tears does not sound like a happy album, so you will be getting a lot of minor keys with her piano voice, that makes a treat.

01 - Saa'ba Aesh, we have heard this song earlier it was the single that lunched her career, pretty awesome
02 - Fe Balak, pop song written by a guy who thinks he knows how a girl feels.
03 - El Hekaya, a slow song with bitterness, this is not a song to die for, but the piano is terrific.
04 - ELDomo3, the album's gem, the darkest song, this is symphony of emotions! The sweet girl sings a soulful tender song.
05 - Ymkn Kelmt Ba7ebak, a self analytical song about someone who wronged their loved one and working to make amends. Love the crescendo appeal
06 - Bel Zema Da Asmo Kalam, a pop song written for Egypt and its people who love a non Egyptian singer singing in Egyptian. It's pretty good
07 - Lama Sa2lo A'laya, guy cheats, girl finds out, she hands him his butt in this song that sends you on a well deserved guilt trip
08 - La Gada'a, like the title, the guy cheats on Nancy and she does it again this time a lot sadder, a lot more heart broken!
09 - Khadna El Kalam, a timely pop song about twl lovers not realizing they have been talking for hours. Nancy gives a happy description of this encounter.
