Shatha Hassoun, the half Iraqi/half Moroccan star is embraced by pretty much everyone in the music business. She has been a star for about 4 years now and she has used those 4 years well. Any song she touches, it becomes an instant hit. She sang in many Arabic dialects and she shined in all of those dialectic and on top of that the critics rejoiced. She has also embraced controversy in one successful music video she was in love/hate an American solider in Iraq. Shatha has had a number of feuds with other stars such as charismatic and dance maniac Meryam Farris.
But yesterday the starlett came out with a Gulf dialect music video, the music video is funny and entertaining, but not sure about the lyrics. Alsa'ah or the clock has a surreal feel to it as you see Shatha in a mental asylum and that is being made fun.
Maybe that I only like Gulf dialect songs when they have deep meanings, but I found it hard for me to fall in love with mediocre Gulf songs.
See what happens when a big raising star that enjoys the popularity of the stars who have been around for decades tries to enter a new market. I do like the creative forces behind Shatha's success as she always impressed her fans and keep her enemies busy. At least you will enjoy the dance moves of Shatta.
