Belqees' DJ Song Confirms "She Is The Coolest And The Funniest Rock Star" @BalqeesFathi


Balqees made so many awesome music video where she has shown her great sense of humor. Although she is a gorgeous lady, she goes for the nerdy and funny chick. It ain't easy to be a fun female pop artist in the Gulf.

This Yemeni rock star seems to have a lot of fun on set and she invites others to have a blast. This is why her songs always land well and bring out the party. Watch this zany music video with so many styles, colors, cultural iconography...and beyond. This is pop art at its finest. It's tough to be a pop star in the Gulf and to maintain the cool label. Fayez Al Said (he composed this song) did it and now comes Balqees whose stocks are only going up.

If you will notice, she wears two different soccer uniforms--both for rival Saudi teams. And half a dozen Khaleeji artists appear in the music video.

Belqees sports so many looks and the music video moves so fast....I find it interesting for the artist to wear the conservative all black outfit (I know some will be offended) I like her soccer uniform and how she seems to follow this game religiously. This is a party song as the title suggests.....I love how much energy she brings out, all these things must have made it hard for the director to keep track. But it seems Balqees played along and it paid off.

I do not know many pop stars who can pull off this self-deprecating humor (can you imagine Elissa?) Just look at the eye affects toward the end of the song. She is many things, spunky for sure, exciting, check! Fresh....always! Not only does she has a cool voice and a huge social media profile, but her acting chops put seasoned actors to shame.

The album will be released in few days and it's already breaking records in the iTunes universe.

"Holy" Muslim Celebrity Mashari Alafasy Wants To kill Other Muslims!

Kuwait national Mashari Alafasy made a big name form himself around the world by reciting the Koran and singing Muslim themes songs. He is a huge hit and a big name among many Muslims around the globe--he has a sweet voice that makes it hard to stop listening to whatever he is saying.

But the Koran reader and religious figure is not taking a political role. e released a new song for the Kuwait army where he dresses like a tough guy who wants to go to war. Sure, go to war against the people who occupy your country, but not against your Arab/Muslim brethren in Yemen.  Has he not learned anything from the book that he makes a living reading?

I do not think it's appropriate for Mashari Alafasy to be doing these kinds of songs. It's a propaganda song....where was the army he now sings for when Saddam took over the country in less than 15 minutes. I do not like it when guys act tough and dress like army. A uniform won't make you tough, but your actions do.

It's disgusting to see him celebrate warm and the murder of so many folks. The song is meant to sing for the entire Gulf block, meant against Iran...really? I hear the Iranian troops are running scared from this song by Mashari Alafasy. He says the army is serving Arabs and Muslims? seriously, and the people of Palestine not Arab and Muslims? where were your lovely army dipshit?

I want noting by the well-bring of everyone involved, but the Sunni people cannot restore to killing other Muslims to win an unwinnable war that serves the interests of their collective enemies. Sorry Mashari Alafasy, this song will go down as a dark spot on your record.

#Comeback Download: Loai New 2015 Album البوم لؤى - عايشها


It might be too soon to start writing the obituary for the once dazzling career of Egyptian pop star Loai. Loai had had trouble with at least two music production companies. It took him 8 years to release a follow up album. While his first album was an amazing success story, it has ten tracks and each of them did very well. His second album was a big "meh"....this is the third album and it's ready for you.

There's another album that's being held back from being released by the artist and the production company that paid for it. Luckily, Loai found a major company to produce this album and they are pushing people to tune in. Marketing helps, but it's a lot easier if you have a solid album. So far, I heard five songs and I am only really excited about one of them.

At least we know of one leading music site from Egypt who calls this album as Loai's last chance to be a mainstream artist and not a has been, They are saying Khalid Eiz is missing form this album. Eiz, is a music producer who knows how to make hits for a host of artists. Lacking this collaboration can be risky....so let's give it time and wish Loai well. There are ten tracks in the album and I am certain radios and online views will pile in.
