DOWNLOAD: Wael Jassar New 2013 Album البوم وائل جسار - سنين قدام

The cooler that ice romance hit-maker, the man of the blues Wael Jassar has a new album out, and it has nine tracks. This is the album from this gifted Lebanese hit-maker whose fan base are far reaching. He is not the me, me star, but rather the kind that makes good music and come across as a down to earth guy.

He is also a coveted guest for TV shows and concerts, he is a big name that comes with little dram, virtually no gossips and no haters either. His formula is truly impressive, not too many entertainers can do it, but Wael has manged to capture the spotlight without trying too hard, and without stepping on his family.

While his songs tend to be sad and riven from the heart, some of his songs are about more about life and people. romance can be painful sometimes. He does have a song that orders the listener to be happy, so that's a start. He chose the Egyptian song for that track, and it's unlike something he made in the past. el, ths might be the first dance song from the man of blues himself.

He switches from Lebanese to Egyptian dialects and styles and no one notices the difference. Another great thing about him, the people who record music with him, seem to give him something interesting as you are never bored with any of the songs.

Ramy Ayach Revisits The Romantic Past رامي عياش - يا ريت بترضي ياريت

Rabee' Alkoholi quit the show business, but he has never stopped singing, now he sings at his church where he is a priest. Rabee was the golden boy of pop romance in the 1980s and he was wroth his weight gold. Then all of a sudden he wanted to do something more. He cold the music business cold and joined a perish.

Many of Rabee's friends continue to visit with him at the church where he serves. Among them pop star Ramy Ayach who credits Rabee for helping him through some personal struggle. But now during his new year concert on LBC1 Ramy Ayach performed one of the most beloved classics by Rabee.

Ramy dedicated the song to his new fiance and the net took the song and ran with it. It's hard to come close to the original song, but Ramy has given it his best shot. Yarait Ebterdhi Yarait, I hope she would say yes! is how the song would be titled in English. a romantic song with a dreamy melody, I grew up listening to it. I think one of the reasons Ramy Ayach started his career because he had that shade of romance, very similar to those songs by Rabee.

This is a throwback to one of the most beloved love songs, a guy can perfrom.

WATCH: Official Music Video "Eyyam" Warda AL Jazayria - HD / وردة الجزائرية - إيام

A team of Algerian talents, and family members of the late Algerian icon Warda got together to bring out her last song, this was never released before. And to be true to the song, this had to be a very fine production worthy of the late diva. The song and the music video were released in the first anniversary of her departure. Her son and his sister took over the project and they seem very protective of their mother and her legacy.

The song is about the days, and the pain one sees. The song is about do overs and second chances. Had we knew our ends, we would not have been mad with people. Thins would have been eased and fixed among family and friends. A good song with incredible lyrics.

The surprise was the use of the animation and in reverse footage about the time. I love the affects and the fine blending between the real and the virtual stories. Well done folks, they have made a song that makes one wants to watch and learn. The music video shows family members caught in fights and Pickering not realizing that all of us have numbed days here. .The Algerian flag flies high and the so many stories told deliver an emotional experience. Not to forget the epic war scene and the transition.

The director came from a background with cinema as he is a movie maker who felt honored to be in charge of this project. Aside from that, the acting and the talents accept nothing but their finest performance--even the little girl. Algeria is making a big step in honoring one of its one of the better known icons. There are moments where it's not a shame to tear up as you watch the stories unfold.

This song closes one of the proudest chapters in the Arabic song! It's the chapter where the fireworks fly high into the sky and never leave.

WATCH: Najwa Karam - Ykhalili Albak Clip BEST Music Video / نجوى كرم - كليب يخليلي قلبك

The number one Lebanese diva who counts among her fan base, the young and old. the home boy and the pretty boy, the guy and the gal, Najwa Karam has a new music video out and no surprise she looks at her finest. And the music video follows a sold out concert in Morocco's largest music festival.

You cannot really overlook her fashion and her style, she always knows how to rock the boat and her outfits are often classy and stunning at the same time. She is the diva Lebanon loves so much, yet she does not get up on one's face about her stature. A great comeback music video that will cheer up her fan base.

This is a love song where passion and innocent love meet, I love some of the sets in the music video, they have so much colors and go well with her red dress. Najwa is one of those pop stars whom the camera fears not the other way around. Did you see that white dress and gorgeous makeup work she sports? Not to skip the fun dances that keep the music video energizing.

And at the end, she lives up to her name, the sun of the Arabic song. I think this is the best work I have seen for Lebanese director Fadi Haddad who has hits and misses.

Download: Adel Mokhtar New Album البوم عادل المختار - الافندى

The Arabic word Mokhtar is means the chosen one, and Adel has that as his last name. When it comes to Iraqi pop he is OK, but when it comes to be part of the biggest Arabic music production companies he is the one. Rotana signed Adel and pushed him toward the Gulf market.

Iraqi pop has been making a big splash in the past five years--thanks to friendly audience and big music studios based in Dubai. So, they keep bring out their stars and the Khalij enjoys the similar yet exotic musical taste Iraqis have developed.

Iraqi blues is what I like, Iraqi dance songs is what most seem to appreciate. Adel Mokhtar is bringing it all together on his 9 tracks album whish has just been released.

LISTEN: "The Voice" Mourad Bouriki--Ya Sayidaty -{Classy }- مراد بوريقى - يا سيدتى

There are few Arab male singers who are good at serenading a woman and making her feel a like a million dollar by making other women feel jealous as we celebrate that given women. The Iraqi singer Kathem has done well in this style and so has his country man Majid Al Mohandis. There are other names who are lesser known but they do well in serenading a women they love.

Now, there's a new kid on the block who can make a women feel like a princess with a place he made out of his heart. I am speaking of the Moroccan winner of the the Voice--first season. Mourad Bouriki who is starting his career just this year. The guy has a classy voice like the ones they are good at in Damascus. He is the very old school, the real Arabic music prior to the invention of those modem music instruments and technologies. The song reads like a love poem from a very ancient (yet lovely) time. 

A great choice for this skillful artist who has the friendship and talent of a half a dozen artists combined in one. He shows a great deal of class and grace as he lets the song and its lyrics lead him--he does not get in the way.  By the way Morocco also one the X Factor with their unique talent Mohamed Al Rifiy.

WATCH: Cyrine Abdel Nour - Habaybi {HOT}/ سيرين عبد النور - حبايبي

The Lebanese entertainer with the most perfect face, the cross talented actress, songstress and so much more Cyrine Abdel Nour is out with her new music video for the song that released few months ago about the loved on in her life. It's a happy song about those who make our life worth living.

The drama is present in the music video and the fancy shots make it a fairy-tale not your average music video. Cyrine brings out her good looks, energy and best positive outlook in life to make this song stand out--she really has not made a new song in years, so it makes since for the artist to go out for this song that hit it big.

I do not know where they filmed it--but my guess somewhere on the Mediterranean. The styles and fashion for the artist is another testament to her  high class taste.

What's Your Favorite Song By Elissa?

I have taken a car ride for thirteen hours and so I was able to listen to a lot of great songs--Roa likes the Lebanese happy songs with a hint of sadness I like most songs, until they start to shout or the music gets too noisy. Some nice and soft songs work well fro the road, but then sometimes you need something that keeps you alert and not put your eyes or your mind to sleep.

But among the song selection I planed, was one particular song by Elissa that stood out to me. It might be the right moment or the sitting, but I felt the song was one of her finer choices where one can see she makes you believe the lyrics and the emotions she invokes. She has made scores of good songs, some of them get weaker with time, others only sound better with time.

You might not even be a fan of hers, but surely, she has one song that speaks to you.

So, the song is below and before it a piece of poetry and then the song comes--Law Baseet Odamak---I'm Right In Front Of Your Eyes. I found the song to be very real and the poetry right before it kicks in, sets the mood. What do you think of this song and what other worthy songs of her that you like? Please share.

O Mohammad Operetta أوبريت هذا محمد

Light operas are meant to be huge, they are often used in Arabic to describe a song where at least three vocalists sing together. There are many of them and artists usually donate their fees to make such a huge productions possible. Arab entertainers record them, when there is something going wrong, war on Iraq/Palestine/Lebanon/Syria or somewhere else they care about.

They have also made them for religious reasons, like the one you will see below, a song in defense of prophet Muhammad. Those are the voices of some big names in the Gulf area, like Mohammad Abdu, Hussien Al Jassimi, Fayez Al Said as well as others. A large number of Munshdeen Capella singers who sing religious songs have helped with the project. The music belongs to Fayez Al Said.  

The music is kept to minimal, in order to draw in the more orthodox Muslims. It's a poem that sing praises to the Prophet peace be upon him. It reads like a poem. This is not a new song, it was recorded on February of 2012. The production is for the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

I think the song wanted to be made quickly, so no other Arab singers were invited to record along side the Khaliji artists. It tells some of the highlights in the prophet's life, his struggle and his message.

The New Year Song By The Legendary Mohamed Abdu محمد عبده العام الجديد

A real princess wrote this song for the most respected Saudi star. Mohammed Abdu is the artist of all Arabs, he has been making music for four decades and each time he sings he tells a great love story unlike no other. The UAE native poet and Sheikha Fatima Bint Rashid Bint Said Al Maktoom (commonly known as Ghayahib الشيخه فاطمة بنت راشد ال مكتوم غياهيب) wrote a poem for the Saudi legend.

Their song is about the new year and it sounds like something we have heard before. Ghayahib has given other songs for Abdu before, as well as Abdel Majid Abdallah, Rashid Al Majid, Mansour Zayed, Hussein Al Jassmi as well as others.

A song about what to come this year, as time passes love either grows or dies. The song shuts up all those people who have said Abdu is quitting or not feeling up to new songs. His song is about loyalty and commitment. I have always been a loyal fan of Abdu's he sings his heart out and connects with his listeners in a unique fashion.

A Happy New Year Song For Arabs By Dolly Shahine

The Lebanese Brazilian pop songstress Dolly Shahine is about to usher in a new year. To ring in the year, Dolly Shahine has released a fun song for this occasion. I am impressed by the new single and Dolly sounds at her best in a really long time. She was made a star to do these kind of songs and she has delivered a song that will be around for some time.

I love the Arabic lyrics  not so much the English part, but I am certain Arabs who speak English will be heads over heels for it. She is wishing change to come, people to fall in love once again. Just have a little bit of fun and forget all the pain.I like the portion about her wish to see people breaking their fear from one another.

The Happy New Year as the song has been titled is rightfully.
دوللي شاهين- سنة سعيدة

LISTEN: سمبل رامى صبرى - برتاح | Ramy Sabry - Bartah Simpl

The composer who has become a rockstar is coming back with a new album of seven tracks. Ramy Sabry was on my mind as the next Amr Diab...he was Mr. cool going on Mr. Emotions, his fifth album will release this summer--it has been delayed a number of times. But the teaser and samples are out.

Mazzika is pushing this album for good reasons, Ramy's albums are well made and well produced. They are never rushed and always bring me joy and high qaulity entertainment, real lyrcis rom the heart--nothing silly and upbeat fresh music that pleases the soul

Download: DJ Black Shadow Remix Volume 1 Album

DJs are a dime a dozen, good ones are really hard to find....every DJ thinks heis great at what they do, but only one guy stands out among them all, I have come to know him DJ Black Shadow, he makes mixes of songs that you wouldn't come togehter. He has his way of blending English and Arabic songs in such a fun way.


I appreciate his talent and his touches to songs that may be overlooked had he not used the remixing skills to bring out attention to them.


I do not listen to Western songs often--the ones I mange to escape anyway, but here is a sampling of Arabic and English pop songs from Akon, Niki Minaj and Pitbull. The surprise is his work on Nawal's song. She is a big talent but her songs lack the cool factor this way they are such.

The Arab Idol Trio's New Classy Hit Song #كارمن سليمان , #دنيا_بطمة, #يوسف_عرفات - عظمة على عظمة

They are talented, and they are young. They won Arab Idol, and their names are Yousef Arfat, Dounya Batema, Carmin Suliman and they want to give us a history lesson on Arabic music and the figures who made it the thing we love--or hate.

They have a pan Arab list of names most Arabs know and resepct. This song has been in the works for close to six months, but it released few days ago. It has a fun feel, the young folks will love seing their celebrties, but the older ones will like the walking down the memory lane.

It's nice to see the three young artists come together for this song, I am certain the producers at MBC's music arm paid some serious cash toproduce this song and it has already been showered with Youtube love.

Ali El Haggar Remains Egypt' Most Real Singer

He may as well be the Morgan Freeman of Egyptian entertainment. His voice has been telling the Egyptian narrative for more than three decades. He breaths Egypt and has pretty much performed in every venue in that country. He has ruled the radio airwaves, the cassette market and then the movie soundtracks and dozens of highly rated TV dramas.

It seems Ali is ready for more music as he has been signed by Pyramedia to produce music for him. His son is also signed for the same label for a music project as well.I know this when it comes to a mannly voice with a strong vocal showing, Ali is the name to come up.

See his song below where he does a romantic song with an incredible warmth and an Egyptian beat. El Haggar may have never been a bankable name but he has two things most two stars dream of. He has the respect for the audience and the businesses. And he has the name recognition that crosses age groups and countries.

Bollywood Mega Star Shahrukh Khan Meets His Arab Fans

Bollywood king Shah Rukh Khan visited Dubai one more time for the film festival this time. He does own a house in that city where thousands of Indians live and work. He is India's leading bankable star whose name is as good in America and it's at home. He dances, he romances and when needed he blows stuff up.

At his press conference he spoke about arrogance of love. Dubai celebrated Indian cinema for a 100 year of magic, for that event dozens of filmmakers and starts from India showered the city with their love. He is a Muslim whose wife is Hindu and somehow they find a way to raise their children with love and respect for both faiths. He makes more movies than other mega star anywhere in the world. I would say he shoots at least four films a year or so it seems.

"I love Shahrukh Khan from the bottom of my heart," said the Dubai socialite Meena Ramchandani. "My friend called me and said she had a spare ticket so I rushed here in 15 minutes.

"I wanted to get a blow-dry but I thought forget it. I just have to get here and see him."

Dressed casually in jeans, trainers and a black jacket, and with his hair swept back in a ponytail, Khan was in town to promote his coming action thriller Don 2, which is set for release on December 23.
His last visit was with his costars Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma on November 13 for the world premiere of his romance directed by Yash Chopra.

Listen: To Ameer Salah 2013 Single امير صلاح شو في ما في 2013

Most people who are young and living in Jordan will greet you with this phrase, "Shu Fi Ma Fi" it's a combination of what's up and what's happening. But for one young Jordanian singer trying to make it in the world of pop music, he took that phrase and turned into a song. a song that was written by Mohamed Bouchnaq.

The young voice is Ameer Salah, he recorded his song in a local studio and released for the public. Ameer has been doing local concerts in Amman with old covers, this is his debut song. It's a happy dance song that will fire up the crowd, a good career starter.

Listen: مكس تيب - أسلوب مقدسي | Osloob Maqdsi - Mixtape

Palestine won't be liberated because you made a rap song for it, but the rap song will liberate you. Free people can bring about change. This is why I try to promore good rappers, not the attitude and the swag, but the art itself helps some people tell their stories.

The group is called Osloob Maqdsi or Jerusalem Style. A rapper tells his story of growing up in the city of Jerusalem. It's very telling the rapper is for resistance and he speaks volumes about both the Israeli and the Palestinian politicians.

I really learned new stuff about Jerusalem--like young Palestinian growing up listening to music in Hebrew. The song drums the beat of Arab nationalism and unity. Listen to their mixtape below and tell me you are not moved.

The Brightest Star Among Them All Is Balqees Fathi

Being a Yemeni woman, a gorgeous one too but waiting to sing is not a very conventional path. It's certainly not the path of least resistance. The daughter of a beloved composer did her first singing in her school, then a radio executive asked her to do a radio show Tarab style songs. She did and then things started to come her way when she met contemporary composer Fayez Al Said.

Her voice might be the most colorful among so many stars, she feels authentic, and her emotions seem sincere. You really cannot bluff your way through the songs she chooses to perform  she has the artistic chops to bring complex musical experiences.

She is a refined soul who doe snot fake her personality, if she has something to add, she does it. If not she doesn't try to be something she is really not. Now she she is a beloved star in the Gulf region, she has set sight on Lebanon--where she shoots music videos and has few friends.

Her youth and lean figure do wonders, but her first asset is her voice and her temperament  In few short years, she has organically claimed her spot in the pop scene. I love the poetic songs she gets to perform  And she is engaged and soon to be married Nayef Hazazy to one of the Saudi Arabia' finest soccer stars. She does confess to rotting for the UAE soccer team though.

Video: Rola Saad Sabah Tribute Song رولا سعد في كليب ساعات ساعات

Sabah has moved mountains to entertain the masses across the Arab world. This time Sabah gets a tribute song done by one of her young friends and protegee Rola Saad. A classy cover for a classy song about a women who feels lonely or abandoned.

I did not think this is the best cover for the song, but I know one thing Rola is loyal to Sabah and her legacy. A walk on the beach is all what the Lebanese golden girl wanted to do. I love the mixing of the Rola Saad footage with that of Sabah from the original song.  

The song closes with Rola Saad sitting along on empty theater house watching a Sabah picture, and then a quote about the life of the living legend Sabah. I think the song will bring some joy unto the lives of those fans. As for Rola, I think the song could have been a little better production. But the low production value make you think you are hearing the original recording.

My general  rule is don't mess with the classics, you may get burned in the face by the purists and the loyalists. Unless you know you can add something, do not even think about it.
