Listen: Star Academy Sara Farah New Dance Single اغنيه سارة فرح - بعز الظهر

Some parts of Syria are on fire, and some Syrians are hotter than smoke. Sara Farah is one of those people who are too hot to handle. She was the runner up two years ago for the title of Star Academy, I thought she was great, and as a Syrian she had all those authentic elements that make Syrian talents stand tall as they perform any song they chose to bring to light.

Her comeback is with an original song that reminds her fans that she is not going anywhere, her talent is something or a fresh take on dance songs. In fairness, she sounds like another young Syrian pop songstresses who also won a similar show few years before Sara.

One note, this is the radio version as the rights free songs has yet to be released. The promo picture is a bit sizzling for this time of the year. Sara is doing something new, the way to stay in the radar is to do something people do not expect you to do....she is pulling a chapter from the famous movie Basic Instinct and the leg crossing sexy chair. I like the lyrics, they allow for Sara to show her strength, and they keep her busy in the summer music festival season. The music is upbeat as hell and it's a cool summer breeze that this young lady's career needs.

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.

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.

The Average Song For That Super Awesome Life Partner

People of the internet are loving this new single by new comer Zain Adel. This is a song about the life partner and how they make one of us feel. It's your typical pop song, a catchy beat with straightforward lyrics that we have heard in everyday life.

I think Zain is a cool guy with a sweet voice, his biggest fans won't be the seasoned listeners of the tough critics but rather the young and life loving souls. They have turned out for him and positively commented on his video in glee.

Zain can connect with those young people out there and make sure they are his fan base. Keep on mind Zain had a number of songs for Egypt (see here) and has asked people to support it at those times.

I'm Digging This Algerian Yasmine Song ياسمين - خدني وروح

I have no idea who this songstress, but I know she has it, whatever it is. I am liking this beat and her vocals to this freshly upbeat rack. You get your dance music, the dreamy tone and I am good to go, the song comes in the beloved and romantic Lebanese dialect.

She is Algerian,  a student of business who loved to sing and was influenced her her uncle who is a famous Algerian singer in France. She released her debut song in 2011, and it's the song below. I call is a fun song with the word catchy written all over it. I like the Spanish bulls sequence.

She had Randa Qideeh the well known Lebanese director shot her music video. Also to cement her skill,s Yasmine has gone to school to study music. I say give me more please. I like this song and people seem to have nothing but nice things to say about this single.

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.

A Good Song, Jury Is Out On The Music Video Wassim El Naggar - Fokek / وسيم النجار - فوكك

He has a good voice, nice dance moves, he is animated and dresses well. He is a young Egyptian pop sensation that goes by the name Wassim El Naggar. He is out with a new single made for dance. I like the beat. It's exciting for young talents to see their first music videos, always has been this way.

He has a style and she held his own ground in the music video--he did not make it into a nude show which is refreshing. I just feel the music video could use some better lighting and a better story perhaps. I know the teen girls and young women will find the music video to be fun. This is a clip about a guy telling the girl she is driving him mad.

I feel good about Wassim who is unafraid to come across as a goof ball, he is just out to have some fun and being himself. He has two outfits, the one he wears at the club and the sport outfit from a guy who likes cars. So this is the balance. the soft and the rugged looks are all in one place. The lyrcis are light hearted and seem to have been written by a relative of Wassim. The music is the work of the singer himself.

WATCH: Marwa Ben Sghaier-Je t'aime (studio)مروى بن صغير-

Marwa came from a relatively smaller Arab country, Tunisia and she took part of the Star Academy music reality show. She left with a huge impression as her romantic and dreamy voices truns even the toughest human being into butter. Her Arabic cover of Fayrous and other classics were dazzling to see the least. But her singing in French opened Pandora's box.

 While Marwa has huge following and the name recognition  she is still not a mainstream success  This is not her own fault, but I am award that she is still engaged in the music scene. Marwa is a fragile artist with delicate feelings, she is no business manager.

Check out her latest song in French, as she performs the song in studio. It makes me feel something--even thought I have little idea what her words are saying. I feel she is confessing how much she adores someone, am I right?

Listen: Mostafa Mezher Is Crying Romantic Man مصطفى مزهر - اشتقت لكل شي فيك

This song is not for me, but Roa loves it so very much. Mostafa has a great voice, and I think ti shows in each of his few songs. I am just not in the habit of enjoying grown men who like to cry for love. I might trying to be tougher than my real self. But this song will move your heart and get you to recall earlier memories.

It's hard to tell the nationality of the man behind the song, but not knowing much, he sounds like a Lebanese lover boy. But Jordanians have been doing similar style songs in the past two years. The young man who a million dollar smile delivers a romantic hit. Plus he has a great hair, so he might be getting the media love.

Keep on mind, he appeared on Star Academy 5th season. He is Lebanese who has grew up in the Saudi Kingdom and educated at the American University in Beirut.

WATCH: Carole Samah "Ehsas" Official Music Video كليب كارول سماحة - احساس | جديد 2013

With her gigantic googly eyes, Lebanese super diva is judging you. The scene starts with a guy who is a cheater--note the difference between a cheater and a player. Filmed in Paris, telling a romantic story about those who are in love but the other person is not being upfront about his past. This music video is about breakups and heartache. But aside form that, I do not think Thierry Vergnes added much to the music video. It feels average.

This is a romantic story when it took a wrong turn. When you cheat, do not comeback for a do-over, Carole won't let you easily off the hook. Some people move on and others get stuck in the past, with nothing good going their way emotionally. The song came on her album released on March 13 with 13 tracks, this was the number one hit song and it did deliver the heat. Its composer's name does not sound Arab, he might be Turkish.

This is the curtain call when you want to turn the page once you have had your closure. Salime Assaf wrote the lyrics and showed once again he is the most sensitive lyricist who has show he really get women. The song is not about roses and sunshine, but dark moments. I like some of the affects the director have used.  There are so many tears.

According to this site, the clip was removed by Rotana several minutes after its release. This might be a publicity stunt to get more media stories. According thing according to this Tweeter guy, comes the following image:

The Best (Winners And Losers) On X Factor Arabia

I think X factor is getting to narrow their list of talented names. They are ready to show off their finest voices and show off. One of those is a guy with the name Ibrahim, he is Libyan and he is ready to make them proud--I like him. He makes good choices and shows a level of maturity when doing cover songs. He might be going home, Elissa and Wael were unkind to him. Hussein and Carole were supportive. He was hurt becasue Libya could not vote due to their issues with telecommunication.

ابراهيم - العروض المباشرة - الاسبوع 2 - The X Factor 2013


The other lady is Salwa whose talent is hard to miss. She seems to have the face for it, she is ready to entertain. Her covers of those English songs are something of a novelty, she has it figured out. She has the stage presence and gets in the act. She does the rock star persona very well, though her latest performance left something to be desired. She is also the youngest contestant and she is from Morocco.

سلوى أنلوف - العروض المباشرة - الاسبوع 2 - The X Factor 2013


Merayah, the band that knows what they want and have their own way of doing business. They are a boy band from Egypt who have the sweet and bad boy sides. I think they can do so much more than the soft song they performed. They are a crowd pleasing, but again they song did not allow them to show the happy side.

فرقة مرايا - العروض المباشرة - الاسبوع 2 - The X Factor 2013


He is the statement on the show and his name is Hussam, he has a strong voice, and a highly classy style. He has been singing fro some time since he was an 8 year old boy. I like this guy, he seems to have his quirks going right for him. He does the old man trapped in a young man's body so well. He is Lebanese and from the same area as Wael Kfoury.

حسام ترشيشي - العروض المباشرة - الاسبوع 2 - The X Factor 2013


Egypt gets her own lady on X Factor and her name is Marwa. She has that zen when she performer the oldies, she never races in her voice and she seems to need not to worry about her taking a breath. She comes across as comfortable and confident--thanks to growing in a music loving house\hold.

مروى أحمد - العروض المباشرة - الاسبوع 2 - The X Factor 2013


She is Moroccan and ready for prime time. She started singing in her school and has taken part of a singing show in Morocco. Now she is ready to perform something from Fayrouz. Iman is a strong contender. The judges seem to love her, she chose a song that everyone knows, so messing up in this song means she will go home--I feel she delivered it. She has the Wow factor!

إيمان كركيبو - العروض المباشرة - الاسبوع 2 - The X Factor 2013


The guy who does not seem to want to be there comes from Jordan. He knows himself and not shopping around for an opinion from pop stars. He has something to share with the world. I like him fro that, he does not sell his charisma, but he sells high quality songs, this is Adham and I think he is a solid voice and he may actually win. I think the judges have challenged him to bring the best in him.  He is very good and Jordan will vote him in and push his brand.

أدهم نابلسي - العروض المباشرة - الاسبوع 2 - The X Factor 2013


This is the most unique voice, he is a young Moroccan artist. I love his voice, he is very different and no one out there will be able to copy him. Think a unique George Wassouf, a voice that you cannot help but love even so you may not always understand it. The fans love this dude, and give him the votes. Certainly the boys love him. He is the candy of this show, he actually has divided the panle Elissa and Hussein are among his biggest cheerleaders.

محمد الريفي - العروض المباشرة - الاسبوع 2 - The X Factor 2013


The most talented band on the show, they are the creative force, they bring so much energy and charm , the band members are best of friends, there is so much chemistry. I love the Young Pharoz and something tell me, they are the number one band on the show and they are ready to smoke their competitors out. They are so smooth and Egypt has loved their style. The lady (Shahad) on this trio brings so much flavor in both English and Arabic. They put on a show each has their own talent that sells, but together they are something not to be overlooked.

Young Pharoz - العروض المباشرة - الاسبوع 2 - The X Factor 2013


Ali or Aly from Saudi Arabia, he is 20 years old and he loves his family so very much. He lacks the stage presence, he is good, but I do not think for the big league. He choses to stay withing the Gulf dialect and he is already a star. He does not know this, people love him, he just does not know how to show how much he loves them back

علي حامد - العروض المباشرة - الاسبوع 2 - The X Factor 2013


The Omani dude who is like a magician. I love this dude, he always thinks about the song is his last song, so he goes all in. The judges really like him and he is a crowd pleaser  he knows how to show love and appreciation. He does wonders when he holds the microphone. It's safe to say he will go far, because even people outside Oman\love him--he might be the second artists to be born in that country.  Another thing, he performs like he is a Western star focuses on the show part, and not just the song.
المنتصر بالله - العروض المباشرة - الاسبوع 2 - The X Factor 2013


Another band with a very cool name, ninja is ready they come to us from the West, they have the hustle and flow thing going for them. They do rap, and each come with a story they have gone far with the Western bloc of the Arab world. They are all about energy and joy. They are fun to see them live, their fusion works to their advantage. I believe they are Tunisian. They took a challenge and turned a Lebanese dance song to their own style. Tunisians have to be really good to make it out and thoe guys are no different, they hit all the right notes.

Listen: Cute! Zain Awad Mother Song ست الكل - زين عوض-عيد الأم

She won so many awards at home for being a gifted Jordanian songstress, but her grandest award seems having the greatest mother. For that great mother of hers she just released a mommy the greatest song. A love song about the connection mothers have their own daughters. Zain has attended music school where she specialized in piano and vocals, also she has a B.A. in physical education.

Zain Awad has picked a winner, and it's a lovely song where the lyrics triumph the beat. A personal song from a young artist who has yet to peak. I love the back story the music video brings out. This is a winner collaboration between a new comer Wael Al Sharqawy who wrote the song and composed the music.

WATCH: Mothers Day Single May Kassab Omy / مى كساب - أمي

It's March 21, Spring is here and everyone in Arabia remembers their mothers. Including one cute Egyptian songstress-cum-actress. She just released a song for her mother on her day, and she sounds to be mean each word.

Some of us may hate our own dads, but we almost never hate them mothers. It' makes sense why we celebrate this day with passion. It's like an extra especial. Not the greatest song for mothers, but one of the newest. It's always a good time to say thank you when it's well deserved. May chose the right time to release the single, that went viral so she put together a quick music video for the song.

Jaroudi Media Attracts Talented Arab Singers

A business man with the name Youssef Jaroudi wanted to produce Lebanese entertainment so, he started a production company and went on to sing few names from home. Voices that can add to the Lebanese music scene.

Jaroudi Media will be working and investing in music, music videos, lyrics composing, and music arrangements. So, a number of B list and otherwise talented singers have singed up with Jaroudi. While mos production companies have shut down for the moment, Jaroudi is hoping to make a profit where others have failed. 

The founder seems fond of orchestra music and good times songs from Lebanon, among their biggest finds is collaborating with the iconic composer/singer Samir Sfier on two songs that will be releasing soon. Jaroudi's mantra is quality over quantity, music that promotes peace and harmony.

I am uncertain how profitable/how busy the company will be, but I like what they are trying to accomplish. They have already made two amazing music videos....

WATCH: Sallamta Albeh - GD & Woroud - جورج دفوني وورود - سلمتا قلبي

Here's a fun music video for a romantic song that was recorded in New York with Lebanese pop sensation GD. But he is not the only voice, we get to hear a new star Woroud as a musical guest. GD directed this music video in the New York area and the music video tells his love at first sight. Filmed at the Trump's most celebrated hotel, Taj Mahal. The song was released in time for Valentine day, and now w see the music video. As the title suggests, "To Her, I have surrendered my heart to her"

I like the belt and the bodyguards. This song is about memories and the one person that's hard to forget. We neither forget it, nor do we forgive ourselves. Most names attached to the song and the music videos are either Arab or Arab-Americans. This is a beautiful collaboration coming from North America to the motherland-reversing the trend. GD has helped many Lebanese celebrities come to America for concerts, now his music is carrying him home through the social media and radio stations.

A great deal of time o filmed inside a casino with the high rollers. GD looks the part and has done a great job putting this music video together.The acting is pretty convincing. Both artists seem to have on camera and off camera chemistry. Together they have captured the joy of being in love, having a mutual song that evokes the sweetest of memories.  This would be a fine song to enjoy live on stage, I know this Lebanese American romance has its unique appeal.

Listen: Amanda - Mosta7il 2013 / أماندا - مستحيل

There's an up and coming Lebanese songstress with the name Amanda and she just released a new single--her debut. Radios in Lebanon picked up the song and the music seems to have agreed with what's hip in club mixes. The success prompted Amanda to talk about releasing a new music video.

The thing about this song, it's a good package the loud music overshadow the lyrics  so they do not have to be perfect, just good. And this is the story of all those Euro style electric/funk music. Amanda has another thing going for her she has the textbook mermaid look of fantasies.

This is a good star, I am sure she will get better as she moves forward....Amanda welcome the entertainment industry. Her song is titled "Impossible", like having a thriving career at the moment.

Download: Magdy Saad 2013 Album البوم مجدى سعد - من يوم ما غاب

Magdy Saad is not trying to be something he is not, he just wants to do one thing thatr he is very good at, making music. This explains the release of his new album with an incredible 16 tracks. This is hardly the best time for such release, but for two years and there has not been an ideal time for an album release.

One one thing, Magdy's style is so dark, and those times allow for that. His new album is sort of like the last thing you hear before you shot yourself out of sorrow. There's a demand for those songs, the people who buy those CDs are the poor kids in Egypt who cannot get married but fall in love, when the love bails out on them, they play Magdy's new album and find some peace. This is not a market driven album, there's no sweet cut for anyone, just a guy who like to channel his emotions on record.

Why? It makes them think, I am not the only one! It must get better

Why? It makes them think, I am not the only one! It must get better. Saad is eschewing previous dips into blues, and pop and heartache-oriented sound; in that vein, he's been logging studio time with his friends to turn out this album.The hard work at recording the follow-up album is clear, with that comes a dash of hope to thrive' The album, titled , already has a first single going viral online.

There are happy songs too, but Magdy might have locked himself into one note performer  Another feedback, the music is pretty sophomoric, it 's very simple and lacks proper layering. I believe "Hikayat" is the boldest and most fresh song from Mr. Saad, he should find more gems like this one.

LISTEN: Mohamed El Kammah - Eyak / محمد القماح - إياك

He composed the music, he arranged the music and he sang the lyrics of his new single, just to get you to tune in to his fresh dance love song. Will you listen to Mohamed El Kammah's new song "Eyak" watch out for it, as he warned you not to cross him in the love game.

He is the youngest and perhaps the best looking young star who is hiding his real music talent beneath his outer shell--the one young ladies so very much love.

WATCH: Marwan Khoury Performs A Christmas Hymn مروان خوري - يا إلهي

Marwan Khoury is a singer, composer, poet and a musician. But what I think he is might not be too far from the truth. He is an intellectual who is always in quest to know something new and to do something he has never done before. He has made a very religious song in a way that even those who do not believe in anything can appreciate.

To show that, watch his new performance accompanied by a piano and doing a Christ man hymn made for all souls. A song that makes you want to worship. My understanding, he wrote the lyrics of the hymn where he gives thanks for all the good and simple things God has endowed us with.

This is a beautiful song that comes in the right time with a guy whose romantic songs have traveled the world. This song he has just performed live on TV is wonderful, it moves the listener with God's grace and it moves beyond religions and cultures. Bless Marwan's heart and may he have more because more for this guy does not go to waste.

This must be the year when Arabic Christians had the most songs--at least three Christmas albums out--two very religious ones. And now the Marwan Khour dazzling performance went viral. Is the Arab Spring affect? Or the affect of a slower music market?
